Some thoughts and discussions from me.
5 Things Friday
1. It has been SO good seeing all of my friends and family this week – and I’ve still got 4 more days!
Jessica and I went out to eat last night (and Tuesday!) and I got to catch up with my good friend, Mel, and her little one for lunch yesterday. Today I’m spending the entire day shopping in Chicago with my friend Heidi, and then spending the weekend with Destiny and Kim. Yay, friends!! 
2. One thing about my parents’ house I miss?
Having an actual newspaper to read! I’ve enjoyed leisurely drinking my coffee and reading the newspaper (or listening to my dad read it 
) each morning. Plus, fun new coffee mugs!
3. I haven’t talked about the books I’ve been reading lately! I just finished another Scott Pratt book not too long ago, and I’m now re-reading James Patterson’s Alex Cross series. Specifically, I’m reading Along Came a Spider.
4. Have I talked about Spotify yet?
I first heard about it when making a spinning playlist for my audition, and now I use it all the time! It’s basically $10/month for all of the music you want. As long as you pay the $10 membership, you can get access to music on your phone, ipod, and laptop! Pretty cool.
How do you download music?
Glad you’re having a blast!!!! Enjoy every minute.
One of the things I miss most about my parents’ house is having a real newspaper to read too! Nothing like a cup of coffee and a newspaper to really start of the day!

Aw, it’s always nice to go home! 🙂 And PS – my mom totally reads the paper aloud too! lol
I actually just watched the movie Along Came A Spider (for like the 10th time!) last week! LOVE!
Continue having a great time!!

I seriously love James Patterson’s books. You always get me excited to read new ones. They are definitely some of my favorite.
Glad to hear you’re having a great time with all your friends!
Enjoy the rest of the time you have together!!

I love spotify… I use the free version on my laptop and create playlists to use in the classroom with my students whenever we are doing an art project or writing. Love it!

It’s so funny you read the paper at your parents because I do, too! I never read the paper but when I get to my parent’s house, it’s always the first thing I do!

We love spotify but my fiance and I share his account so occasionally we knock each other off which can be annoying if I am using it at the gym.

So glad you’re enjoying your trip! I still rely on iTunes or Pandora for my music. I need to check Spotify out. It sounds like a good deal!

I use spotify on my computer since it’s free but I haven’t bought the upgraded version yet, I’m not sure how much I would use it. Haha plus I’m so cheap right now.

Have fun!!
My library gives out 3 songs per week, so I just do that–it’s free! It’s nice too, b/c now the only class that I would need any of my own music is Zumba. And then I still have tons of stuff from zumba too–so it works out well!
So glad you’re having a blast. I love reading the paper at my parents’ home too – I miss it and it reminds me of them. 😉 Keep soaking up that family and friend time!

Looks like you’re having an awesome time!
I use iTunes for downloading music. I try to pick and choose what I *really* want so I don’t blow a ton of money, or we ask for gift cards to load for “free” music.
