I haven’t posted anything to my music page in a while! I have been recording (especially since I got Logic Express) and may finish more eventually. I just haven’t been really happy with what I’ve made or haven’t finished songs completely - lots of ideas but then didn’t see them through.
I will post several now from the past several months that I’ve recorded. The usual disclaimer applies about not being totally finished and not that good in the first place, blah blah blah. I’m not very confident about my work
Another reason I haven’t posted recently is I had designs on a collection of tunes - an album of sorts - that I could make a CD of and sell on this site. Good idea or bad?
This morning i had fun visiting at Grammy’s (my mom). Three of my nieces and nephews where there and they are always lots of fun. Matthew and I set out to make some “fairy houses” in the woods near the house. We made 3 homes as well as a community soccer field good times. I used to make little houses that I called “Miss Suzy’s house” based on the book by Miriam Young. Authors Barry and Tracy Kane have made these little houses popular with their “Fairy Houses” books. They are fun. I did 2 lessons at school this year where we went out and made these houses - it was a hit!
Yipee! School vacation is here. Ben and I have been having fun playing lots of volleyball, watching movies, biking, reading, and here’s my little photo collage of some of the things I’ve been up to!
Today’s rant is about cell phone companies. A couple of things I can’t stand about them:
1) Commitments. “I’m sorry sir, but you can’t shop at the other grocery store because you signed a two-year contract with us!” Imagine if every business worked like this! We wouldn’t take it. But cell phone companies seem to make us unwillingly loyal. Any company that makes me sign a contract to stay with them immediately loses my business once the contract is up.
2) Bad customer service. Hold for five minutes, then speak with someone who barely speaks your language? I especially hate the myriad of menus that they make you speak through.
3) Expensive services. I’m cheap. The lowest price plan I was able to find for Jill and I was over sixty dollars a month. Ick. What about some basic plans for the rest of us?
I’m sure there’s more, but that will do for now. I did find this site today, which professes to have cheap cell phone plans and services - we could cut our bill almost in half with them. And no commitments! Once my contract is up, I will seek them out post haste.
Finally, the weather has been very very hot lately. Here’s a picture of a couple days ago:
"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him." -Jesus
