This Is Me Maria

When I was a little girl, my parents made me take piano lessons. I didn’t want to, especially since they wouldn’t let me dance anymore. Dance lessons were expensive and we were poor. We lived with my grandmother who has a very old tall piano in her home.

Just the other day I was listening to some songs on the little piano on my iphone (insert snicker) and I realized how much I missed having a piano to play on.

My parents used to say that I would be glad they made me learn how to play one day, and they were right. It is too bad I don’t have a piano to play on.

I am so ridiculous, if it was just me running the show here and no husband to defer to I would sell my van to buy a baby grand and put it in the living room and put the big couch downstairs. I’d walk or take the bus everywhere.

It is okay, you can laugh.
