AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I'm so excited, y'all!!!! A few days ago I posted about being close-but-not-there-yet to my goal of saving enough HBD to pay for a keyboard. I based the amount off of what I had found way earlier in the year that I thought was the best deal I could get on a full-sized (88 key) keyboard. I didn't need it to have ten bajillion fancy functions, I just wanted it to be full piano size, get a sustaining pedal for it, be able to plug headphones into it so I don't drive my neighbors crazy, and hopefully be able to record onto my computer so I can share online when I play.
And I found one with MORE to it (including a carrying case, a stand, and headphones, in addition to a sustaining pedal) on Walmart's website (a site I don't normally check because I usually avoid Walmart) for $190. I was excited. I had enough for that!
And today, my three days wait to withdraw my HBD savings ends. So I looked again, and:
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo! ☹️😭
So I copied the exact text of the listing and searched it, and behold!!!!!
Even ten dollars cheaper!
MY KEYBOARD IS ORDERED!!!!!!! I'm so excited!!! This is literally a lifelong dream to own one of these! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
So did I hit 275 HBD? No. But I didn't need it! My real goal was getting a keyboard, so ...goal reached!!! :D
So to the Saturday Savers Club, thank you so much for helping me reach all of my goals this year!!!!! Just in time! 😃
Goal #1: 200 EDS - complete!
Goal #2: PUM badge - complete!
Goal #3: Piano keyboard - complete!!!!
I'm so happy! :D
Edited to add: I didn't realize I was posting under FaerieStories, lol. This is PhoenixWren, if y'all are confused. :)
Awesome! Enjoy! I have been thinking of getting myself a keyboard, in the near future, even though I never really learned to play the piano ( we had one at home, as I grew up, though ). I also play(ed) a string instrument ( guitar ) and know how to read sheet music, so I'll find my way around the thing.
But first, I plan to get better and better with the ukulele :<)
I had always wondered if I might be able to play a ukulele. One of the problems I've always had with guitar is my wee hands are kinda too small to manage the fret board. I can barely, kind of, do it, but not easily or without flubbing it sometimes. It's like yoga for my hands with the stretching, lol.
You actually still need pretty big hands for a ukulele. The instrument might be smaller the fretboard is actually pretty spacious. It sure is yoga for the hands ;<)
Ah, damn. That's okay, I have my keyboard now. :D
That's awesome too! Is it a mini keyboard? ;^)
No, it is full size, 88 keys. :)
Fantastic news!!! Woo-hoo!!!
Happy dance! :D
Wow, that is awesome! 🍹
I'm sorry I'm so late to this particular party - but glad to join in now (I've just finished work for this year, so I can happily indulge in celebrating 😁)!
I am so pleased for you, you've achieved all your Saturday Savers goals and a lifetime goal. Fabulous ... the power of saving! 😍
