These are my Birthday Presents

I'm a little copying Molly, and a little copying Lauren and Lindsey, but I REALLY wanted one of these guys and I got one! Because I specifically told my parents it's what I wanted (they did not get me the electric toothbrush on my list, however). Today Myke and I are going to buy records because I don't have any and he's too paranoid to let me borrow his. Of course I want my own collection, too. I love all the sounds the record players make. Like the sound of the arm moving and then settling down on the record before it starts playing. Also!! It's a "stack-o-matic" which means I can put 4 records on and when one ends another will drop and start playing! It's like the beginning of Happy Days!


Last night when I got it I was really excited to play something but realized I didn't have any records. My mom pulled through with a couple of ooold Hawaiian records she hadn't gotten rid of, including one of her high school choir singing. I think it was a little fitting that the first records this baby played were weird old Hawaiian music records, because that's the type of music that really seems right for record playing. We listened to a one hit wonder Japanese guy with ukelele and guitar that belonged to my grandma. I think it would be funny to only listen to instrumental music from the 60s on it and drink martinis all the time.

P.S. I didn't force Blanco to be in this photo shoot, she wanted to.
