It has been yet another eventful day full of nothing for this college student. Whoops. I did shower though...so that's something. Right? I'm boring.
Memory #108
As I write this post I'm again snuggled up in my bed with my two animals (per usual) but from my bed I have a view of the guitar my mom bought for me a couple summers back. I remember when I was younger, in elementary school I believe, I really wanted to learn how to play guitar. So my mom bought me this guitar that was bright eccentric blue and I loved it. The only problem with it though was that it was huge. I mean I could put that sucker on my lap and not be able to see what I was doing because it so big. So it pretty much went to go live in the guest room closet because I never really said anything about it and my mom never really asked. Then my mom a couple years later decided she wanted to learn how to play guitar so she went out and bought herself a guitar and a crap ton of self taught books on how to play the guitar, along with a bunch of books of guitar songs. This phase sizzled out pretty quick and pretty soon her guitar was left sitting in its case tucked away in some random corner not to be disturbed, which is what usually happens in the Langford house haha.
When my mom got diagnosed with cancer she started wanting to do more things that she hadn't previously done. This included trying to really learn how to play the guitar so my mom and I decided to cash in our guitars and buy proper guitars. I remember bringing the guitar straight to my room and teaching myself to play three chords that night and getting so excited that I ran downstairs to show my mom. She got so excited that she also attempted to learn the three chords. We were absolutely terrible in switching from chord to chord but we did however nail the separate chords. It didn't really matter though we were having a hoot just playing the same chord over and over again and laughing as if we were three year olds.
Love always,

Hey Erin - you're not boring or lazy and at least you can use and spell big words - your time in aggieland is well spent. I have a large repertoire of guitar pieces in which I know like 3 measures of the song - ask your dad. My recommendation, practice and learn the entire song - 1 song at a time. Then you'll be able to play for your kids someday!!
