I am guilty! I have not been practicing my piano selection as much as I should be with the national competition so close. Today, when I went to piano lessons, we did have to refresh my memory on some of the dynamics before I could feel good about my performance. Lesson learned: PLAY MORE OFTEN!

After my intense piano lesson, Jacques and I went up to the Coon Rapids High School to play tennis with my friends. Jacques did tell me that he loved tennis but he left out the part about being good at it! The not so coordinated me looked foolish across the court from him.

To end the day or start the morning, my family and I finished pricing the items for our garage sale. There are been many gracious people who have donated their “junk” to us to sell. Looking at it in the garage, it did not look like a lot and I actually complained to my mom that this was going to be a small sale. Was I wrong or what?! Pricing everything took until 2 A.M. to finish! This is the start of my late nights and early mornings. I had to be up at 5:30 to get ready.
