Was doing some research on conference call etiquette today when I ran across this tip that hit a little too close to home:CONFERENCE CALL ETIQUETTE #10: Don’t allow the topic to wander. Be polite but firm if people talk too long or over each other. If your callers are at home sitting in their pajamas nursing a hot chocolate, be considerate that all they want is to go to bed and would appreciate your rigorous time management. -Conference Call Etiquette - 15 Dos and Don’ts of Multi-Way Phone Conversations I do appreciate your rigorous time management…naptime…gotta go.

Have you heard? Music is free.

I (born 1982) grew up with music.  Music in the morning, music in the afternoon, music in the evening….Michael Jackson, Steely Dan, Annie Lennox, Paul Simon, Tom Petty, Queen… Our house didn’t have a working heating system, our kitchen was completely out dated, our cars were never new, but we always had a great sound system and hundreds and hundreds of CDs.  Dad (born 1944) has always kept up with the latest brilliant artist, he owned Dave Mathews and Beck before I ever knew who they were. In 2002 my mother and father went to a Cake concert.  Ok, so the point, the point is, CDs were $17 when I was a teen, I remember buying Ace of Base for $17! I want my money back.  Not that Ace of Base isn’t great #aplaceinmyheart, but Music is Free! I just went on Spotify and made a playlist, it includes all 5 albums by Ace of Base, including remixes and greatest hits, also I threw in all their songs in Karaoke versions, in case I want to re-live 1995 (singing alone in my bedroom). 

Incase you didn’t know Music is free (legally free), I’d like to enlighten you: 

spotify.com

Know what you want to hear?  Want to listen to what your friends are listening to?  Want to amass playlist after playlist of your favorites?  What Pintrest is for images, Spotify is for music.

It’s the age of free music…what are you listening to?

Conversational Snidbit

Aunt: We will use the potty when we put your bathing suit on at the pool.
Nephew (age 4): I don’t have a baby-suit!
Aunt: No a bathing suit, it’s the same thing as a swimsuit…or…swim-trunks…or a bikini.
Nephew: Haha zucchini. Pumpkin bread.
Aunty: No bi-kee-nee…nevermind.

Photo Finished

 

 

I may have put my camera, case and all, through the full cycle in a front loading washing machine.  Along with purple sheets, the orange Canon Digital Elph came out clean and wet through and through.  After drying the camera (and scratching the lens with a sharp tool while trying to hold a hairdryer and hold open the lens cover), my treasured companion of 2 years did not fully recover.  This camera was a birthday gift from my dad *sniff*.  Alas the warranty has ended, and with it an era.  Tough decisions ahead, wait for a new iPhone, purchase a new camera, both?

To tell you the truth…banging on a drum all day doesn’t sound like something I want to do either.
