My Opinion Counts

Planet-seekers who have spotted 28 new planets orbiting other stars in the past year say Earth's solar system is far from unique and there could be billions of habitable planets.

"We are beginning to see that our home is not a rarity in the universe," said Geoffrey Marcy, a professor of astronomy at the University of California Berkeley, who led the team.

It is the first time we have determined the structure of one of these extrasolar planets. It is rocky like Earth but it has a lot of water which is the essential ingredient for life."

I got out of bed at around 7 this morning. I thought for sure that Brody would be bugging Greg to get up. Since Greg rarely gets a chance to sleep in, I thought I would get Brody out of his bed so the dog wouldnt bug him. That little stinker of a dog must've been wore out because he was sleeping so hard that I didn't even wake him up. I'm talking about the dog (Greg didn't wake up either) not waking up. LOL He looked at me like he was wondering why I was bothering them!

One of my favorite blogs to read is Shadowscope. He talks about things straight from the heart. He even feels guilty about getting sleep the way I am always whining about relaxing. I love his point of view on things even if I cringe a little at the f word being used. I just don't throw that word around. His site is beautiful with it's black and orange tones. You would think it would be bright and buggy but it is actually soft and easy to the eye. His links are all lined up making it easy to find what you want to check out. He doesn't have a bunch of junk all over his blog. I like that. Check it out. He had a really interesting night last night. Yikes!

I told myself that today was going to be a day of relaxation. Hubby is outside washing my car and I am sitting here in my jammies feeling guilty. Somebody tell me it is ok! I feel the need to get up and wash some windows or something.

I think I'll go read some blogs first.

I have been asked to review audio recorder software. They wouldn't have needed to ask because when I saw this site I was hooked. This software allows you to capture all kinds of Streaming Video and Audio, including Radio Shows, Online TV Broadcasts, video clips, audio archives, and Podcasts. I can save all the things I would normally have to stay home to see. Since I don't want to stay home I have been resigned to just missing all my favorite things. Now I don't have to! I love this! My kids will love that they can create high quality MP3 files for listening on their PC, iPod, MP3 Player or a PDA. At alldigitalguide.com you can check out their Audio Recorder Software Review and make comparisons of these best audio sound recorder software programs by price and quality. Get the best one for you. I cannot wait!

Hubby and I decided to move all the living room furniture into our new room. We call this room our lodge on the lake that we don't have. LOL It has cedar siding and windows all around on two sides. It is very rustic. We are going to add a stone fireplace and wood look Konecto floor but that will come later. We have too many projects this summer to start any more. It is 10:30 and we started working on this project at 9 am. I think I will sleep like a baby tonight!
