somehow, i thought i already responded to the intro thread, but don't see it anywhere. ok. here it goes. my name is susan. am married to a baritone singer/computer analyst and have three children. being that i have children (monkeys) i am used to the jungle idea that bob set up. i am beginning to be able to deal with distractions, noises, people falling off the roof - by intense meditation. i get this way when i play the piano. for istance, a person could fall right past the window, and i'd keep on playing (unless they started moaning really pathetically).
played until midnight the other night (due to extreme humidity and sleeplessness - plus i love piano) and tested the mettle of my neighbors by ending with mussorgsky's pics at an exhibition. i thought for sure someone would come over and blast me. nobody did. i only do this several times a year. usually on holidays. i wish i could do it every night. (no, not that - that's second).
spirituality (reading the bible), piano, bicycling, interior design, landscape design, sewing, a little cooking - are my passions. whatever i do at the tiem is my passion. therefore, i am very confused with so much to do and so little time. when i sit at the piano, i pretend i am on stage and playing for at least 50 people. then, when i cook, i pretend i'm julia child (until my daughter refuses to eat what i cooked), then for some self-assuredness - i work out bicycling or cleaning the house. cleaning a house is a huge work out - if you do it for like 2 hours. by then - the area that i started with is messed up again. then - tv - watch landscapers challenge, divine design or designer's challenge. dream of having three jobs when 3 year old goes to school. i want to sew pillows (according to needs of customer - sizes, shapes, etc.) - i want to help someone in their business with designing and painting and possibly murals (recently found some skylight ideas of how to paint windows on celing), and i want to teach a little piano - and finally - but really first - play a PIANO CONCERTO. soon!
