As many of you know, our guitar was stolen a couple years ago.  Well, Jane finally decided to buckle down and buy a new guitar. She bought a half baby Taylor a year and a half ago and started making no interest monthly payments on it. We have rehearsed with the guitar but never used it in a show because we didn't get a plug-in for it yet. 

Well, there are now only 3 more payments left until the guitar is paid off! Woohoo! And we got a plug in installed for this little guitar. And then.......... Jane dropped it. Cracking it. 

The utter despair, shame, anger, and just horrible feelings is indescribable.  

Well, fortunately, the crack (although it was substantial) was able to be fixed at a "reasonable" price and we have finally rehearsed with it plugged in.  It sounds good.  

A horrible experience. But Jane has now learned that as annoying as it is, she now has to take two trips from her car to her apartment to carry her guitar, cello, work tote bag, and laundry. Otherwise it is inevitable that things will fall. And break.
