I’m beginning to realize I should have named my youngest daughter, rather than my ex-husband doing it. I would have named her something like Siobhan, or Nuala or something creative.<\/p>\n
I guess she’s okay with Carrie, although both of us would be happier if even that was spelled with a celtic flair. Kerry. Dark natured, dark-haired. Suits her.<\/p>\n
Anyway, my little celtic daemon has decided she really does like playing the flute, but would rather play one more suited to her heritage. <\/p>\n
I had no idea that an Irish flute costs as much as half a year’s rent in this hobbit-house.<\/p>\n
SO, to ebay we went…and are still sitting. I’m bidding on a relatively gorgeous, tunable D that is far and away from the prices I’ve seen elsewhere. These are the nights I wish our old family friend was around, replying to emails. He’d know if we are doing the right thing. He’s musically inclined and has a flute of his own. AND it’s all his fault, really. He got her started on the penny whistle.<\/p>\n
However, if she thinks I’m gonna go all out with the rhinestone studded one that she’s been drooling over (Michael damn Flatley, his royal hotness) she’s got another think coming.<\/p>\n
By the way, she’s giggling. Giggling and my dark, evil daemon don’t go well together. I’m frightened.<\/p>\n
