My Little Uke

Ok, so I think I forgot to tell you guys but this little guy is coming my way soonish!  It's a Fender Soprano ukulele! I'm very excited! (Just in case all the exclamation marks didn't make it obvious)  

In my opinion, ukuleles make everything sound happier and happy is good.

Just in case any of you are cooler than me and allready have a ukulele, here is one of my favourite ukulele websites.  http://ukulelehunt.com  It's full of tips, chords, tabs, reviews and just about everything ukulele!

I should be getting my little ukulele next month.  So in a short while I'll be strumming away.  

The next instrument I have my eye on is a cajon.  Just in case you're not sure what that is, it's a type of drum.  It's like a box you sit on and you play.  It is also referred to as a "drum kit in a box".  Lots of buskers use them.

I love drums.  Is it just me or does it always look like the drummer in the band is having the most fun?  Since learning real drums seems a lot more difficult and a LOT more money, this seems the next best option.

This is what one looks like...

 So there you go.  Aren't they cool!  

I have a feeling I won't actually get round to buying one, well at least I need to teach myself ukulele first!  

NAILED IT

I don't know if you've seen those "nailed it" memes floating round the web but I have decided to dedicate this post to them.  Just in case you're not familiar, here's an example.

I thought you guys might like to know that today instead of making red velvet cupcakes, I went for a cookies and cream cupcake recipe from the Primrose Bakery.  I totally nailed it.

NAILED IT!

Deal was, I was in a rush to get them to the bake sale and I hadn't made the frosting because I needed two more egg whites and I didn't know we were low on eggs.  Dad whipped up some frosting (which went everywhere) and we slapped it on the cupcakes and threw Oreo chunks on.  All didn't go to plan.  They still tasted good though and the bake sale managed to clock up quite a bit of money for my youth group and I guess that is what matters. :)
