You can order replacement lids for your Pyrex glass storage bowls! (I got mine from Amazon). Those bowls get a workout in our house, and we had managed to loose almost all the lids. I’m so happy to have new lids. In fact, now I even have spare lids. I’m sure that won’t last long. I’m positive there is some kind of a monster in my cupboard that frequently steals lids from my storage containers.
At the piano I started learning a new Bach fugue, as well as an interesting piece by Isaac Albaniz.
When taking a picture of a LARGE group of people, take about a hundred more frames than you think you need, and double check, triple check, quadruple check that you can see everyone’s face. The evening I took pictures for my choir, it was raining and we were in a rush to get out of the inclement weather. I made a lot of mistakes, which lead to the fact that we had to retake the picture on a different day. I felt a little upset with myself, but it’s OK. We learn from our mistakes, and no one was harmed in the process!
I never thought I would have any use for an insulated cup like a Yeti tumbler. I’m not the kind of girl who carries around cups with things to drink when I leave my house (probably because I try not to leave my house any more than necessary). Earlier this month, though, we were headed to get bagels with some of the kidlets, and I thought to grab a jar to bring a glass of milk along from home. “Why don’t you use my Yeti cup?” suggested Dr. Peds. You can’t really put milk in a water bottle because it makes the lid gross, but you CAN put milk in a Yeti cup because the lid is constructed so differently. Let me tell you, it was pretty great having a cold glass of milk with my bagel.
Taking pictures of fast moving toddlers requires a higher shutter speed than I remembered. Oh the things you forget when you no longer have toddlers around! I really do love toddlers and preschoolers, and I miss them a lot.
On the cello I’m learning some nitty gritty technical things, like finger balance and some specific string crossing techniques, that feel like slow progress, but are really helping.
