I Thought That My Blog Needed Some More Color

This is our little stretch of country in the city. And actually it is not even ours..the city of Tampa owns it. But to have those "woods" behind the house is sort of comforting. It reminds me of back home sort of.
I took this pic one afternoon while taking a walk with the kids back there. Walk is sort of pushing it...lol. It's not like up north where you could go out and walk forever. This is actually one of our routes to a friend's house from our house, a short-cut. OK, I am rambling and need to get back to those pictures...lol

>>>Sidenote...Here and Now-Letters to Cleo. Kick ass song!! I forgot how much I used to (and still really do) love this song! It is so catchy, bouncy, jump around the room happy, and I freakin' love that!!!<<<

Totally Digging This Band

Dollyrots

[via FoxyTunes / Dollyrots]

So I am once again sitting here listening to my own radio stations on Pandora, and I have it on The Joan Jett and the Blackhearts station. Totally love that as well...Joan Jett kicks ass!! I love tough females like her.

Ok so back to The Dollyrots. I am so seriously digging what I have been able to hear of them so far. I think that I have only heard maybe 3 of their songs so far, but with each one of them I found myself nodding my head like, "Hell Yeah!" And that is such a good thing for me. I love music that makes me feel something. Love, anger, sorrow, pain...Like you can totally feel it.

Here's another Dollyrots song playing now...And I love that kind of boppy, punky feeling to this band. Makes me want to pogo around the room and just let go, have fun. I love this kind of music!

>>>So at this moment I am taking a break from going thru all of the pics I have saved on this computer. I am organizing them all into more manageable folders..for example the kids each have their own folder and then I also have a folding for pics of the two of them together. I am really hoping that this system will be relatively easy to be able to find pics in the future. I had started out burning the pics onto cd's by just leaving everything in the folders that they originally were, but when I thought about it, it did not really make a lot of sense to do it that way. I usually have a certain person in mind when I am looking for a photo, so having them burned onto discs by name made more sense. I am also starting to feel like I could really get into making a slide show, complete with music and all that stuff. Maybe some sort of special effects...but since this would be a first time ever experience I am thinking that I should probably take it easy and not totally overwhelm myself like I tend to do most of the time. I think that is why the idea of making a slideshow in the past was really overwhelming. Just the number of pics on the computer was overwhelming. I am going to save some pics on the computer, but for the most part I will just save them on disc. I got really freaked out when there was the possibility of losing all my kids pics from the past 2 years or so. That is a lot of memories missing, and let me tell ya, that feeling really fuckin' sucks!! Anyhow...I have been wasted enough time...back to my pics.<<<

Another band I am really starting to dig is The Donnas. I have never really had the opportunity to listen to too many of their songs before Pandora. I tell you what...I so love that site. Whomever thought that concept up, I want to shake your hand man. You fuckin' rock!!! lol
