We finally got a good solid snowfall...which means, yes, a SNOWDAY! Yippee! I got to play outside in the snow and go sledding, and bake chocolate chip cookies. That sounds so cliche but they are delicious. It's the third time I've made them and I am getting pretty good. Also I'm going ice skating with my friends later. And, I admit, not much practice was to be had today. But I had a quartet rehearsal, which I just got home from.

I had a lesson yesterday, and even though I thought I was understanding the whole bow thingamajig, but it turns out I didn't! My teacher said I was thinking about the whole thing to much and trying too hard to process it. It's more of a feeling...but I like if there's something really big I can think about...I guess it's easier! I'm still working on that.

In other news, one of my mom's older piano teacher's students and I are doing some Joplin duets! Yeah! (This student happens to be blind, he is one of her big successes. He's very good.) I can't wait. We're starting with "The Easy Winners".

I got this idea from Sydney...does anyone here know how to pronounce my first name? *hint hint*

--alice (or perhaps not)

If you were analytical about something, you have to work it back into the non-analytical realm of feeling, and then not thinking about it at all, to finish I think.

I know how to pronounce it but don't ask me to spell it! You could start using your real. Alicelizard S is cool though.

Could it perhaps be...Alice? Or are you talking about something else? ; )
I found out when I heard it on the radio. I already knew how to spell it, but your mom let me in on that little clever secret. ;)
yes, but you didn't specify to which personality's first name I'm to pronounce
I learned how to pronounce your name several years ago when I developed an interest in the group music jams of Ireland by the gaelic name. :-) It's a great name.
