I've been spending more time in my car, now that we have our new son home. (I know it doesn't make sense...more on this later*) What's driving me crazy is the state of terrestrial radio nowadays. If it's not some lame-ass DJ yammering about how guys are this horny and girls are always frigid, it's a commercial, or it's some whiny John Mayer song that I could care less about.
Ugh. It's simply painful.
For a Christmas gift, I bought Mr. Goofy a Sirius radio subscription and have benefited from the use of it while riding in his vehicle. I typically listen to audio books most the time I'm in my car, but with New Kid, I figure I better at least pretend to pay some attention to him (it's called "sarcasm" by the way, folks...)
Anyway, I finally had the last straw late last week and started looking for Sirius radios. Since Mr. Goofy has a subscription, it's a mere $6.99 per month for me to sign up. I scored last season's Sirius tuner on eBay for $56 (not too shabby - Sirius' price for the same model was $109).
...and I am waiting impatiently to get it. Yippee!!!! Good music! Jim Kramer on demand! Whee!
Yes, I am a Late Adopter. Late, but I get there eventually.
* Lil G LOVES to go! Anywhere. Price Chopper. Target. Garden Store. Post Office. It's all New! and Fun! for him. The Russian word for "Bye" is "Paka". After breakfast dishes are cleared, he starts pointing to the door and/or putting his shoes on, and saying "Paka!" "Paka!", as in "Let's go!"
He's definitely not a homebody! He's living it up now that he has two chauffeurs!

Lil G sounds like Arun. Every morning, "What we going to do today, mama?" Fortunately, I can tell him that his friend Lil G is going to come over!
You and I both win on that one, no?
I would LOVE to just sit at home. I thought that is what SAHMs did!!! I feel robbed, I tell ya.
I dont understand how people in their 40's could NOT like Mayer. He's great! Is it a being-single thing? I dont get how people couldnt like him....
