Music To My Ears!

What I wanna know is what is music to YOUR ears?

In need of new music/new groups/new toonz...give me something to fall in love with, ok?

What are the top 5 new  or new-to-you songs that you are currently smitten with and play and play and play on your iPod. Or Zune. Whatever.

Ready, Set, Go!

Very cheesy, yet very sweet!

This makes me smile :-)

Thanks Adam!

Orange, Meet Blue

New design in da house.

Weasel Time

Trying to weasel out of having to go back to the Mothership. In FL. In August.

Wish me luck.

[Wrote the above and after reading it several times, wanted to add the following]

My extreme reticence at returning to FL is not just about the location and the oppressively hot and humid month of August. I mean, it is, but it's more than that. 

FL is where my life crashed and burned. Most of my hugest life dissapointments happened there. FL is like spinach and cilantro and heights and hurricanes and sadness and tears all rolled into one hot sweaty steamy package. Yuck!

Also?? Being there means being away from J#2. And CO. And Denver. And my life as I love it. And where I am happy. And J#2. Did I mention that?

In the whole scope of things I know this is relatively minor and I really need to keep it in perspective. And J#2 is being very gracious and understanding and all which is what they excel at.

Stiil. Keep your fingers crossed they let me do all this training I **need** to do over the phone. Cause between you and me? I've had the training already. When I joined J#2. But since J#1 does not know I have J#2, it's not like I can really tell J#1.

Gee...aren't you happy I clarified everything?

:-)

Do You See What I See?

My blog is acting wonky so may I ask for your help?

Could you please tell me what you see on my blog? Is the design green on the sides and burnt orange at the top? Or dark green on all 4 sides? Can you see my blogroll on the right hand side or do you see it alllll the way at the bottom? OR? Do you see it on the side when you look at an individual entry and not when you view from the home page?? And are you viewing my blog in Safari, Firefox, IE or another browser?? Anything else design-wise that seems out of wack?

I have a couple of help tickets into Typepad and your answers will help big time!

Hugs and Kisses and Thanks!

(UPDATE - 1:50 pm MDT - Design should be back to all green borders with no burnt orange. Blogroll now appears to the right. Thanks for your feedback!)

Stuff

In no particular order of importance...

So hey...what's up?  Had a super fun night last night that will be blogged about soon. But for now?  Just random thoughts that are really neither here nor there.

I used to be all 'TGIF' and woohoo for every Friday cause I wanted the weekend to be here so I could relax from Job #1. Now? I'm still all woohoo for 'TGIF', but now it's cause I'm jazzed to work 8 hrs on Sat and Sun at J#2.

Seeing a Vertigo/Dizziness Specialist in several weeks. My dizziness has gotten worse to where freeway driving is done only when absolutely necessary. I am fine at driving surface streets morning and night...dizziness then is minimal if at all. And if the freeway is stop and go, I'm fine. But anything over 40 mph is tough and let's not even think about E470. It's also become problematic at J#2 due to the nature of what I do, but in true J#2 form, they are awesome and wonderful and kind and understanding and I just love them all to death and more cause they are that beyond fantastic. OK, gush session over.

Sometimes I want to express opinions but I don't, thinking my friends will think I am talking about them even when I am not. So I stay silent. Maybe it's for the best.

The more I see and experience, the more I believe we are here on purpose and what happens to us happens for a reason. And if we are analytical and aware enough, we may even figure out the 'what or why'. Or not.

With the intent of getting back into working out, I bought a new pair of Nike's. First new pair of workout shoes since Aug 2001. And all I've done is worn them to work..as opposed to working out. Lately, I'm all 'why bother'. Why bother losing weight. Why bother working out. What's so great about being a single digit size? Does it guarantee happiness? (nope) Does it bring you extra money (nope) I guess I don't have a strong enough 'why should I'. And until I do, I probably won't.

Paid $76 to fill up my truck today. Most I've ever spent.

Saturday is 4 months to the day that my sister-in-law Michele passed away...or was killed. Final autopsy came back and there are enough discrepancies in the report that my brother feels his wife was killed by subpar care...which makes her death even sadder.

I've been missing Michele so much lately. Everytime I see a little bunny in the front yard I think of her. Michele loved bunnies...just loved them beyond words. She was buried with 3 stuffed bunnies...one from me, my sister Diane and my sister Kelly. My bunny was a Colorado Cottontail. I've started calling Michele's cell phone just to hear her voice. I'm so glad my brother has kept her cell active. I want her to pick up the phone and talk to me when I call, but it's just not gonna happen. Stil, it's nice to hear her voice.

Lesson Learned

While it might SOUND like a good idea, watching Dane Cook on You Tube while trying to talk to clients is, in fact, not a good idea.  Lesson learned.

Lucky

Tonite on my way home from work I encountered a vehicle that had no use for rules. Like speed limit rules. Tailgating rules. Driving while not intoxicated rules.

Luckily I saw him in my rear view mirror seconds before impact so I had a chance to move out of the way. Barely. He then blasted past me as he veered all over the road.

Thanks idiot drunk driver. You were about an inch away from maiming or killing me. 

Calling it a night and thanking my lucky stars, good karma, guardian angel and anyone else that wants to take credit.

nnsd.

Orange Ya Glad?

Have never really been a fan of orange. However, due to recent changes beyond my control, I am learning to like orange quite a bit. Not at the lovin' orange stage yet...that may take awhile.

This website that deals with orange?  This I do LOVE.
