Life is a Lemon......

....and I want my money back!!!! I love that song! I was revisiting some of my old cds and uploading them to my iTunes library and I came across my Meatloaf cd collection. It's not real extensive, just 5 cds...wait, didn't he only have like 6 or 7? Okay, so I have most of his CDs. I just love Meatloaf. His Bat Out of Hell II: Back to Hell cd was off the charts! And one of the best concerts I have ever seen!!!

As I was flipping through CD memory lane, I realized just how strange my music tastes are and always have been. I have stuff from Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam (HUH?) to Metallica (older stuff..not a big fan of their new stuff), Disturbed and Breaking Benjamin, oh and I can't leave out my Josh Groban collection, Michael Buble and Charlotte Church. I even found some classical music cds! The one thing I want to know, however, is where in the hell are my Best of Barry Manilow cds? Whoever stole it, please send them back! I need some Copacabana vibe!

I actually did tear myself away from my computer today. I started working on some projects for my very last GBC kit. ~sniff~ I decided to do a "trash to treasure" kind of project. I have had this rolodex forever. This little gem got a make over. I turned it into a Quote keeper. I have quotes written down in various notebooks, bits of scrap paper, on a wipe off board, you get the picture. So I thought, hmmm, I need to put them all in one place, some place handy.


{Before: Just an unassuming rolodex, quite plain and boring}


{After: Now it's freshened up with fun and festive colors and has earned a prominent spot on my work table}


Now I just have to sit down and fill it up with quotes!
My current favorite is: If you are not living on the edge you are taking up too much space!!!

So what is your favorite quote?

That's a great idea you did with the card system, all of my quotes are in a binder.
Quicken! I have a free version on my PC, but haven't played with it much.
