You too, no didn't get any books for Christmas but I did get a great Skype microphone that is USB not an MMJack one and it is better sounding, no interference whatsoever, and I also got my Kurzweil 1000 update, kind of weird though since I didn't order it and I didn't sign any papers for the DOR to confirm a hard copy of my signature to be their client once again, and they don't usually order stuff unless they receive my signature, odd, is it not? Well I got version 12.02 and I can't tell which engine I like better yet, and am looking forward to getting a new scanner soon, hopefully a Plustech Opticbook3600 from the DOR, last I saw, Best Buy had it for $230.00. ---------------- "If you go without playing the trumpet for one day, no one knows, two days, only you know, and more than three days without practicing, girl you better look out, because everyone will know!" Today, I find myself constantly saying those words, just to get myself going, to not give up, and it works. Since I learned to play the trumpet at the tender age of 10, I have spent so much passion and much diligence with that instrument that I will not give up on it. Sometimes my instrument puts me into awkward situations where I feel like they won't ever end, but the trumpet gives me a lot of hope with the majestic, crystal-clear sound it brings to my ears. ---------------- Chela Robles E-Mail: cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxx MSNWindowsLive Messenger: cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: jazzytrumpet ----- Original Message ----- From: Amber Wallenstein To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, December 25, 2009 1:02 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] merry christmas and did any one get anything Merry Christmas and a belated happy solstice, Happy Kwanza and Happy Hanukah, everyone.
