Listen Up!

No-No is becoming such the little person already. She is really into all sorts of music and movies. She loves that she has something portable to watch and listen on and to go with that she got the cool kid's skullcandy headphones at FlyMode.com. I love how she's so many personalities in one kid. She's a princess, a tom boy, a mini me, a cool kid/socialite...it's fun to watch her grow up, so long as it's not too fast lol.

Cooooooold

I really wasn't sure what to expect when we moved here. Being that we're in the flats, I expected cold but certainly not what we have right now. Some days are really nice in the high 60s and some barely make it up to the 30s. I'm really glad that we bought some winter gear before we came out, just in case. The one thing I wasn't thinking of is gloves. No-No has one decent pair but if she loses those I'm not sure what we'll do since the ones sold are either heavy snow or flimsy light ones. I though about getting CozyWinters.com heated gloves for myself but I hardly go out lol. Next time I think I'll be slightly more prepared.

Blast from the Past

I've recently been in touch with a couple of people that I went to school with, waaay back lol. It's really interesting to see what everybody's become thus far. I never would have guessed that one would be a singer/performer in a band and the other would be a producer/artist. I love watching their conversations too. They are always talking about music, songs, and equipment. They had this awesomely long talk about all sorts of mixers and things, like the motu 828 mk3, and how they function. Apparently this one plugs into your computer and you can connect all of your equipment into it and it doesn't give any sort of feedback or background noise, then you can take it with you and use it as a stand-alone mixer with all sorts of effects too. I know nothing about this stuff but it's interesting to learn what things do that I don't know about. I would think that it's a pretty cool thing to have something so portable be so versatile because of all of the other equipment you have to haul along too. now I just have to see what these guys sound like lol.

Musically Inclined

My stepdaughter has really been into wishing for instruments lately. Her latest additions to her list have been a guitar and violin. We aren't really sure if we should spend the money and get professional quality instruments yet so I think we'll be going with toy ones for now. If she decides she really likes them then we'll see about getting her lessons. I'm sure she would really like guitar, I've always wanted to learn guitar but never had the opportunity. The only drawback would be that we would have to get two so No-No could have the same lol.

News!

I'm not really sure how to feel about it, even yet, but I'm pregnant! I've thought long and hard about having more kids, mainly because I already have one who's a teenager, and came to the conclusion that if I could possibly have one more, I would. It hasn't been easy to get pregnant except for my first one and I wasn't at all sure I could ever have another. Hopefully everything will go smoothly and we will be welcoming a new addition to the family later this year :)

Kids.

Yes-Yes has gotten well into music lately, which I'm rather surprised with since he's only listened to what's trendy up until now. He's also been looking at MP3 players and such because all of a sudden his iPod is old. Well, it kind of is but...that's beside the point lol. He told me he wants some Dr Dre Headphones because the sound better than a lot of the other things he's tried that his friends own. This stuff I know nothing about, I have my cheap earbuds and they seem to work fine for me! LOL

OUR FAVORITE BAND

Authored by Leandro Delgado

I visited www.direct.tv and uprgraded our television package. There was a concert that was playing in my home town ( two thousand miles away) and it was going to be televised. My husband and I had ticket to go to the concert, but he ended up not being able to get off of work, so we gave the tickets to my brother-in-law. It is actually our favorite band that was playing. My husband has seen them about forty times, and I have seen them about twenty five times. He started seeing them when he was in high school. The funny thing is, we aren’t even the band’s biggest fans. They actually have a really big following. They tour most of the year, even though they have been touring for the last twenty five years, that is most of my lifetime. Watching the concert on television was actually the best thing we could have done. We got to feel like we were sitting in the front row and got to drink beer that didn’t cost five dollars a piece!
