Musically Wireless

Well mothers day went all to hell fast.
Shortly after saying I was going to work; my head
made other plans. So I spent the day with a migraine
from hell. In bed. Not even my new nightgown comforted
me LOL … by evening I was better with good drugs.
So we ordered Pizza…Then Kate called at 10 to say
she was going to be very late. We ended up opening
our presents from her, without her here so that Jan
could get to bed. It was almost midnight before
Kate got home.

But there was good in the day…
The children bought us this amazing toy!

Now the best part is that those speakers,
as you can see, are portable.
Each has a volume and off button on them.
They each have two speakers in them for stereo sound.
Which means, when I want to go elsewhere and have music,
I can just grab one and go. The other speaker, where ever
it is based, can be turned off so that people in that room
don’t have to listen to my tunes. Seriously don’t ya just love
technology?

Prior to this amazing machine, in order to listen to music
in the shower or bedroom we had to unplug and move our
upstairs boom box/cd player to each room. I have a stereo
in the living room and also a nice boom box in my studio.
I am spoiled with options now. Jan will enjoy this gift as well.

But I sort of feel bad as it is really geared toward my likes.
They spent too much on the item above and also two
brookstone beach chairs for our vacations. Problem is, they
are pretty big and we have small cars. I think I will broach
the subject of taking those back and finding something
that Jan would love with them. Lord knows she needs a
new ceiling illuminated alarm clock she can operate!
LOL. I don’t know, we will see.

In the mean time. I am in hog heaven with this system.
It is going downstairs with me today. The cool thing is,
anyone can pop their ipod into it and use it too.
No more changing cd’s every half hour downstairs!!!
Shuffle baby, just shuffle all day!!!

I need my George W money to get here before vacation
in June. For many reasons but also because I need a new
camera! My digital camera, the 7 year old dinosaur it is
will not connect to any computer we have now.
I use the memory card from it in my computer’s card reader but
it doesn’t hold much and the laptop I will bring with me has
no card reader. To keep from buying film, I just want to
buy a new camera. They are relatively inexpensive and I
can still use the one I have for work use as I have been.

So I am bummed about Survivor. I wanted someone
else to win. I hesitate to put the winner here, don’t want
to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t watched their DVR’s of it.
But it sucked. James did win fan favorite and walked away
with 100 thou. I am thrilled about that. But the true mastermind
of the women’s “take no prisoners” ploys were my favorites doing.

And was Natalie about to seduce Parvorti at tribal and do her on
the council floor or what? It was odd watching it, even for me.
I kept thinking Jeff was going to tell us they were a couple.
I believe Nat wants to be! It was such a lesbian final LOL

(does anyone like “The Mole”? Well it is coming back!
Not with Anderson Cooper, he is busy elsewhere.)

Sent G a mother’s day wish email.
would love to get to know her some before we go there.
Laura is well, heard from her yesterday… I asked if she knew
my children’s names. Meaning have you listened…she did.
Which is more than even I can manage some days.
But a point was made and we talked it through.
She pulls away for her reasons and I, mine.
I am impatient, emotional and an ass most days.
But those around me love me anyway.
We continue to learn each other again.
hmmm.

Ha! John Paul just walked in here with one of
the speakers… too funny! They are good kids!
Bab’s and Frank singing “I have got a crush on you”
as he walks… (this rocker son of mine)
I am dying laughing at him!

Got to go get my speaker back, he ran off with it!

edit:
I forgot, obviously, by this gift, John Paul has found
out that I “stole” his unused iPod and is more than
fine with it!
