    Saturday TunesThis was an incredibly fast week. A week of big ups and downs. I’m actually thrilled to get to the weekend and start relaxing. Today we have some fun planned. The kids have been begging us to take them bowling… and since I’m not a fan of the game I’ve put it off for a long, long time. From there we plan on doing some furniture shopping. When we left Romeo we were going from 2000 square feet to about 1000. The new place is more like 1500… which means the kids rooms are virtually empty. So we’re off to find them desks and bookshelves and things like that. Then mom and dad get to have some fun. The contracts on our phones are finally open, so we’re going to head to the Apple store and finally jump on the iPhone 3G bandwagon. I had gone back and forth with the Blackberry vs. iPhone… in the end, the App store takes it over the edge.

    This morning is quiet. Coffee brewing, birds chirping, music playing. Here are the next 10 songs playing on my (for sale) iPod. As always, completely random and my ratings are included.

    Weird that it chose ten 4 Star songs in a row. And… iTunes is apparently slightly depressed. Got some tunes you’re listening to this sunny Saturday?
