I just sapped away 2 hours at Wal*Mart... I have no idea where the time went but since the time change I feel caught in a warp that slows and speeds up without warning. 2 hours gone and now I am sitting here reading blogs. Wasting time again? Well if I am, I don't care.
I have been visiting Belinda's Blog at Ninja Poodles. She cracks me up! Today she is writing about what music is on her iPod. Ok I do not have an iPod... never will I suspect but she had me hooked for most of it. But the best part was a a link to another post about a XMKids radio program that she dislikes... that maybe too watered down a word, but I digress. It seems hate mail abounds in response to Absolutely Mindy Show haters- UNITE post. She deleted a few anonymous comments so she is having a one sided conversation in response to comments previously posted. And her final words slay me "This is my website and I have more rights here than you do." Right on, girl!
Now XMRadio, don't have that either. Its on my wish list. Right now I suffer through Little People CDs which my daughter insists on. My mother bought them for the kids last summer when I took them home to Boston to visit. Laurie Berkener from Noggin has some cute songs... I really thought I had found a hip musician for my kids to listen too but none of her songs seem as hip and cool at XMKids radio. So off I went to sign up for a free trial online to hear what I am missing. (Haha, Absolutely Mindy Show is highlighted on the lineup. But I know better.. stay away!) And since they started messing with Laurie's hair and "jiving" up her videos I have been a bit disappointed in what appears to be her "selling out". Noggin always seems a little "alternative" to me in terms of children's programming but I am in the process of rethinking that. Luckily we changed from Direct TV back to Cable and Noggin is gone... almost every thing is gone but who cares. Now I just miss XMKid radio and I never had it. Nor does it seem I will anytime soon. *sigh*
30 minute wait to get a email verification due to Internet traffic, what the heck? Is satellite radio just not up to the minute with their Internet software. I usually get my verification emails almost instantly. What is this about? They must be too busy up in the atmosphere.

Karen from Surviving Motherhood recommended a great online radio service I had never heard of called Pandora.
Its fun. The only draw back is for users like me who are music illiterate. I love a few artists like... Patty Griffin, Lori McKenna, The Indigo Girls (during a time) but mixing and matching up music is not something I do well. It takes time I do not want to use in that way. And I forget to turn music on anyway. I love quiet. Don't get enough of it really with three kids running around and a husband who either hears nothing or is in sighting the riotous behavior which surrounds me. I can not think clearly as it is. Filtering out music would just send me over the edge I am sure. But I love the idea of Pandora and maybe you will enjoy it.
Ok I can not wait for any longer for this verification email. Jeez... I have to get off and be productive. The life transforming experience I was expecting will have to be put off. Its back to ho hum and laundry.
2 hours later and still no verification. humph.. I think Satellite radio maybe elitist.
Will check back later.
