Another nice bikeride ..with visits to friends
Today after work I went for a bike ride.My first stop was the recycling Center where I dropped of a dozen or so old magazines.Chip and his crew were going about the business of wrapping up the work day.
My next stop was Ocean County Music.It felt good peddling down Bay Ave again.I bought some Jewel cases for my Cd's.Sal was there.He was actually in a talkative mood.I nicknamed him to quiet one.Some folks think hes not that smart because he's shy but Hes actually very smart I think!
My next stop was a 60 second visit to Vinnie at In The Light Photography.He was meeting with customers So I didn't stay long.
My next stop was Thoughtful Treasured where my friend Eloise has a shop.My Last stop was The Grind coffee Shop where I got a blueberry Muffin and a coffee.
I chatted with Debby the owner and eventually Eloise showed up and had a latte.We all sat around and chatted and being it was getting late I headed home before dark but of course I had to stop at Bay Point Market and get some Pennie pasta and a bottle of coke.
Tonight Ill make some mixes and family and friends and mail them off Saturday.
Oh and I must post my latest mix here.Hmm perhaps Tonight.stay tuned!

off to a good start
I woke up at 7:30 to the call of nature.I was planning to get up extra earlt today to get a some CD mixes mailed out before work.I figured up at 8 out of the house by 9:15 etc etc.
Upon returning to bed I saw what might screw up my plans.Snow!
I did get up my 8am,get dressed and had tea.I prepared myself for a good 15 minutes and brushing off snow and scraping off ice.
I headed out to the car and it didnt seem bad.I got the brush combo scraper and went to work.it was just a dusting!YES!
My 15 minute ordeal turned out to be a 5 minute brushing!Not only did I have time for a post office run, I went to Muellers Bakery next door and got 2 blueberry muffins.One for me and one for our Custodian,Frank.
He doesnt like me spending money on him but I told him the seagulls talked me into it.ha!
He appreciated it.
Tonight I made a my playlist but might do some rearranging with the songs.I wanted just to do all oldies but it kind of took a life of its own and theres a touch of world music.Its mostly oldies and jazz though.Ill try to post it tomorrow.

Yardsales..be on the lookout!
As spring approaches and the weather gets warmer you will see signs for yard sales.These usually happen close to memorial day.
If your looking for bargains on kids toys,baby strollers,music books,pictures frames etc,yards sales are awesome.If you find music or DVDs check to make sure they arent damaged and Have the right disc inside.Its happened to me.I bought a CD for a dollar,get it home and no disc inside.Don't worry about what the people think.check it out.If your buying a stereo or something like that make sure it works.
Its your buying a collectible glass or any dinnerware put it in the dishwasher if you plan on eating from it.
Books come pretty cheep.Usually 10- 25 cents.If you see a picture with a frame that you want buy it and chuck the picture later.
Oh I could go on but I will stop there.
Happy Yard sailing!

I feel good.
My radio alarm woke me up at the usual time.8am.The forecast sounded good .A high of 59 degrees.I metally formed a game plan for a short sleeved shirt.
Luckily My white Izod shirt was clean and unwrinkled.Yeah!!
a few folked commented on the fact that I was wearing a short sleeved shirt.Perhaps they didn't hear the weather forecast.
The day went well.
During the ride home I planned on a walk or a bike ride.
It was a walk.
Getting my bike out was no east task but I'll work on that tomorrow.Its cover by an extension cord and other stuff blocking a quick exit but I'll clear a path in the Morning.
Anyway the walk felt good.I love my new sneakers.I havent been in sneakers for weeks!Ive been living in boots,work shoes and socks.
Today's first stop was the post office to mail 4 lucky music lovers some CD mixes!
At the time i got to the Post office it was 4:45 and there was one person on.I did a little small talking to the woman in front of me about how nice the days was and the woman in front of here said we are supposed to get another dose of nasty weather on Tuesday.
My next stop was the local Pharmacy where I got Tooth paste and 4 mailing envelopes.
Yes 4 more lucky Music fans will be getting mixes.
All this shopping makes one hungry so on the way home I got some Chinese food.
I ate my dinner and had four glasses of wine.
We have 4 days off and I have no set schedule for tomorrow so what the heck.Turn on the tunes,have dinner and a few glasses of wine.Yeah!
Oh but don't think I mailing all these mixes out and not getting any in return.
I did get 2 mixes from a fellow mixmaker from Japan!
Most folks I mail mixes to do return the favor!
A few don't havbe the time or whatever to make me a mix but they do That me with a small donation towards yes More CDrs.
OK time for a cup of Tea to sober up.I got a little buzz!lol!!!
Have a great weekend
Trish
P.S

He's outta there!
Muborak has finally quit!The People of Egypt can start anew!Much speculation of will it get worse befor it gets better.
When I hear about stuff like this from around the world It reminds me of how nice we have it here in the U.S.
Sure we have our troubles but nothing like stuff otherseas.We can sleep at night knowing the military isn't going to force our kids into service at age 13.They can play in the fields knowing they wont step on a landmine,etc.
We are so blessed here in America and still we complain its not perfect.Be greatful for your family and friends.Be greatful for your job,car and that roof over your head.Be greatful for your sight,hearing and ability to get up each day.
Seize the day and do the best you can!Strive for new heights!Your an American!

God has my back
Its funny how things work out.
This morning I left for work early to pick up a few blueberry muffins as a suprise to my fellow office posse.I had $20.00.I just happen to look at my gass gage and saw I was low.I had just enough time to get gas too!Plan A was scratched!
I did arrive on time to work.I thanked God pulling into the parking lot.
I realized I had no money for lunch.I had $1.00.OK a little something from the snack box will have to do.Im in no danger of starving.
At 11ish I saw someone deliver what appeared to be bags of chinese food.Then it hit me.Today was chinese food day and I put in an order!I raised my right fist in victory.YES!The thumb went up!
Its funny has many things work out and that little voice says "whos got your back?who takes care of you?for me the answer is God.Im not ashamed nor am I boastful but I am greatful!Im sure It pleases him that I recognize it though.Oh yeah.Glory to God in the highest my friends and peace to his people on earth!

Music Chatter n stuff
For years I have been looking for CDs of the Dave Clark Five.Last week I was on the Library website and wella they Have the greatest hits.Someone told me their stuff was out of print.Im guessing there was a legal or internal beef and it somehow got settled and now theres a greatest hits.Naturally I ordered it.
Do you ever search on line for music or whatever and see what you want and then find out its no longer avaliable.Why is it still on the website then?so cruel!
Im thinking of a new mix but awaiting an order from oldies.com
A tltile has yet to come to mind too!One title comes to mind "kill the groundhog"..lol!
Today the jumprope for heart even at BHS went well.
I played music on our little school stereo.One first grader asked me if I had any Guns and Roses.GNR was popular when they were just a twinkle in they're mamas eye!ah perental music education.Don't ya just love it?My parental music education was better.Jazz,swing and folk music!Im not a GNR fan.

Friends- a Poem
They will lift you up when you are low
They will respect you
don't you know
They wont always agree with your views
but they help you
pay some dues
They will bring sunshine when you feel blue
celebrate and laugh with me
Good friends are more precious than Diamonds
don't you see
Some are seldom seen
In Dark times they can be seen
Love them
Appreciate those who are close
hold them near
let no one part
good friends
near to your heart
Good friends
can last forever!

Tunes and the telly
Tonight I watched American Graffiti on DVD.Its a great film about high school kids in the early 60s.Its also has some awesome tunes in it.
I also listened to Nanas show on 90.3 the core.She plays a great Eclectic bunch of tunes.There was a song I really liked by a band called Grizzly Bear playingFine for now.They kind of reminded me of Crosby Stills and Nash a little bit.
I found 2 blank CDs and made a cousin 2 of my newest mixes.I was hoping to get the blank CDs I ordered in the mail today but didnt.Oh the waiting game.Lord give me Patience!Calm my anxious soul.
Theres a list of folks awaiting music from me.Some haven't seen a mix from me since the Christmas mix I sent out.I think its been a few weeks since I send out any mixes i'm Having mix withdrawl!Ahh!

A walk and thoughts
The work day went well.I have a new name for our 5th grade teacher.Smiley.She has this wondewrful smile that lights up the room and brightens your day.She could be a model.realy.
After work I took a walk to the local Liquare store to get a bottle of wine.Of course my walk started just as the school around the corner from us were dismissing and traffic around the school get a tad overwhelming.Thats when I hop up on the sidewalk till after I get past the school.
The one cool advantage to that is the crossing guards stop traffic so you can cross busy streets.No 10 minute waits to cross Beaver Dam Road Today.
I was really starting to feel the effects of lack of excercise today en route home.wow!My lower back and my legs.oh man!
Im sure Ive Gained to Pound since Christmas time too!Walks have been few and far between.

the groundhog a myth?
Yesterday the kids were all saying how the groundhod didnt see his shadow.
Later I thought to myself "Of course he didnt see his shadow it was cloudy and rainy!"
Why do people beleive this Urban legend and why should springs arrival be determind by a Groundhog? If the groundhog is wrong do we get to kill him and use him for fish bait?No !PETA would not allow that.If he is wrong can the ALCU sue him for being a false prophet?Oh no Pat Robertson would head up that crusade.lol!
OK preak it to them gentley but tell your kids The groudhog ruling is an urban legend.I do hope spring does arrive a little earlier though BUT if it does give mother nature or a HIGHER power the credit NOT a rodent.
Next weeks subject .."There are no such things as Purple Dinosours that talk."

random thoughts
Last night I thought to myself.Why am I complaing about being stuck inside?Days eh hem weeks like this provide time to relax and go through old mixtapes and relax.
Many good songs have I forgot about.
Speaking of Memories I watched the first episode of Starsky and Hutch Tonight on DVD.
Starsky and Hutch was a Popular cop show in the mid to late 70s.
I found I book in my closet titles Jazz 101.Aha something to read.I love jazz and want to learn more about its history althought years ago I watched Ken Burns series on Jazz on Channel 13.
I might watch thats again on DVD too.
The first grade is doing a survey on whether the groundhog will see his shadow or not.Frank and I said no.I think that groundhog stuff is just malarkey but I go along with it at work.
