Because of the sometimes pain in the ass it is to re-do or enter correct track listing for songs when importing cd's to make sound files with, I decided to download stuff from iTunes for my iPod.  Still have some more wanting to get - waiting until next paycheck for getting iTunes gift cards to download some more stuff I am after.  Some of the stuff I have on cd, or the iTunes version is a bit different then what I had on cd.  At any rate I thought I would share what I've downloaded from iTunes and transferred to my iPod.

Well, the excitement in my life is this: My mom bought Patrick and I a car.  We go tommorow to the DMV to get plates for it.  It is a 2000 Hundai (I know I am butchering up the spelling.)  I will take some pictures of it to post up at some point in time.

I had gotten a couple of dulcimers beginning of summer from a well known dulcimer maker (at least on the Everything Dulcimer boards.)  I have *not* been happy with them at all.  They are nicely made - do not get me wrong.  They just don't feel *right* to me.  To that end, I have a couple on order from McSpadden Dulcimers.  I know they are well made, easy to play, and most importantly, feel *right*.  I will be getting a 6-string all cherry teardrop dulcimer, like what Cyndi Lauper played on American Idol on "Time After Time".  I will also be getting a 4 string teardrop, with cherry back and redwood top.  That one I will have in DGd tuning.  After I get them, I will make some videos of my playing them to put onto to my YouTube page.

Mom finally meet Bella, our poodle / chihuahua mix, and loved her.  Bella was a touch timid around my mom's 2 poodles, but then started playing with her male poodle and wore him out (and got wore out in the process.)

Christine is 3 months pregnant, and no complications yet.  I am thankful for that.  The big however though is I just do not know how responsible her husband Jason will be when the baby is born.  But that's a while yet.

Need to get coffee going work out and go over to the bank, so be well.

Decided would be easier to try to seperate the stuff in my life into paragraphs.  Might be easier to digest for you the reader

To start off with, Patrick's dad Les finally passed on 3 weeks ago today.  His dad specifically requested no funeral, just a memorial service.  His mom is handling that, but so far, no date at all.  And we haven't even broached the subject of the will.  The reason I am really pushing the finding out about the will is because I remember the hastle that happened when my Grandma Staley passed on and how it took a long long time for her estate to be settled.

As you know, I am a Kirstie Alley fan.  I love Kirstie thin, fat, in between, whatever, I just am a fan of her regardless of whatever shape or size, because she is so funny and a down to Earth gal.  Well, she does have a website up (Google it) and had a Twitter link.  Because of Kirstie being on Twitter, I decided to join Twitter.  My user ID is mrjop1975 on Twitter.  Feel free to follow me on there.  I honestly don't use it a whole heck of a lot, but I have done random blurbs about stuff in my life.

We have a new puppy in the house - Bella.  She is part Chihuahua part Poodle mix.  Poor thing started off life in a puppy mill.  The woman we got her from got her at a Pet Store at the mall in Champaign.  She's slowly coming out of her shell from when we got her.  I just am worried because her bones just seem so fragile.  Patrick has been giving her a little milk, which has helped some.  Just remember, if you get a pet at a pet store, the chances are that the pet came from a mill, where they are after quanity not quality.  And that is nothing against people that have gotten dogs and cats from pet stores, but a simple fact.


I did figure out how to make videos to put onto YouTube.  http://www.youtube.com/user/mrjop1975 is my page.  Feel free to subcribe to it.  So far I have put 4 clips of my dulcimer playing onto it.  I'll be adding some autoharp clips on Sunday.


My best to everyone and have a great rest of Wednesday.

Well, I have so much to share I don't know where to begin .

1) My sister is engaged to be married saturday the 28th of June.  And.....well, I will be an uncle the end of February!  Congratulations Christine and Jason!

2) I was on Craigslist looking at the pets section and saw an ad that caught my eyes for a chihuahua poodle mix named Bella.  To make a long story short, Patrick and I adopted her friday.  There are 3 pictures of her in the JOP pictures album if you want to see what she looks like.  I tried taking some with my webcam earlier but she was too much of a wiggle butt.

3) Speaking of the JOP pictures album, I have uploaded a number of new pictures.  Feel free to comment away.

4) I am done with the school for the summer!  Thank the Lord, free at last, free at least, sang the choir at the last day of work for me hehe.

More to come later,

JOP
