shadesofmauve: (Krogan Party)
My parents gave me a ride in to work for my birthday, complete with present (knee pads* for gardening and working on the house, hooray) and a jar of bubbles'n'bubble wand for using at work.

My parents are cool.

*wanders off singing to self*

May the candles on my cake
burn like cities in my wake...


*Kneepads are awesome for anyone doing that kind of work, but the way my right knee is mis-built they could/should make a huge difference.
shadesofmauve: (baby)
My sweetheart just gave me the most amazing birthday gift.

He has a friend who has been learning to be a luthier for a few years, now -- and he's having that friend make me a custom tenor guitar.

I was floored. I still kind of am.

A tenor guitar is smaller bodied than most guitars and has only four strings, which are tuned in fifths to CGDA, like a viola or tenor banjo. Being tuned in fifths means that I don't have to relearn fingerings to play it. And it will be custom made by someone who loves building instruments, just for me. *dances* *squees*

GLEEEEE!
