are you twins?

we went to do some shopping over the weekend at walmart and as we were leaving the door greeter asked are you twins?..we said yes and she said there was a set of identical twins here just a moment ago.. she said lets see if they are still here. so we follow her outside and there was a set of identical 80+ year old ladies...lol...one had those big glasses you get when you have your eyes dilated on and the other in a motorized cart cause she broke her hip..and they explained how one was helping the other since she broke her hip.. and how one still has their license the other doesn't..it was kinda neat conversation. i told Gina that's gonna be us..lol..

today

today we pulled out our instruments..i opened the case and got hit in the face with that brass poisoning smell..it was nice..its been so long since we played.. i put the trombone together and try to play it and yeah i couldn't do it..lol..it took awhile but got a decent sound out of it and actually remembered how to play a bflat scale..shocked me..gina pulled out her french horn..the strings on the values were broke so she couldn't really do anything with it. she got a bit of a sound out of it. think im going to try and start playing again on a daily basis.. i do miss it.

Music

Here's whats been going on with us lately...nothing...lol..just been kinda hanging out with the family getting ready for Christmas stuff like that. The microwave almost caught fire today...i was heating something up and the microwave started to shoot sparks out the vents..i unplugged it and put up an out of order sign to warn others..lol..we applied at walmart yesterday going to apply at a few more places..hopefully we will find a job soon..money is kinda running low.
our cats hate each other. when the 3 are a in room together it turns into a battle royale...lol..kinda funny. bags (the cat we brought from Washington) just wants to play with the other cats and the two other cats aren't having it.
