Heard tonight on the Grammy’s by their President:
Let’s all pledge that 10 years from now, when we look back, we can say that this was the decade when every child received the benefit of music and the arts education in our public schools.
I might just say that every night before I got to bed. AMEN!!
It’s 10 am and I’m still in my pajamas. But I got home and to bed fairly late last night (or early this morning) after celebrating Crystal’s birthday and making sure people got home okay (then picking up a little snack). Fun was had by all and there was NO DRAMA!!! YAY!!!! So, I’m going to write my Sunday To Do Blog while still in my PJs. 🙂
I’ve got a hand full of To Dos today and if I post and cross them off here, I think it might keep me accountable to get it done. We’ll see. Here’s my list:
Sunday’s To Dos:
That’s not too many things, especially because the dishwasher is running right now. My girlfriends & I decided to take up a Groupon offer that came in for Bollywood dance lessons so for the next 4 weeks, we’ll be learning a new dance style. I’m really excited. Too bad next year’s show won’t incorporate any world music. Alright, on to a little breakfast and the to do list! Happy Sunday!!
————UPDATE————
Clipford decided to air dry after getting his bath and being toweled off a bit. He spins SO FAST!!!
————UPDATE————
So, I got everything done except prep my tax stuff. It’s all in one place (pretty much) but my accountant sends me a worksheet thing each year that I just need to go through so it should be manageable tomorrow. I made a beef stew today, too so I guess that’s a good substitution. I’ll blog the recipe/process with pictures later. Now, I’m gonna enjoy the Grammy’s, shower and go to bed.
Okay, I’m gonna admit it – it’s 4pm and I’m still in my pajamas. There, I said it so guilt be gone! I actually don’t feel guilty at all about it, which is kinda odd. I tend to carry a lot of guilt. But that’s for another blog entry.
Most weekends, I wake up with at least a few things “to do” in mind or a band something to go to. Today, none of those things occurred. I let the dog out to go potty, made myself some breakfast and proceeded to just hang out the rest of the day. I’ve surfed the web, watched TV (both live & DVR’d stuff), played with the kitty and doggy. I keep thinking there’s something I should be working on but the thought only lasts about a moment before it passes.
Tonight, I’m going to join Crystal out and about for her birthday. Should be fun! I guess the only thing I wish I would have done today is drink more water.
Tomorrow, maybe I’ll get a few things done. MAYBE…
I have no idea what’s wrong today but my ability to focus worse than normal! This usually happens when I have a bit too much coffee but I haven’t had anymore than my daily amount (1 travel cup) so I have no idea. I can’t seem to finish a thought, much less a task without getting distracted by something else. My office desk has become a complete disaster and that certainly doesn’t help my brain try to find order. I’m certainly surprised I’ve been able to write even this much without feeling like “OMG, what about this other project I forgot I was working on…two days ago?”. Okay, I remember what project I need to finish next so I’m gonna do it before distraction hits again.
Dueces.

***update***
Just looked and saw that this is post #700. Cool.
It’s funny because when I’m driving along, or no where near a computer, I always think of things I want to blog about. Heck, I’m constantly blogging in my brain. Little snippets of those blogs show up on Twitter & Facebook updates. But there is so much more that I want to say but just don’t have the thoughts as I sit in front of the computer. They need to invent a way for me to voice blog while I drive. I guess I could podcast somehow with my digital recorder or something. Would you mind hearing my voice on a regular basis? I don’t know – I tend to yammer on when I talk. It’s easier to edit writing.
Speaking of technology, what’s a good software for FTP-ing stuff onto my online servers from my Mac? I so rarely pull out the Dell laptop these days, it would just be easier to be able to do that from here (my MacBook Pro). **UPDATE – I found this one on the Apple site. I hope it works well. I don’t see why not… **
In case you hadn’t seen or heard, I got a new dog. He’s a pretty cool little dude. His name is Clipford and he’s part Chihuahua, part Pomeranian. Someone told me they’re called Pom-Chis but I’ll just say the whole thing ’cause that just sounds silly. He’s 1 year, 4 months old and mostly potty trained. Or, maybe I should say that I’m mostly trained to make sure he keeps up his potty training. My friend Sarah R got forwarded an email about this family who was moving to Montana because dad got a job as a ranch hand. There are no inside pets allowed where they’re going to live so they decided to give their dogs away. I was fortunate enough to bring Clipford into my family. I’m reading a few of the Cesar Milan, Dog Whisperer books and trying to be good about being the Pack Leader consistently. I think I’m doing okay. Naomi came over today and I showed her a few of the things I’ve learned. She seemed impressed. 🙂 Clipford & Pfema seem to get along okay. They certainly don’t hate each other – YAY!
What else? Not dating anyone new, work is still busy but fun and I take on too many projects. Nothing new. My friends Stacy & Stephanie had their baby girls. The Montoya brothers are both officially back in Texas! I think I want to do some voice over work to make some extra money (yes, I know it’s still one more thing but this one might PAY) but I have no idea how to get started. I can’t wait for LOST to start back, either.
Naomi came over and she & I did plant some greens in the garden today. Romaine & Butterhead lettuce, spinach, broccoli, and bok choy were added to the garden boxes. I’ve also added a satsuma tree to the backyard. We didn’t take any pictures yet but I’m sure there will be some soon, as well as yummy dishes and little oranges. The peach tree is starting to show flower buds so maybe some peaches will be available sometime as well. Gardening is so good for the soul!
Well, I think that’s about it for now. I’ll brain blog & drive more and hopefully, some of it will show up here.
Love you, mean it!
