Life has been busier than usual lately as the winter trimester winds down.  E and J's sports schedules have intensified and M was in the Middle School production of "The Music Man" which had its performances this past weekend.  Practices, games, meets, and rehearsals translates into even more driving for me.   Which isn't awful, but is made less pleasant due to the loss of my much lamented stolen iPod.  Radio is horrible around here and being subjected to its vagaries was no fun at all.  But, in happy news, my father-in-law was in town to see E's basketball game and M's play, and he took me shopping and bought me a new iPod classic to replace the one that was stolen.  So, tomorrow's drive to school will be to the soundtrack that shuffle designates for me.   Maybe that will help combat the winter doldrums that I seem to be stuck in these days.

Now that I have all this extra iPod space to fill up, what were your favorite cds of 2008?  I need to discover some new music.  I have the new Bon Iver, Snow Patrol, Elbow, and Fleet Foxes.  If there's something else that you think I might like, please feel free to recommend it.  I'm generally an alternative/indie kind of gal.

In other news, it was in the 70s here today.  This after snow on inagural day.  Screwy Mother Nature makes me nervous.
