iPod

Wow...I finally got myself an iPod. It is the best thing I have ever bought. Also, My family got a Hot Tub! It is very nice. Very relaxing. It is all set up and running now too. We got it on Friday...and we used it for the first time Saturday morning. Happy Mothers Day! We spent most of the day in and out of the tub...with liqueur. Hizzah for the hot tub...

But back to my iPod. I got an iPod video...80 gig...black! It's really nice. I love it. I get to listen to music in my car now...cuz I blew all the fuses in my car and fried my stereo...so for a while I have been music-less...and going CRAZY... Road noise SUCKS!!! But...now I have my own stereo... It also means I can listen to music at work... I mean I could before...I would listen to the radio on my computer over the Internet...but when I was out on the floor...I couldn't...and the boys in the warehouse listened to country...and christian stuff... Which is sooo not my cup of tea.

Well...that's about all that's new in my life now... I've been really busy with work lately...working lots of overtime... And I'm thinking of getting a second job...just to fill my afternoons... But I haven't decided yet...

Spring has Sprung...

Finally, the grass is greening, and the trees are budding. The snow has melted and the air is warming. I am enjoying the first showings of spring. The smell of the rain, cool and crisp. The fresh scent of new groth, it reminds me of when I was a child, keeping catterpillars alive in jars, with holes poked in the lid. I love the rain. It seems to cleanse my soul, which is dark and heavy. I do not miss the snow... I do miss Carrie though. She was up here for a vacation, and a Bridal Shower...but I will see her soon. In August, for her wedding. I am so excited for her and Kyle... I am hoping to have a busy summer, with camping and new friends. Conventions and writing group. And of course, travel. I am happy for the spring, I have been awating these first fresh and crisp mornings like a child awaiting christmas morning. Now that it has arrived, I feel more alive. It's strange how one misses the rain. The gentle pattering of raindrops on the roof, the fresh smell of the rain, the cool refreshing showers that sprinkle ones face. So, Welcome Spring! Welcome Rain, you have been sorely missed.
