this weekend, after much convincing that i needed one right now, dannon bought me a ukulele!!! i'm so excited i can hardly stand it!
i've wanted one for years, so has he, but it was always one of those things that got put on the back burner {somehow paying for food, electricity, and underwear always topped ukulele on the necessities list}. then came our halloween idea - she & him. you may remember people telling us we looked just like them when we went to a she & him concert this summer, and that sort of stuck as an easy and fun costume idea. but we wanted music to be a part of our costume and dannon rocking out m. ward style on an electric guitar just seemed a little too complicated. so i insisted that we get a ukulele for me to play! it's going to be awesome, but for now poor dannon has to hear me play she & him songs over and over every day. sorry dear!
what are you going to be/do for halloween?
First off that sounds like a lot of fun! Good for you being motivated to learn something new and actually practice it! That can be harder than it sounds.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, CUTE PLACE. Is that where you both live? Wherever that is, the place is styling! Love the bookshelves and the comfy armchair.
Lastly, my apartment as a whole is planning on being trainers from our mutual favorite show as kids - pokemon. College allows some people to be a little, um, wild, with their costumes so we're looking for something a bit more innocent I guess. We'll see how well we carry through though. :)
That's a brilliant Halloween couple costume idea! Please do share pics. And the ukulele is such a cute instrument -- you're going to have so much fun learning to play it.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! My hubby has been wanting one forever! I bet your voice is amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, SO COOL!
ReplyDeleteHubs and I are going to be a guido and a guidette. Kinda bleh but what can you do?
Thats such a cute idea!! I bought a uke about a year ago and still havent got around to learning woopsy!
ReplyDeleteThat room looks really nice.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Halloween, I am thinking more towards Freddy Krueger.

yay i'm glad you're doing she & him, it's so perfect! im going to dress as a strawberry (random i know!). i need to find a red dress first, but i'm planning to sew on black felt seeds and wear a green sequined head piece that i have for my stem / leaves.
ReplyDeleteYay! Awesome costume idea (you two do sort of look like She & Him) and I hope you'll post a video of you serenading us with your ukulele tunes! I taught with a guy a few years back who had ukes for his entire class. The music coming from his classroom across the hall from mine always made me smile...
ReplyDeleteawesome! I can't believe halloween is so close! Usually we start planning in august, but this year we are so far behind!
ReplyDeleteOh awesome! She and Him plus a ukulele is perfection.
ReplyDeleteoooh this is such a great Halloween costume idea, I can't wait to see pictures... how's the ukelele playing going?
