A day in the life....

Work this week is kicking my butt. I feel as if I am going through a revolving door continuously without a break. Everytime I turn around something else has changed. I'm not a huge fan of change. I don't shy away from it and truly I try to embrace it but that doesn't change the fact that I don't like it. To top it off, I can't seem to get any sleep. I don't know if there is so much going on in my life right now that I'm too worked up, but sleep is eluding me. I have been able to write quite a bit though. Which is a good thing. My book is coming along quite nicely. I'm so excited about that.
I'm getting Mimi (my yorkie poo) on October 5. She had her first set of shots yesterday. It didn't slow her down a bit. I have been working to get my house in order and I am anxiously awaiting her arrival. The people I am buying her from told me today that they are not only getting her used to the crate but they are also puppy litter training her. I am thrilled with this because this is what I am going to do. I have been reading 'housetraining for dummies' this week in preparation for my new arrival. When I get her I will post some more pictures.
I played Volleyball tonight. I really needed the workout. I loved every minute of the 3 hours I spent playing. I had a great deal of aggression I needed to release due to the horrendous traffic problems this afternoon. YUCK! I hate traffic. I am not sure what the problem was but it was miserable.
Life is good for me. Busy, but good. I hope all is well where ever you are! I am looking forward to my trip to San Diego in October. I really need the vacation.

The Amazing Techno World

So I joined myspace. Terri from my writing group encouraged all of us to join. I have had an amazing time playing around with it this weekend. I decided to check out the browse and found a 'bloke' in Austrailia to talk to. His profile caught my eye because it was so funny. Where it indicated music he said 'anything on my ipod. My 2nd ipod because some scummy people broke in and nicked my first one. As part of my faith I forgive you. But I would still like someone to drop a piano on your head. Accidentally. I would forgive them for doing it. In an instant. It's part of my faith.' He made me laugh so much that I sent him a message thanking him for the laugh. He responded. As we talked I learned a few things. Apparently several musicians use myspace to promote their music. He has several friends who belong to bands and he told me that if they are trying to get a gig they have to have a myspace page where people can hear their music. If you have a lot of 'hits' on your page and several people listen to your music then it indicates how popular you are and it is easier to get gigs. This is why he created his myspace page in the first place. We are now 'friends'. It is amazing to me that I can have a friend in Austrailia that I have never even met. Weird but cool at the same time.
