Why I do Web design and Blog at Karaoke Shows

  1. I work for a DJ/Karaoke company. I update their web site so sometimes I just have to work at a show doing pictures and video, and if I'm already working why not do a blog or two
  2. Um people work in coffee shops that have wi fi, how is a bar different?
  3. I need more hours in a day…I've been known to blog from my phone while actually *running* a show to meet a deadline
  4. They frown on me blogging and writing at my full time job for very obvious reasons. This is something I need to be doing on my own time.
  5. Sometimes writing for hours on end on my couch with moody cockatiels and psychotic parakeets gets a little old. I want to have a little denial that I am a crazy bird lady.
  6. Mo's actually has a little room just off the DJ booth where I can work pretty much undisturbed the whole night.
  7. I've tried to get the birds to run the home business in my absence, but they are just lazy
  8. I seriously get bored way too easily and I start thinking about all the other things I should be doing. This eliminates that.
  9. Fine…I just like making myself look halfway decent and enjoying time out
  10. It is actually a great way to network…I've actually made 2 business contacts already this evening


 


 

So maybe I am a karaoke junkie…but multi tasking works in my favor

Comfort food at its finest. Share a family favorite recipe you loved as a child. Lets go with #4  Shall We? It has been an interesting ride over the past almost 32 years: I was a cute baby: I was an adorable toddler: I was a child with a bad perm: Police Radios were just a part of Christmas morning and family dinners : I had the "coolest car" I may have vandalized a friend's car with evidence tags and rubber gloves found in aforementioned cool car: I went to college: Moved Away and Made New Friends: I traveled: I even toured with a band: Bottom Line: No matter where I have gone, what

Best Laid Plans

I sat down and crafted a list of blog topics last night, and the plan was start working through that list tonight. It was going to be the start of a true reboot of this old thing. While I had planned on picking my stepdaughter up at the Boys and Girls Club after work I didn't plan on: 1) The amazon parrot needing me to make a food stop on the way home 2) My stepdaugher wanting me to watch her practice for color guard 3) That working on our budget would take nearly as long as it did. 4) Being this exhausted for no particular reason Now I sit here with a basset hound in my lap, and I am awkwardly trying to type on my laptop without disturbing him. This won't  be the blog I wanted to write tonight. It won't  be carefully crafted. That blog post will have to wait. Sometimes  you have to roll with the unexpected. Sometime you have to focus on what is really important. That means acknowledging that you have to make sure your priorities are in check. Sometimes you ha
