I may be a addicted to shopping…?
I was looking for a last minute present online. My mom’s husband mentioned something last time we were together, so I’m getting him started on the project. That’s when I realized this year I’ve placed 148 orders. I’m partly laughing about hitting 150, the other part of me is shocked.
It turns out that Just Dance is a fantastic workout. I was exhausted after an hour. I also learned how bad a dancer, if that’s what flailing around is called.
As it turns out, I have an Amazon Music (AM) account. Checking it out was somewhat disappointing. Not because the music isn’t good. With every music streaming service, finding music is difficult, since I’m usually looking for jazz and classical.
BUT! One of the stations on AM is 90’s rap. When my roommate came home, he looked at me like WTF? This is the music of my youth. I love all kinds of music, and 90’s rap/hip-hop was fantastic. Plus, it’s based on the same beat as jazz and blues. This playlist is the bomb.
This made me realize that I don’t have many white friends. In high school most of my friends were black, and my best friend was Philipino. Now most of my friends are Arab or from another brown nation – wow sounded racist 😐
It wasn’t until my mid 20’s that I had a white girlfriend. And now, I’m ready to date someone from outside North America. The few Moroccan women I know are so amazing. The perfect combination of intelligence, values, and they are not materialistic.
In another twist, the company I just co-found, I’m the only employee who is white and non-Muslim. The level of respect is higher than with any other group of people I’ve worked with.
I don’t think my Xbox can control my TV. I’ve spent way too much time trying to set it up. My TV is recognized, but it won’t send the shutoff signal.
Tomorrow is blood draw day. I’m usually in and out in less than 10 min and other than the last time I was there, the vampires get what they need with one prick.
Oh, I didn’t know you have a roommate. Cool, lol. :*) I’m sure I don’t know very much about you, yet, and that’s fine, too. lol. You seem like a nice friend and I love people!! How’s the prank gift for your Mom coming along? lol
@Butterfly4Him LOL I left the note to myself… I wanted to say something else but I forgot.
Yea, he’s from Bahrain and and university student. He needed a cheep place to stay so I offered him my empty room at a friend/starving student discount. I’m pretty much living alone since he’s home maybe 5 hours a week. I feel bad taking rent money from him.
I still haven’t wrapped the present. I’m hoping to get it done this week.
I know even less about you thank you know about me 😝
@axalotal : Oh, I have too many irons in the fire, LOL. I need to get on here and write more, I LOVE OD, and some of my other “loves” are Word Chums, Marco Polo, Facebook(sigh) and real life, lol. I am going to do the post & pics on my Paperwhite Narcissus soon. She’s waning now in her blooms, and I’ve been researching saving the bulb for actual planting. Funny thing I learned is, put alcohol in the water, 7 parts of alcohol to 93 parts of water or the like. I have to read more, though, because I don’t know if the bulb has to stay dormant for a while? I don’t want to kill the poor thing, LOL. :*)
@butterfly4him You shouldn’t melt iron in a fire. Generally, it doesn’t get hot enough and if it does melt, it make a mess without a proper containment vessel.
What’s “real life”, I’ve heard of it.
I love playing the game Marco Polo too. Next time I’m down under we should play. It would be a blast to play it in the ocean.
@axalotal : I have to honestly say, I LOVE your sense of humor, I feel like I “get” you, lol. Yes, I’ve learned over the years to have a containment vessel, the only problem is, what can hold up to melted iron? I have tried to not have this issue/s/ but, life gives us these things, at times, we don’t want, or else don’t need more on our proverbial plate! lol
@axalotal : I missed this note the first time around. lmbo. This Marco Polo, is a video chat where each person takes his/her turn, and the other person listens and watches. It’s for Ipads, phones and the like, not on PC’s to my knowledge. I have one very dear friend that I “polo” with. (with whom I polo? lol. Anyway, none of my family or friends want to do it, kinda sad. LOL. Okay, real life, is the life we get dealt, and have to deal with it the best we can. I don’t preach, but, I have a very strong and good helper to help me with it. He doesn’t always help the way “I” want, ” but, I’ve come to learn, for me, He knows best!! Just for me, not preaching or pushing anything. I hope you have a great day with GOOD deliveries if you are expecting anything. LOL
@butterfly4him Too bad my dad’s dead. He was a metallurgist and could answer your question about containment vessels.
How exactly does one Polo? I’m feeling adventurous.
I have an iPhone and a Macbook. Does it work with what I have or do I need to buy something else?
This real life doesn’t sound like a fun place. What country is it in so I know not to visit it.
No delivers today. Later in the week! I’m so excited for it!
