I've been listening to old Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Conway Twitty, Merle Haggard, etc songs lately. It makes me happy to hear this old country music. It is all so simple and easy to listen to. Reminds me of Granny Erickson and Kate. Kate sings these songs at karaoke and Gran like this kinda music...i think. well, even if you don't gran, it reminds me of you anyway!

I'm all caught up at work and it feels good to not have that weighing on my shoulders. Now i can spend my time here at work looking for a new place to live. I think I'm going to see if i can find a nice condo or something close to downtown Mpls that i can rent. My roommate Jenna is putting her beloved house on the market soon. She's run into some tough times, and needs to get rid of it. We're both devastated about it. I don't want to move, but I don't want to own it...I wish i could. i suppose we'll see what i can come up with. uuugh.



Google is so awesome. i love it when i log on in the morning and see that they have some great design in place of their usual logo. Sometimes they are just so awesome, this one is really neat this morning. It reminds me of a sort of asian influences piece of work. I think because the red bird reminds me of a dragon. Even though i think it's supposed to be a Phoenix. Well, whatever it is. I like it.

Also, when was the last time you played with a Koosh ball? I have one at my desk right now. I bought it this weekend so that i'd have something to play with while i sat in boredom at my desk. we used to have these all over the house when i was a little girl. And the more i think about it, the more i am disgusted with the idea of them. They always got lint and hair wrapped around in them and pretty soon it was just time to throw it out. BUT not this one i have. I'll take good care of it. I'm excited. It's really big and has black, teal, pink, and yellow-orange colored rubber tubes in it. and they are just all mixed around together, there is not a color pattern like the kinds you see in the picture. Anyway...enough about it.
