I'm sure those of you who live north of the Mason/Dixon Line are getting really disgusted with me for continually whining about the cold down here (especially Lisa up there in Minnesota, if she's reading this!), but this morning was definitely the coldest morning to date. Got up at 6 AM and filled every empty jug I could find with hot water and headed for the barn. Frozen water lines and buckets -- again. Complaining horses -- AGAIN. And since I had to come in to work after feeding the horses, I had to forego the watch cap I usually pull down over my ears. (It makes my hair stick up in all directions.) Hmm. Maybe that's why I nearly froze to death this morning.
After I got home and started making coffee for the trip to work, I turned around and was nearly blinded by the glare of the sun off my newly-polished dining room table! Good grief! What did that woman use to clean that thing with??? I don't know how she managed to get plain old wood to reflect like that!
I won the laptop I bid on from eBay last night (I use eSnipe -- I hardly EVER lose). It's one pretty much like the one I bought Mark, but this one came with a lot of software and over 110 gigs of music installed. Can't wait to see what all he's got on there. The seller describes it as:
"110 Gigs of music: Complete Beatles collection (over 35 cd's), Stones, Led Zepellin (8 cd’s), Coldplay, U2,...etc. A few gigs of Jazz (Chalie Parker, John Coltrane, Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis, Art Blakey, Herbie Hancock......many one-hit-wonder singles, “best of” collections, smaller collections of soundtracks, karaoke, country – too much to list. Something like 20 thousand songs."
20 THOUSAND songs???!! Even if he's exaggerating significantly, given a download price of at least $.50 a song, if there's even a minute fraction of that number that turn out to be music I like (and that I don't already have) they'll be worth way, way more than I paid for the laptop! We'll see.
