New additions to the Terrace

No new roommates. Just a few new toys. I am worn out from the weekend and my fingers are not cooperating so no novel tonight. The Terrace aquired some new toys this weekend. First of which is our very own trampoline. Full size. One of the Katies is mortified that I would come home with a trampoline at the age of 25 but I secretly think that she'll be the first to sneak outside and partake in the excitement while the rest of us are at work this week. The trampoline is from my parents house and is a donation from the Nicholson's for future roommate bonding sessions. In highschool everyone in the neighborhood would meet at our trampoline at night in the summers and then we'd go do what highschoolers do from there. Flashlight tag, sneaking into the club pool! I love summer break!
I also brought home some bongo drums. Kat has a guitar and so I wanted a musical insrument too. I went home today and my brother had recently purchased a mandolin. I had never really touched an instrument with strings before. Whoa. So I start putting together a melody (melody only to my own ears). My brother came in after my self taught lesson on the mandolin. I was holding it like a violin. Wrong. Needless, Matt suggested that maybe I start with the bongos so he donated some bongos on loan until I master the new skill. My roommates will love my new toy I am sure. Especially in lieu of the music we listen to at night with the windows open and the twinkle lights on. Watch out Ben Harper.
Harmonica next?

Going to make some noise with my new bongos on the trampoline. You wish you were here.
