The Bucket List

I've never been a very goal oriented person but I am trying desperately to change that. I have always seen goals as being very confining and disappointing when not obtained. However, the last few days I've really been thinking about making some goals for my Golden Year. On my list so far are learning to cook and play guitar (I'm all about realistic expectations). I had a slumber party with my parents at Chez Rey tonight and I am happy to report- I have learned how to play THREE CHORDS on a 6 string! My pops is teaching me and I am pretty stoked about it :) My fingers are raw and hurt so bad but I'm sure the pain will be worth it! It was a rather musical evening, we YouTubed quite a few guitar videos- I highly recommend "Canon in D electric guitar." After our first lesson, we decided to watch a movie and wouldn't ya know, The Bucket List was on! Talk about confirmation that I need to make goals in life! Needless to say, it was a great movie and I sobbed!

This is what I learned tonight- I took pics so I could practice later. That seems a lot easier than reading the charts my pops made for me ;)

Me and Cryssy had a little review session after Pops went to bed- she took guitar lessons years ago and learned several songs. Despite not playing for years, she picked it up as if she'd never stopped playing! Go Crys!
