I must be a queen because I got a throne for Christmas.  Really.  No, I did not get a new toilet, or even an outhouse from a loved one.  I got a new throne for my drum set.  The one that I had was small (for my child bearing hips) and I frequently would find myself nearly falling off of it.  My new one is a deluxe comfy model that is way cool.  And I got a gift certificate that I think I'm going to use for a new crash cymbal stand so now I will have two.  Double cool.  The noise will be deafening.  Now if I can just get rid of this sinus infection long enough so that I can start playing again.  Is this the same infection I had this summer when I first got the drums and had to wait to play them because every time I started to play I would hack uncontrollably?  I don't know, but it can go away any time, thank you.
