Christmas Piano Music?

Does anyone have the piano sheet music to Mary's Lullaby (Tonight You are Mine)?? I have looked everywhere and can't find my copy. I will pick it up, make a copy and have it back to you in a jiffy if you do!

Call or email me!

Thanks!

I have to post this here...

Because unlike many who have the fun spoiled early by peers or parental choice my nine year old still tries to believe and he also reads my blog so I can't put it there.
but anyway on to the point... Do you notice the difference in these two pictures:



and which do you do at your home?

wrapped or unwrapped, that is the question.

I have essentially won the debate at my home. For the following reasons:

We have done both and even though Kyle claims "unwrapping" is half the fun - he has seen just as much enjoyment from the gifts sitting there in a pile with no wrapping in all their glory.

With four kids, unwrapping can get tedious because you have to do the "slow down everyone", "wait its not your turn yet" or the dreaded "I think a gift got accidentally thrown away in all that wrapping paper"

Not to mention - hiding santa specific paper, the sheer man hours of wrapping all that stuff for four kids, and all the trash it creates.

So you won't move me to the 'Santa Wraps' team, but I would like to know if I am in the minority.

In Cjane's forum its currently tied.....

To All the Long-Legged Ladies

Does anyone know where to buy "Tall" pants with about a 34 inch inseam? I used to get mine at Maurices and I loved them, but the closest one is in Oklahoma somewhere. Since I'm not a great shopper, any tips would be helpful.

Thanks!

Babysitting Help

One of the classes I'm taking next semester is on a Tuesday from 11:30am-12:50pm. Ben works from home a few days a week and would likely be home to watch Austin during this time, but he can't control when meetings are scheduled and usually has to be in the office for those. So I'm needing someone or a few people who are willing to sort of be on "stand by" in case Ben can't be at home on a Tuesday. Chances are I don't know when he can and can't be at home until monday night, so I'd need someone who has a pretty flexable schedule that could work Austin in at the last minute. I'm totally willing to pay $5/hr (is that high/low? I have NO idea what the going rate is for sitter these days). If anyone can help me out, that'd be great!!!

Piano for Sale

For anyone in the market, I am selling my piano. It is an Elburn 1954 spinet piano made for the Jenkins company. It is a great piano for beginning students. It has a very nice sound board that is not easy to find in older pianos. It comes with a matching longer duet bench. I am the second owner of the piano and I have had it for five years. The mahogany finish does have some scratches, etc and several of the keys are chipped. I recommend filing all of the keys down. My tuner charges $150 for this service. The other problem with the piano is that right damper pedal has a slight squeak when pressed. The piano would have to be taken to the shop to repair the pedal and would probably be quite expensive. I am asking $500 or better offer for it. Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks,
Erin
