Catching Up

Happy Birthday Lisa!!

I would be remiss if I didn't share some of the good mail I've gotten recently. Lara (aka TX Girl) emailed me an itunes gift certificate a couple weeks ago after I got my iPod. That was such a thoughtful and generous surprise, but I didn't want to post it until I had spent it so that the coupon code wasn't on display for any ne'er do wells. So last Friday I finally spent it. It was so fun. I can see how messing around at the itunes music store can be totally addictive. I ended up making several mix cds out of playlists I created. So far I have a mellow acoustic-sounding favorites disc, a country favorites and an upbeat favorites disc. Thanks Lara!!

Landon and I also made a cd of his favorite songs. It's so cute, he's been keeping a list of songs he likes for about a month now, so since we finally have the technology and skills to get the songs he wanted we actually did it. We sat here at the computer and checked them off his list one by one until we had created his ultimate cd. We even cashed in all the cereal box coupons for free itunes songs as well (which was most satisfying).

Kristi sent me a note on this cute personalized stationery (Whitney brought in the mail on Friday and had dropped the envelope on the rocks at the end of our driveway so I didn't discover this until much later when I happened to look out the window and see the envelope on the ground, phew that was a close call.) Kristi included her new "business" card and refrigerator magnet that she got from Vista Print. They are painfully cute. I've never felt the need to have personal business cards, but these are so cute I think I just might need some. Check out the link to her blog with the info here.

In other news, it appears we're actually getting an overcast day around here and I could not be happier about that. It's silly to complain about clear summer days, but really isn't a little balance a good thing, even if it's the weather? I think so.

**What sorts of playlists do you make?
Do this make you hark back fondly to the days
of making mix tapes in your bedroom or is that just me?**
