Fill in the Blank Friday

I know it's not Friday anymore, but I really want to do it.  So there.

1.  I am proud of  my husband.  He accomplished so much this week (including recording a demo CD with his band) and still looks for more crazy things to do with his life.  What a crazy man. 


2.   This weekend I will    be dog/house sitting.  It should be really fun!  I think we are going to bring our bikes as well and take a nice scenic bike ride.  Hopefully!  



3.  A secret dream I have is   to be a stay-at-home mother.  Homeschool my kids, live on a lake, have a huge craft room...you know.  All that fun stuff!

4. I can't handle     my new iPod touch.  Seriously.  It's sucking away my free time.  I have spent too much time looking up awesome apps and playing with each one.  Oh goodness. 

5. The most annoying thing in the entire world is     not having cable.  I just want to watch the Olympics! At least my parents have cable.  There is some hope in this world ;) 

6. The most relaxing thing in the entire world is    sitting in the grass with a great book and some tasty lemon-water.  Oh so good.  

7.  I think everyone should   start a Words with Friends game with me.  Twosokools. I need some more games to play (I also need to waste more free time. Yes.)

Passionfruit

I have decided to start a new button swapping system.  I was inspired by the great Malo.

I don't want to charge people to place their buttons on my blog, but I do want people that I have gotten to know through this blogging world.   
I don't want to swap buttons with people that I don't know and that are all about the advertising, not about the relationships.  Isn't blogging supposed to be about meeting new people, creating relationships, and bonding with people?

Therefore, I am going to use Passionfruit on my sidebar to swap buttons.  It's a super easy signup and you can change the button that shows up yourself whenever you want (pretty neat!).  It's also FREE.

Also, it means that each month you have to renew your button swapping with me.  Ok, that part kind of sucks for you, but it does make sense, doesn't it?

I'm not going to charge for you to have your button up there.  It's totally free.  Also, I'm going to pre-approve all button swappers so that I get people that are real and true.

I hope that hasn't scared you away because I do want to swap buttons and get people recognized that should get recognized.  I'm also not a horrible person out to throw down someone who genuinely wants to swap.  If you ask me nicely enough I'll probably still swap with you.


So, if you still want to swap, go ahead and signup below!  I really hope some of you decide to.

Ear Candy: My jams

I love music.  It's one thing my husband and I have in common.  We both have a passion for music.  I thought I would share with you some of my "jams".  The songs that I tend to rock out to whenever I hear them.  Enjoy!


Punch Brothers - Hundred Dollars


John Mayer & Herbie Hancock - Stitched Up

Chris Brown - Forever    
(I think this song is here because of the Office & original wedding video w/ this song.  I love me some cheese.)

Esperanza Spalding - Radio Music


Herbie Hancock, Jonny Lang & Joss Stone - When Love Comes to Town


Imogen Heap - The Walk
