Bye Bye, Baby...

It is a bittersweet moment in my house today. There are a whole lot of people about to gasp as I tell you what has just happened.

I am having trouble telling you, that is why I am stalling.

Okay, here goes...

The Bosendorfer has been adopted.

Yes, I mean sold.

YES... I KNOW!!! (Regaining composure...Sorry about that little outburst.)

One minute I am posting an ad on Craigslist (not exactly guerilla marketing), the next minute I am fielding several unexpected phone calls, and the next minute she is sold to the very first person who came to see her. I was going to wait and post real goodbye pictures of the piano movers hauling her away on Tuesday, but that would have been a lot like stopping to take snapshots of burly men as they kidnap your child.

I am a little (okay, a lotta) sad.

Then again, our family has come to realize that a few temporary lifestyle downgrades would really help speed things along for some of our other goals... (the semi-sweet part of the bittersweet). So - we concluded that maybe we didn't need to own the finest piano made in the world...Yet.

Choices. I guess we all make our share of tough ones.
My most beloved know that I really do need a hug right now.

I am sure it won't be long before we find a suitable (tolerable) stand in (for my baby?!?) - After all, an hour and a half is a long time to entertain Mr.C (our fabulous piano teacher) every Thursday without any instruments in the house.

Here is where you console me.
