Muxin'.

So yesterday I posted about attempting to post my very first muxtape and failing miserably. Today I think I'll be a little more successful after a quick tutorial from the hubs! If you do not know what muxtape is, check out this superb little blog about it.

I hope to make this a weekly ritual so I can share my musical interests with you guys. I always enjoy hearing mixtapes and discovering new music, so I figured you all would as well! My first mix is Pumpkins-centric (my, what a surprise!). It's a little live compilation for all those going to see them in two weeks or for those that have never seen them live or even for those that have never heard of them (gasp!).

They definitely are in my top 10 concert experiences, not only because they are my favorite band, but also because they just put on such a great show. They never do it "half-assed." They always put their all into their performances and you really can't beat that.

So I hope you enjoy my first muxtape. It will be the first of many to come!

One of those Monday's.

I hate Monday's.
I think that is pretty clear if you are my friend on Facebook. As my cousin put it one night, my Facebook status updates are just a countdown until the weekend. And that's pretty much the way I view my work week: What day is it today and how many are left until Friday?

This Monday proved to be extra special.
As I was walking out of my condo this morning, I see the maintenance dude hosing down our hallway blocking me from getting to my car in the parking lot. I make a facial expression that I thought was pretty explanatory that I needed him to move out of the way or at least move the hose out of the way. Yep, I guess not. So he kept hosing and I kept moving. I tried to be slick and turn before he splashed me to take an alternate route when all of a sudden I was sprawled on the floor. Fantabulous. The best part? This good sir didn't even ask me if I was OK or if I needed help. HE JUST KEPT HOSING. Meanwhile, a good portion of my left leg is scraped and bleeding. That is not the way I'd like to start my Monday.

Then I walk into my office (after putting our first aid kit to good use) to listen to my voicemails. And it was one of those voicemails. The ones that make you smack your head against the desk repeatedly.

So because of that, I was going to make my day a lot better by posting my first ever muxtape, but I couldn't figure that bitch out. Growl. I'll wait for the hubs to get home so I can post one tomorrow! Hopefully I can make a weekly ritual out of it.
