I'm laughing at the different types of music that I've listened to today while working.

The Carpenters: Love Songs

Dee-Lite: World Clique

Green Day: Dookie

Well, at least you can't say that I'm not diverse!

...and have I mentioned how much I'm loving iTunes?

All of our CDs are boxed up and in storage for a few weeks. Luckily, all of our music has been ripped onto our computers! LOVE technology! :)

Is anyone else out there getting LOADS of SPAM in their inbox today? Actually, it looks like a virus has hit, but I haven't read anything about it yet. Dick's computer hasn't received any bad mail today, which I suppose is good, since he's on a PC. Crazy. Hope it stops soon. I got around 100 emails today related to some virus thingy. I have my Norton Anti-Virus on, so lets hope it's doing it's job. One good thing about the Mac. Do any hackers out there really think it's worth putting a virus out there to the 4% of the world who uses Macs?

Second gripe of the day: My GoLive has the annoying habit of not allowing me to Cut and Paste after a while. It's been happening for months now. Could be a biproduct of upgrading to Panther. Anyone else have this problem? Really annoying. I'm working on a big project right now, and cut and paste is just one of those things that I use a lot. I have to quit and relaunch the app to get it up and running every few minutes.

I just got a little box in the postal mail today filled with all kinds of MINI goodies! What a wonderful surprise - it really brightened my day!

contents:
1) a MINI welcome note from the General Manager
2) a cool MINI pen - with a car that "drives" from Hollywood to New York. (it's even a MINI!)
3) a MINI plastic business card holder with little MINI cards
4) MINI Messaging Kit
5) MINI journal
6) MINI BINGO boards!
7) a new MINI Roadside Assistance card complete with VIN Number

It was all wrapped up in a big "Let's Motor" rubber band.
very cool!

I already LOVE my MINI, but this stuff makes me even happier to own my MINI!

I think there should be a rule someone stating that women with dark hair should be exempt from having white/grey hairs.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you. I find the whole thing kind of facisnating.

But really - white hairs stand out so strongly against jet black hair. I seem to be getting a lot more lately - is this what happens when you turn 33? They're popping up predominately on the front left side (by the ear). There are also a few popping up in the back - it seems like only Dick notices these, as he's the only one with that high vantage point.

My friend, Sal, used to say that he had "one grey hair for every person he ever taught" (in color guard and drum corps). I think my turn is coming, and I'm a little nervous, because I've taught my fair share of color guard students over the years.... hundreds, I'd guess. Uh-oh.

So, once they start popping in more often... then what? Do I start dying my hair? Hide them amongst highlights? eek! Isn't that one of those things that once you start, you can't ever stop?

I'm going to wait this out, and see how long I can ride the wave. I think my Mom was around 50 when she made the plunge to hair-dying. that seems really good - hopefully, I've got her genes!

Mmmmm. I'm eating a slice of Carrot Cake from Just Desserts. Yum. I think it's one of my favorite desserts.

We just got back from a quick jaunt over to SF MOMA. Saw the Pop Exhibit. What a great exhibit. I was really pleased with it. They have some great pieces.

My excuse for getting a slice of carrot cake: I got hungry after seeing all of the Yummy Wayne Thiebaud paintings. :) I absolutely LOVE seeing Thiebaud oil paintings in person.

Today is the big day! Dick's house is officially up on the market. Today is the first Open House. It'll also be open next week. :)
