Music-related busy-ness
I'm near 100 subscribers on my YouTube channel. This means I'll have to do a special thank-you video. I was trying to think of a song that would be good, one that I *know*...and all I can think of at the moment is just the chorus of "You Are My Sunshine". I am working on so many other songs and projects for things coming soon, that I don't really have time to work up a new song for this. Oh well!
I just got my Ukulele Underground baby tee shirt in the mail today! I'll wear that in my 100 subscribers video! :-)
Today I got the chords worked out for Cat'r's and my Doctor Who Christmas filk song medley. I'll have to see if the keys I chose will be okay for his voice too. So stuff is still in pencil.
I finished crocheting my red Fun Fur scarf that I'm going to wear in another Christmas video that'll be soonsoonsoon.
So many songs in mind! And then there are the rest of the Christmas decorations to get out and put around the house! Eeeeep!
current mood: busy

Weather weather weather
Wow, The Weather Authority (WKRC-TV) Stormboard has finally started hopping! I've been watching it obsessively for the last few weeks, hoping people would start having interesting things to say about possible interesting weather (i.e. SNOW!).
Things just kinda POPPED starting yesterday! I had lots of threads to read through. So much speculation about possible storms. I waver between wanting to believe and wondering if we really will get any big snowstorms. I LOVE snow!
But oh wait. How good was that roof repair after last January's snow/sleet/freezing rain mess that leaked into our living room? We've had very heavy rains and it's held. But snow. I always love lots of snow. But lots of it lying there up on the flat roof...I never worried about that before last winter. ::sigh::
Well, we'll just see what happens. I do want it to finally be real winter!
current mood:  thoughtful

Today so far
Ahahaha! I haven't gotten much done yet. I had breakfast and tried to catch up on reading tweets. I had to skim, as I'd let a couple days go by!
I got my ukulele strings today that I'd bought on sale from Elderly Instruments. One set was mislabeled--I had ordered Aquila low-g sopranos, and they sent me high-g tenors. I phoned them, and they'll be sending out the right ones for me. I asked what to do with the tenors; and they said just keep them, that it wouldn't be worth the postage to return them! I've dealt with Elderly many times over the years, and I've always been very pleased with their products and service. :-)
Now I'm online, catching up on Ukulele Underground and YouTube and email.
Oooo yeah, a day or so ago I bought a UU baby tee in brown! I can't wait!
Cat'r will be over later. We'll probably play a board game and/or card game at some point. And I think I'm going over to his place to play some Rock Band too.
current mood:  peaceful

Christmas is coming!
We bought a new Christmas tree this year, almost a month ago! It's a table-top fiber optic tree--beautiful!
So tonight we put up our tree (on the stereo) and put the wreath on the door! Yay! We've begun our decorating! Over the course of the next few days I plan to get the decorations out for the rest of the house.
current mood:  excited

My first Christmas video
This little ditty jumped into my head a few days ago and wrote itself in about five minutes--can you tell?! LOL! Anyway, I hope you like it! Lyrics below the video:
Santa please bring me an ukulele
A Watermelon or Kiwi would do
A Mainland would be even better
I trust that you know what to do
A Fluke or Flea’d be great
Ohana can’t be beat
KoAloha in koa would really be a treat
So Santa please bring me an ukulele
I’ve tried to be good this year
I really mean it!
I’ve tried to be good all year!

Thanksgiving Day!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Today we'll probably be watching "The Tale of Despereaux", various TV programs, playing board and card games, and eating. :D
I'm very thankful for my family and friends (both online and off), that Cat'r is living back here in town, that he's got a good job and a nice apartment, and that I've discovered the wonderful community of folks at Ukulele Underground (and also on YouTube).
I hope everyone has a safe and happy day!

Stuff done a little late etc.
Two things from yesterday's to-do list that I got finished today:
--Finished crocheting and putting together mouse ears headband
--Washed dishes :-D
Going to eat (late) lunch, then cook & process my little meals for the next few days.
After that we're going over to Cat'r's place to watch "The Amazing Race". He just got a new futon/couch, so that'll be nice.
current mood:  hungry

Three-month anniversary!
I've been playing the ukulele for three months now! Woohoo! I love the ukulele, and I love all the wonderful people online I've met because of it! Ukulele Underground ROCKS!
Just did a video yesterday, but have to see if my song is too similar to another song that came to mind after-the-fact. It's for Christmas, so it's not up yet.
And my friend in Germany and I are moving along on our special Christmas collaboration music video! Well, he's doing almost all the work, as he's going to be playing several instruments and doing all the video and sound editing! He also rocks! Check out his YouTube channel!
current mood: excited
