It’s my Mom’s birthday today. The photographer extraordinare herself (wonder if my Daddio himself bought her an extra sd card for her fancy rebel?). Seriously I wish that I had her skills and patience, with regards to photography. I’ve always wanted a fancy SLR camera, but of course wouldn’t have the patience to fiddle with it to make it take the best. pictures. ever. She has so many photos back home at the house, framed and matted. She has even given them away as presents. It was a bit overwhelming to walk into my parents house back in Newfoundland and literally see the walls covered in photos, all taken by her.

There’s even a few embarrassing one’s of me modeling with head shots. My boyfriend said my skin used to be so smooth “back then” in 2001. C’mon! I’m not wrinkly now! I wish I could post some photos here to show you of the Newfoundland scenery and the wonderful macro flower shots she’s taken over the past little while with her new camera. But I don’t have any on this computer.

So, to finish this off — Happy Birthday Mom!! Enjoy your post–birthday bath treats that I gave you while I was home! Have a soak in the tub and enjoy your day. Hope you read this! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

I don’t know when I started listening to old music.

My parents never really played their own music in the house that I remember. Just the crappy AM (only!) radio station that I despised, especially when they played the Irish music on Sunday mornings when I took a bath (it was located in the bathroom of all places). I didn’t even know there was an FM notch on the radio until I was in middle school.  I remember when we were sitting in music class and overheard the other girls talk about New Kids On The Block. I literally thought that there were new kids on the block and going to attend our school. Lame! I didn’t let on that I didn’t have a clue what they were talking about either.

What brought this post on, was I was listening to the radio at work and one of my favorite songs by Louis Armstrong came on; What a Wonderful World. I remember when Napster was available in the 90’s and I downloaded a lot of music, my play list was so so diverse from Foo Fighters, Jack Johnson, Queens of The Stone Age, to Ella Fitzgerald and Billy Holiday. I disliked putting my music on random because like I said, it was such a different genre of music playing and just doesn’t go together. I always sorted my music out into play lists.

I should get back all my old music. I use three computers (one at work, a desktop at home plus a laptop) and also an external hard drive. I think the simplest thing to do would be put it all onthe external hard drive and listen to it all from there.
