Let's Make a Deal!

So, since the beginning of the year, I have been trying to get Mike to let my buy some sort of roadbike. I really wanted a motorcycle, but I said that I would be satisfied with a scooter. What can I say? I love the feeling of cruising around on a warm summer night with the wind in my hair... Anyway, Mike would tentatively agree that I could get a scooter, but without fail, he would always find some reason to where it wouldn't work out or I had to meet some special criteria: "You can get one after you get a motorcycle endorsement" or "You can get one after you learn to ride a 4-wheeler smoothly".

I finally decided that enough was enough, and I offered him a deal. I said that I would stop asking for a bike if only I could get a piano instead. I have wanted a piano for a long time: I took lessons growing up, but I haven't really been able to play since we got married. He agreed to that, but our progress towards actually getting something moved very slowly. Something always seemed to come up that prevented us from looking at pianos.

I am glad to say that the deal has finally been made - I got my piano! I chose an ebony colored Boston upright. It was a hard decision, but I could not pass up the amazing sound that this piano produced. We were looking at a few other pianos, and this upright actually sounded much better than a grand that was made by a different company. It truly is a great piano and I am excited to begin practicing again!

This is the piano that I bought, except mine is ebony instead of honey colored

Sounds like you've made a good deal. Just wait it out. You'll get your scooter sooner or later.

It looks very pretty. I've always wanted to get back into playing the piano, too.
