How was your weekend

by

It’s the end of a long weekend here in Canada and all around neighborhood I can hear people letting off Fireworks for Victoria Day. It’s driving my dog nuts! Try telling an excited Lab that all those noises are normal. Uh huh.

On Saturday the weather was really nice so my husband and I ran around and got a few things done and did some work outside the house, however the weather wasn’t so nice on Sunday or today so we ended up being stuck indoors most of the time. We did try to get outside for a bit earlier today but it suddenly got windy and the roses that we were working near started whipping into us and injuring us. I guess we can’t win! LOL

There wasn’t even anything good on TV on the weekend. For some reason a couple of the channels that I like to watch during non-holidays love to run reruns of old shows over and over again – just one show – no variety for a whole day or even a whole weekend on a long weekend .. so if you’re stuck at home and there isn’t much on TV it can be bad. I think one of the shows had something about a Texas truck accident lawyer I sort of fell asleep at that point. Yep .. exciting long weekend for me – huh.

I guess we would have been out doing more interesting things but I feel down the stairs last week and really hurt myself. I bruised my lower back, my left buttock, my left leg and left arm and my neck and even my jaw hurt – after a week. So I’m not in very good shape. I think it will take me about another two weeks to get over that fall.

How was your weekend? Better than mine I hope!





Trying to digitize our old records

by

Earlier today my husband and I were out shopping. We went out stores like Best Buy and Future shop in the hopes of finding cables and software that would help us connect our turntable to our computer so that we can start to record our old records and digitize the music.

We didn’t find much that would help us though. Just a lot of software and items to promote your business rather than audio software. I think we’re going to have to do our shopping online for this specialty item. I know it’s something we can do … we just need to have the right RCA hook ups and software.

Have you ever attached an old turntable to your computer in order digitize old records? If so .. what equipment and software did you use to do that?

Planning an Easter Party

by

This year seems to just be flying by! It wasn’t until I was in a store last weekend, hurrying along to get my shopping done, when I noticed that the store had Easter candy and Easter related decorations at the end of their aisles – ready for sale.

The next store I went into had their Easter goodies out too. I guess the end of February was the weekend to get all the things out for the next big holiday.

I didn’t realize how few weeks there are until Easter! My sister in law and I are having a party for my niece and her friends for Easter so we’d better get working on planning the party. I was actually just browsing Personal Creations – Easter baskets ideas for kids and I think if I spend some time on that site I’ll have our little Easter party put together in no time at all.

Are you doing anything for Easter? Do you have any kids to celebrate Easter with? I love decorating eggs and setting the kids off on an egg hunt. It’s so much fun.

What am I going to do with my crazy dog?

by

OMG my dog is driving me crazy today! We just went outside with her an hour ago where she frolicked in the backyard making what I call “doggy snow angels” by rolling in the snow and of course relieving herself and now .. well … now she’s at the front door ringing the bell we having hang there asking to go out every five minutes.

Trouble is … I don’t believe she really has to go out. I was just up looking out the front window and my dog is such a smarty pants that now she probably thinks that I’m watching for someone to either come and visit or come and deliver something so she wants me to open the front door so that she can see out too. LOL Uh huh … she doesn’t really want to go outside, she just wants to see outside or to see whatever I’m looking at.

It always seems like my dog clues into what’s going on. I got out the video camera earlier and tried to video tape her doing her crazy jumping up and down when she wants me to slide her bone across the floor at her and of course she started acting up and barking like crazy which she normally doesn’t do … so that video tape which has some excellent jumping will have to have the audio removed! Crazy dog!

Speaking of crazy! I saw this guy earlier today when I was out shopping that was just covered in tattoos from the top of his head to well .. I think probably to his feet. I’d bet that even the best tattoo removal cream wouldn’t put a dent in his tattoos. LOL It looked amazing though! Not my taste of course.

So do you have a crazy dog that acts up when he or she sees you looking outside or sees you with a camera in your hand?

My husband might be giving guitar lessons soon

by

My husband is a musician … well I guess you could say he’s a part time musician as he doesn’t play music for a living although he would if he could.

He’s been playing guitar since he was nine years old and along the way he learned how to play 13 other instruments. He’s quite accomplished.

Now he’d like to at least start teaching others how to play guitar and possibly other instruments. I guess he’d do this from home. We’re just starting to look into how to set this up as a part time business. I mean we could advertise online or send out direct mail marketing or just start out small by posting some flyers on the bulletin boards at the hospital where my husband works.

Of course we’ll have to see if there are enough people interested in taking lessons and if the times that they want lessons fit with my husbands schedule etc. Hopefully everything works out. It would be a great way to make a little extra money, plus my husband just loves playing guitar so it will get him playing regularly again.
