This morning, while I was composing the very-difficult-to-write post about my newfound chocolate sensitivity, I received word that I won a year's subscription to Strings magazine plus a $100 gift basket from an LA luthier for a 250-word contest entry I wrote on Emily Wright's online teaching technique via her cello blog.Whee!
This was especially nice, because I didn't do it for the prize; I did it because Emily was looking for an idea of how readers interpret her lessons and approach. Of course, the prize is really quite nice too, because who wouldn't want a goodie bag of cello-related stuff? (Er. Anyone who is a cellist, that is. I have no idea what most of you would do with such a thing. No, wait, yes I do: You'd give it to me!) The subscription is timely because I was going to have to let my subscription to Strings lapse this fall; it's too expensive for me right now.
So. Yes. What a lovely surprise.
I really need to get back to working on the taxes.

Congrats!! I'm dying to know what's in the gift basket! You're right..only a cello geek would be excited about the basket :)
Thanks for reminding me about the taxes. Ugh!
I promise to detail it when it arrives, possibly even with photos! And you're welcome, but I'm also sorry I reminded you about the taxes. No fun at all.
