Haven't posted in eons
Hey there! I actually have time to post something ...
Let's see ... Maybe I'll just make a list.
1. Scored tickets to see The Police in July! Am way excited. I've seen them twice before. Once in 1979 at the Tomorrowland Theater (now Cosmic Ray's Cafe) at the Magic Kingdom. Roxanne was their hit, and they were great! I saw some other bands there that night, but I only remember them. I also saw them in Atlanta in 1983. We paid $5 the day before the show to sit behind the stage. It's the show that they recorded for their live Synchronicity album (at the time). That was very cool. So when I heard they were actually making a stop in Tampa ... I put the time in my PDA and sat by the computer until tickets went on sale via ticketmaster. Soooooooo much easier than going down to the box office and waiting in a line.
The last time I stood in line for concert tickets was to see Steely Dan in 1993 in Phoenix, Arizona, outside in July, while I was 8 months pregnant. It wasn't that bad, but I like buying via internet nuch better.
2. Going to Orlando this weekend. Kids spring break is next week and we're taking Monday and Tuesday off. We're doing all those touristy things off of International Drive. We'll Do Sea World as well, and maybe one of the Disney water parks. Does anyone have an opinion as to whther Blizzard Beach, Typhone Lagoon, or Wet and Wild is better. We're staying at a condo hotel with 2 bedrooms and three TVs for less than one of our usual hotels cost, and much less than what we'd pay for similar accomadations inside the world. Should be fun and it's not even supposed to rain!
3. I was revamping our program's MSAccess Database, and IT WORKS! YAY! Does happy dance. See when I started this job I had never used Access. Since starting I have taught myself lots about it, but mainly through the help function and trial and error. It's been all right, but am still mystified by comboboxes. If anyone has a clue about them let me know ... Still, I figured out a work around and it works!!!! YAY!
4. I'm up to running for three songs on my 2 mile/30 minute run/walk excersise thing. I'm quite enjoying my mp3 player (a sandisk) except when it has a mental breakdown and repeatedly restarts songs. It started doing that Tuesday morning, so I (in a fit of anger at it) threw it to the concrete. It's been behaving itself ever since. Just needed to show it who's boss and bash it's little brain around. On that note thanks to one of madlori's fans who directed me to mixmeister BPM analyzer. I have now organized my mp3 collection into warm up, walking, running, and cool down songs. One more thing. Does anyone know how to correct a song that stops and starts in the wrong places. I have an old Billy Joel CD that, when loaded into the MP3, starts midsong and goes to the next mid song. Hmmmmm ....
5. Haven't lost an ounce and I think I need to get my thyroid levels checked. How can I eat 1500 calories a day, excersise 5 times a week and not lose a single pound. I did this for two months, and have since given up. I still eat less than 2000 calories and excersise 3-4 times a week. I haven't lost, but I haven't gained ... sigh....
6. One of these days I must find something to read. I haven't read anything since November. I haven't written anything in a year. Urgh.
All righty, gotta go clean up the kitchen, help with the homework, inspire trumpet practice, etc., etc., etc.
I've been enjoying everyone elses life as I read about it. I'll try to pop in more often.
