Not Much to Say

Can you believe that? Just give me a minute, I'll think of something. I felt the need to blog. I don't always have time, but sometimes I have to make time. This is my therapy. I'm one of those people that has to talk it out. Then I beat it to death. I just have to blab about it for days. But this helps alot. Without my blog, I might have lost my mind. Yeah, yeah, I know. Not much of a loss, ha, ha. Talk to the hand.

Most of the songs on my iPod are older. I've been listening to Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner". "You" by Candlebox got me to Las Vegas when I moved out there. The only part of that time that I regret is not liking my boss. She made my job miserable, but I loved almost everybody else I worked with. "It's Tricky" and "Christmas in Hollis" by Run-DMC are both in there. Big Head Todd is an amzing band that I got turned onto when I lived in Austin. One of the salesmen that I worked with was very into the music scene and always knew who the great up and coming bands were. And he wasn't ever wrong.

But I have some stuff that's even older. I have some Charlie Daniels, Marshall Tucker, and The Doobie Brothers. You have to love a band called The Doobie brothers. But I also have House of Pain, "Jump Around", and George Michael, "Freedom '90". That song is really great if you are hauling ass down a dark, foggy back road at about 75. It just has a really good riding beat.

I'm thinking about doing a little summer school with the kids. We need some basic Spanish before we start our curriculum. And I really want the kids to learn how to type. I do too actually. It would be nice not to have to correct my "the"s every time. I almost always type teh. Pain in my ass. But I don't really want to do summer school. I like having the break. They like having the break. We all like the break. I may use the typing as an extra next year. Or I may use it as something fun they can do this summer if they want to. I have a friend that will loan me her typing program. And they don't have to do it every day. But the Spanish may be harder. I may just wait until we start school. We don't have to start the computer program right as we start school. See, I told you I had to work it out.

I want to be a Pussy Cat Doll when I grow up. Any of them, really, but Nicole Scherzinger, specifically. She's the lead singer and she's from Hawaii. Can you tell with all that tan skin? I would love to have their bodies, but I don't like all the work it takes to get there and maintain. And I can't sing. But I'm a helluva dancer.

I am waiting expectantly for my curriculum to come in. I have two orders coming and it's like waiting for Christmas. I just want it to hurry and get here. I have been listening every time I hear a big vehicle. I'm not sure if it's coming UPS or USPS. It just needs to get here.

Hubby got a Jack LaLane juicer. He is very into juicing and came across the commercial one day. He had to have it. He has a juicer, but it doesn't quite work the right way anymore for some reason. When we got our taxes back, that's what hubby got to buy. And now that we are getting organic produce, it's even better. It came yesterday and he hasn't has a chance to use it yet. But I go Thursday to pick up fruits and veggies. He'll definitely make time then.

We had talked about getting goats. We have room for about four. But they don't do well where we live because of the climate. They need a rockier terrain and somewhere not so humid. Out of luck there as we live on a belt of sand that runs through our state, and more specifically, our back yard. Makes it damn hard to have a garden, let me tell you. You have to add soil, and nutrients, and I don't know what to get anything to grow.

We have settled on chickens. We need to do the research, make sure we have room for them , can take care of them, which birds are best for what purpose, that kind of thing. But we have set a time limit to have it done by. We would like to have them by the end of the summer if we can. The sooner the better.

That's about all the rambling I'm gonna do for now. Thanks for listening. And thanks for letting me clear out some room in my over crowded brain.
