10:13am:
I have a headache today... it makes me feel blah. No perkiness here.
I have a LOT of work to do today. Despite that, I am writing. Maybe this will help keep me organized... finish 5 accounts, write a paragraph!
Oh, I have a new picture blog...http://opiccolo.blogspot.com. Check it out! I'm playing around with pictures, trying to be all professional LOL. It's nowhere NEAR being professional, but it's as close as I'll get without taking classes, which I do want to do sometime in the future. My pictures could be so much better! But, go anyway! I have the pics, I may as well have the ridicule as well!
12:00pm:
Ok, more like 20 accounts.
I have lately been getting into independent music. There's a rock song I heard called "Restless" by the band, Waking (I think that's what the guy on the podcast said). I can't find it on iTunes since it's indy, so I have been looking for it ever since. I might check out www.cdbaby.com and see if they've put their stuff out there. I've never used it, but I've heard it is a good place to find a lot of indy bands. Another one I want to get for sure is a girl named Charlotte Martin. I know for sure she's on cdbaby. Woo-hoo! I might also look at a UK band called Public Symphony (the song I like is called Stronger, I think).
This one isn't indy, but I love them: Fort Minor. One of the guys is from Linkin Park, one of Josh's favorite bands. My favorite song by Fort Minor so far is "Petrified", which I DID find on iTunes. I'd be interested in getting their album.
Speaking of which, when did a record album stop being a record album? Kids refer to an album as a CD. Was an record album always just a record? Is there an unspoken rule that you must refer to a group of songs by the media on which it's recorded? I said record or record album even when cassette tapes were popular. I never remember saying "Hey, I need to go out and buy the new Sesame Street Fever (forgive me, it was one of my first full-size records) 8-track. I always remember saying record! The last time I said it, I got a funny look from the nearest tweenager (my niece, I think). Lord help me... I'm going cross-eyed.
1:50pm:
Post lunch... I had some fabulous chicken fettucine alfredo from Paisano's Pizzeria. This is the 3rd time I have ever eaten there and I've had that every time. Yummy in my tummy. Off to put the finishing touches on those previous accounts.
I'm now listening to a podcast about the Mothman sightings in Point Pleasant (NJ, I think?). What I didn't know is how much of the movie Mothman Prophecies is actually real. It makes me want to research it more.
3:21pm:
No more time to write. Later!

My new addiction... and other things
I have recently discovered podcasts.
Help me.
About two weeks ago, I started listening to one simple podcast, and my subscriptions have bloomed to 11.
Here's what I listen to and why:
This is how I treat my ears during work hours.
My poor ears...
Lucy's first birthday was yesterday! We called her the birthday baby all day. I wonder if her head growth will ever catch up to her body growth. It makes me wonder if we did something wrong. Who knows? Maybe cats aren't considered full-grown at 1 year old anymore. Either way, she had a good day. She even groomed and got groomed by big brother Macy.
Josh and I had an actual sit-down breakfast yesterday. What a unique concept! We've promised ourselves that even if we eat frozen dinners, we're going to do that at least once a week, which is saying something considering how little we are together during a week... really only Friday night, all Saturday and Sunday afternoon. That's only 5 possibilities. :)
I have come to the realization that I MUST CLEAN MY BALCONY. It is pathetically dirty. I looked up from the ground at our balcony and realized that other people could see how bad it is. However, cleaning up the balcony requires also cleaning the dang storage room.
Oh well... this is an hour old and I'm bored of writing... later~
Help me.
About two weeks ago, I started listening to one simple podcast, and my subscriptions have bloomed to 11.
Here's what I listen to and why:
- MuggleCast: Harry Potter theories, book chapter reviews, sometimes interviews.
- PotterCast: same reason but MuggleCast is better.
- Bob & Sheri: a talk radio station that I never get to hear anymore and am thoroughly enjoying.
- History 5: European Civilization: Berkeley College's (I think) class - the professor stutters SO much though, that I can hardly stand to listen to it. I guess you have to appreciate him in context.
- Irish & Celtic Music: LOVE IT - self-explanatory... I'll definitely keep this one.
- Meditation Station: some good calm music to end your day or just de-stress you during lunch.
- Paranormal Podcast: that's what I'm listening to now... I'm still deciding on it (I'm catching up), but it's mainly interviews and discussions on different paranormal topics... crop circles, premonitions, poltergeists, hauntings, psychics, etc.
- Rent: my most recent new Broadway find... I have just discovered that I LOVE the musical Rent. This one is not so involved, as it is so far only 4 episodes. If you like actor/singer interviews, you'll like this as well.
- Learn Italian: Yeah, I thought I might listen to this one and figure out how to ask where bathrooms are in Italy... since I am going (not).
- French for beginners: same reason
- Insta Spanish Lessons: brushing up on my old school Spanish lessons.
This is how I treat my ears during work hours.

Burned again
I am a fan of the "next blog" button. The main time I do this, though, is during lunch at my work desk. The last time I went button crazy, I got burned and was afraid someone saw the OBSCENE picture that loaded. Lesson temporarily learned, changed options to show no images until I became brazen again.
Lesson permanently learned today... I know of one underage person who reads this site, so I'll refrain from posting what I stumbled upon today, but suffice to say it was upper female anatomy decorated into a FACE.
Strange things on the world wide web... at home, I would have cracked up. At work, I was mortified.
As such, here are some picture safe blogs I found today.

Neato fact of the day
Today, at two minutes and three seconds after
1 o’clock, the time and date will be 01:02:03, 04/05/06.
That combination won't occur again... well, in this millennium, at least!
Run home and tell your Momma that!

Questionnaire
I got this one from a blog I lurk... http://valkyriegrl.blogspot.com
Questions
Here's a couple of meaningless, random questions off the top of my head for you to answer!
Enjoy!-
If you could have 5 or more children, adopted or biological, would you?
Really, really think about it.

-If you had the chance to somehow see accurately into the future, would you want to?
-Absolutely not
-What do you want done with your ashes?
-Want to be buried, not cremated
-If you could go back in time and spend as much time as you want in the past, which era would you visit?
-I wouldn't... I fully enjoy the benefits of living in the time I do.
-Would you want to be famous?
-No
-If you could change one thing about your personality, what would it be?
-Not sure
-Which is worse, virus or bacteria?
-Virus
-What would be the first thing you'd do if you won a million or more in the lottery?
-Get a house, have children (I plan to do it anyway, but I wouldn't wait)
-In your city, where is your favourite spot (park, street, trail)?
-Cleveland Park, Reedy River
-What has been the happiest time in your life up until this point?
-My wedding day
-If you could live forever without aging a day past your current age, would you want to?
-Probably not - I want to experience it all.
-If you could choose an age to be frozen at, which age would you pick?
-The year before I start falling apart.
-What's the best way to spend a Saturday night, in your opinion?
-Just being with my husband
-If you had a(nother)baby right now, what would you name him/her?
-As said in a previous post, I'll tell that when I'm pregnant.
-Do you have any regrets so far?
-Only one, but I wouldn't have met my husband, so in hindsight, it's not a regret.
-Do you believe in ghosts?
-Still thinking about it
