for christmas, randall surprised me with a melodica. if you don't know what one is, it is essentially a mini piano that you play by blowing into it. like one of those recorders you played in elementary school, but with an accordion keyboard on it instead. needless to say, i heart it. i've always wanted my own since back in college (i played one in our ridiculous college band - we had one gig and i played the melodica and more or less recited some letters to the editor) but never got around to buying one. i've been eyeballing them lately, and randall remembered for christmas.
something tells me he's going to regret this sooner than later.

This is Pengy (pronounced Pen-Ghee), and each day for the last month or so he has greeted us at the door. Sadly though, it is time to say goodbye, at least until next year. Pengy is off to take watch in the garage until the next holiday season comes along.
How'd we meet? A few years ago, we ran into each other at Target. I wanted to bring him home, but couldn't justify the price. The next day -- it happened to be Christmas -- I told randall we should've gotten him. So randall said well tomorrow he should be on sale, so let's wake up early tomorrow and rescue him. He's been with us ever since. And he was worth every 75% off penny. and then some.
