One of my piano students made a little clay bear on a toothpick swing for me today. It's adorable beyond words.

I'll miss her when I go to Winston-Salem. I only get to teach her one more lesson. She's the one who, when I was teaching her bass C, middle C, and treble C, burst into giggles, hid her face, and squealed "It's like two guards! Middle C is the king and the other C's are the guards!"

She made a lot of careless mistakes in her theory workbook this week, and when I had finished checking it, and marking all the wrong answers, she gave a big sigh and said, "I thought I knew it so I did it real fast. I guess pride goes before a fall."

Teaching children in the 7-15 age range doesn't usually thrill me, but we've had an awful lot of fun.

Late night conversations with the John's about monasteries and messy desks, Sampsons, treehouses and Bosendorfers are great fun.

My dentist has ordered me to have all my wisdom teeth removed.

It's like there's a conspiracy against wisdom teeth. Or a jihad or something.

As to the wisdom teeth thing, it isnt that bad. Actually it was really fun coming out of that deep sleep. You will feel like doing wierd things (like wanting to talk to everyone around you and asking, "Where are the cows?", but I suggest you dont give into that. <g> I didnt really ask that btw but I felt like talking to everyone around.

) Really it isnt bad, but you will be uncomfortable for a week at the most. and to get lots of ice cream really work it

hey think about it though... after the surgery you get to eat all the jello and ice cream you want!!

My dentist tried to convince me to have my wisdom teeth out early. Poor fellow. He should have known better. (It was my first dentist visit in two-and-a-half years.)

Regardless of the jello and ice cream, you have my sympathies. I hope it goes well!

Will do, Karoline! Yes, aren't Greek words great? They're so fun to pronounce!

I can't eat ice cream!!!! I'm allergic to milk!!! What will I do? Starve?

Karoline! Just remember what my viola teacher told me when I had to have my wisdom teeth removed: "You know what the Scriptures say. . . 'With much wisdom comes much sorrow.' "

actually there is a type of ice cream that uses soy milk. so its completely non-dairy. i know you can get it at grocery stores like whole foods. you might could get it at lowes foods too and theres a grocery store in chapel hill called weaver street market that carries it as well. also, theres always sorbets and italian ice. i'm a big fan of all soy products though, so i'd recommend the soy milk ice cream :)

I would have starved without ice cream... so um just kidding about the "dont worry" thing.
