I actually won something!
In reality, James won me something. James has been entering us in the contest on Papa John's website trying to win a new Ford Mustang. Before getting too excited, I will let you know that I did not win the car. There is still much excitement- I get 50 free downloads on Musicmatch.
Here is the dilemma- I love music and when I hear things on the radio that are good, I think "I would like to have that song". When I get onto Musicmatch to find music- I can't think of anything! I think about CDs that I already have or things that I like but I know that there is other music that I like better out there.
What is a girl to do!?!
The correct answer is ask her blogger friends. What recommendations do you all have for what I should download? I don't like country and I hear enough "dirty south"/"gangsta" rap from the cars blaring it from the gas station across the street from us. Other than that, I am pretty open.
Thanks!
My office in a closet
I promise, I didn't disappear. My office has been uninhabitable. As some of you know, I am an apartment manager at a small complex. So small infact, the office is my apartment.
So, the other day I noticed that there was a funk coming out of the room but we thought maybe it was just lack of air circulating through there so I turned on the window air conditioner- that had almost no affect on the smell which became rank! Then I noticed that the carpet was getting wet and there was moisture under that plastic thing you put on the carpet so that your desk chair can roll, you know? Then my whole office smelled like amonia- trust me, that is NOT good.
We had to have the carpet people come and pull up the carpet and tear out the padding under there and have it dry out over a weekend and that meant that all of the furniture that we could carry had to be out of the office which included a desk and my chair. So I have been running my office out of a closet for over a week now. The carpet guys came back to put in new padding and spray it so that we can breath in our house again.
I missed you all so much. Go visit my husband's blog to hear about the awesome anniversary gift he had made for me!!
Weekend of Fireworks
I assume that all of you had a fun and safe 4th of July. I hope that there are no missing body parts or permanent ringing in ears. But if there are, please tell me all about it!
Did other cities (your city) do what Memphis did and have fireworks every weekend night? There were fireworks here on Saturday night, Sunday night and Monday night. If it were only up to me, we would have gone to every show we could fit in but it is not just up to me so instead we went to the best one (Saturday night).
On the actual 4th there was this big storm that came through. We went outside and watched as lightening lit up the sky, thunder rumbled, it rained really hard and the wind blew. God said "I'll show you REAL fireworks". Then we went out to our car and found that it was flooded inside. I had to take a cup and scoop out the water. The car is mostly dry now but it stinks like you wouldn't believe!!!
