I get an extra day off this week cuz they don't pay for more than 5 days a week where I work, so the stat doesn't mean I get more pay, I just get an extra day off.  I don't really mind, I just wish they would have put them 3 days in a row so I could enjoy it.  The way they did it is that I got my usual 2 days off, worked one, now have another day off.  The least they could have done was split the 4 days I work this week in half and put the break in the middle.  sheesh!

Oh, to have a dependable babysitter!

I have a cellphone now...and by "cellphone" I don't mean that I got two cans and tied them together with string (yeah, I know it took me long enough to switch from dialup internet to highspeed!)...so yeah, this "Brown-Eyed-Dog" is learning some new tricks...hehehe!

 In the ongoing saga of "Brown Eyed Dog discovers 21st century technology", I now have a laptop...wheeeeeeeeeeee!!!

I discovered a new band last night, The Sunparlour Players.

Here are the lyrics to my fave (so far I have only heard three) of their songs, copied and pasted from the net for your reading pleasure. Enjoy. e76

 

IF THE CREEKS DON'T RISE 

Rise, rise and shine 
Shoes on again, it's time 
You're working today, gonna have to pitch in while it's light
If the creeks don't rise, I hope to see tomorrow all right 

Watch my father's hands plant some seeds again 
Hear my mother call the helpers in 
If the creeks don't rise, we'll work 'til the light gets dim 
And if the creeks don't rise, we'll work 'til the light gets dim 

The helpers starts to feel sick 
The helpers think it's a trick, but 
They keep working hard, to send a little money back home
Because in Mexico is where their family seeds are sown 
But, now the Sun Parlour is where they call their home 

Smell that water coming across the field 
I wanta get some 
I wanna get in the way of that great big old irrigation gun 
Call all your friends 
Tell your parents, they too can attend 
Come on farmers, come on trees 
Feel that coolness in the breeze 

Because if the creeks don't rise, we're gonna have a time 
Because if the creeks don't rise, we're gonna have a 
We're gonna have a time 

Night is coming in 
All of the fields, they are empty as 
We sit down to eat and I wrestle my Dad to the ground 
With so much fun around, you can't even hear the sound 

Rise, rise and shine 
Shoes on again, it's time 
My brother and I hear a sound 
It sounds like a roar 
The creeks have risen, risen like never before 

The creeks have risen like they've done before

I finished three books in two days. I love being productive on the reading-for-pleasure front.

(Of course, I usually have about five or six books on the go at once, so sometimes I've been working on them for a while...)

"There's the shirt that I like!"

"It was nice singing with you this evening."

I bought a Michelina's Advantage fettucine alfredo chicken bowl, it was disgusting!   Not to mention the fact that there was only like 6 little chunks of chicken in it.

Hi All!

Just wanted to share this great group I discovered last Thursday at the FUSE taping with my BR buds. :o)

It was love at first listen! They are now on my list of favourite bands. I'm so gung-ho, I went to Wakefield two nights in a row to get more. Pïcked up their CD. Got their autographs, pictures, the whole deal. Great music and a nice bunch of guys to boot. :o)

They are The Sunparlour Players and I hope you will go have a listen:

Take care,

Enikô :o)

*EDIT* Forgot to mention that I am equally excited about the guy who opened for them on Friday: Old Man Luedecke. (sp?) Look him up too!

I saw the strangest car today on my way home from work.  I'm not sure what it was, possibly a Ferrari or something like that, but it was so low to the ground the guy driving had to have been practically laying down to drive it.  The top of the cab was barely higher than the hood and when I passed it, the whole thing was about the same level as the hood of my car.  I can't imagine why anyone would want a car like that.  A sardine tin on wheels.
