I’m musically inclined, or at least I’d like to think so. But I have never heard of a midi keyboard. Now I am familiar with .midi files. I remember way back in the day I had a huge collection of midi versions of video game songs. This was long before I found OCRemix of course. So I thought that a lot of those midi versions were good. Some are, I will say that. But it’s just so flat otherwise.

But yeah, never heard of a midi keyboard, and now I have something else to google at a quarter to 3 in the morning. Oh well, not like I’m sleepy …

Now that Rydia is 6 months old, I can probably feel safe starting to look for jobs. However, to be perfectly honest with ya, I wouldn’t mind staying with my little girl while working at home. The first year especially is the most important¹ and I would love to not miss any of her milestones. I almost missed her sitting up for the first time since it was at 3:30 am. What if I actually left the house? I would miss her first steps. And that would break my heart.

So before I start looking for family dollar jobs or something else, I’m looking for jobs where I can work in the …

Rydia’s still too young for me to shop personalized towels for kids, but I have a few older nieces and nephews who would probably get a kick out of having their own towel with their name on it.

I remember when I was younger and saw those personalized license plates and keychains, I bugged my mom to get me one. Sometimes, I was lucky, but other times, the curse of the common name struck and they would be fresh out of Natalies (pretty sure Ashleys got it worse though). My sister got me a personalized piggy bank a couple of years ago, and I got a kick out of it. Yeah, dork I am. …

Around 10:30am yesterday, my internet went down. Thought that it was just the router playing up, so we reset it, and nothing happened.

This went on for 12 hours.

12 hours without internet. I will admit, I freaked. Not because I couldn’t live without the internet¹. But because I had stuff that I needed to do and for 12 hours I couldn’t. I had my blog work to do and I couldn’t catch up. Thank goodness I have my iPod, so I wasn’t completely devoid of musical goodness. When it finally came back up, I was too tired to do much …

There are some crazy inventions, but I have never heard of battery heated gloves. I kid you not. So apparently, they are used for skiers (which would explain why I wouldn’t have heard of such a thing before), and they come complete with battery charger. But ye gods, they’re expensive! Now I understand why, but if I’m going to spend 300 bucks on a pair of gloves that can have its batteries die permanently or blow up or something, they better also do laundry and cook too!

Although, you may be able to warm up sausages in them…
