I haven’t posted for a while because I’ve been so overwhelmed by the start of my new job - I’ve been fried by the time the evening comes and have only wanted to put my feet up and stare at the ceiling. Now that life is settling down a bit, I’m getting back into doing things I used to do, blogging included. Tonight I ran across a new podcast I just had to recommend - it inspired me to get back on the blogging saddle.
I subscribe to several NPR podcasts, and especially like All Songs Considered because it exposes me to artists I might not listen to otherwise. They have added (I’m not sure when) Live Concerts from All Songs Considered, which I just added to my iTunes subscriptions. This podcast includes “entire concerts from artists like Blitzen Trapper, Dan Deacon, The Decemberists, Radiohead, Tom Waits, Fleet Foxes, Neko Case. Some concerts include interviews with the bands.” Some have video and some are just audio. Their latest installment is Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, the artists who did the fantastic soundtrack for the movie “Once.”
If you like music, check it out! It’s definitely worth a listen. What’s your favorite podcast?
I love my son’s daycare. They have a great program, wonderful teachers, a beautiful campus, and lots of fun activities. Yesterday, as we were leaving, we noticed some curious items by the door outside with a note inviting us to decorate a cup, fill it with dirt, plant a flower seed, and take it home to watch it grow. What a fun way to celebrate Earth Day!
Today is
Okay, I admit it. I’m a sugar addict. I love baked goods, M&Ms, and almost all things chocolate or carb-like. But I also know that I feel a lot better when I cut back on my sugar intake and live a healthier life. So here I go again! I’m returning to a more Mediterranean diet with more local, fresh foods, and less processed, sugary gunk.
