holding out for the right one?

So my friend MJ is trying to convince me that her little foster dog (cairn terrier) Zorro would be a wonderful fit here.   I had to babysit him for a few days last week while she was dealing with the death of her father.  And he was a pretty awesome little fella.  She thinks I would love him, he sat in my lap, followed me everywhere, likes to go for walks, is relatively well behaved - given his early life issues.  And it is true - he's an wonderful little guy - but he's not a great pyr.  He deserves to have a family that loves him for who he is not just fill in the whole in my heart.

AND wouldn't you know it.... Indy Pyr Rescue posts this sweet little desperate female 15 mos old - severely underweight... up for adoption this morning. 

But really I'm going to do my best to hold out for spring.  We're actually thinking to get one breeder puppy and one rescue - maybe puppy, maybe not.... but I'd really like to have a puppy again.  Puppies are fun and destructive and hilarious.

I'm feeling better now that I don't have any upcoming performances on the horizon.  I burst into tears at the show on Saturday night - fortunately I was in the audience at the time and it was while my students were dancing.  It was the time slot that was supposed to be my solo & I gave it to them.  I miss Mason but I can accept that it was his time and I'm starting to move on.  I still wouldn't want to dance a solo in the next week or two but... I can start feeling new songs and choreography again.

itunes?

This morning - I decide I want to download some new music - it's been a while and I haven't had a lot of free time for listening to music or selecting new stuff.

Sign in to my account.

Find an album I want.

Add the $$ card that I've had lying around for 6 months or so to my account so that there is MONEY in the account to purchase the album.

Click on the album to purchase...............................

and - it won't let me buy the album without selecting THREE security questions and their corresponding answers.
no way to bypass.  and you MUST give them a second email address so that they can send you info on how to reset your account.

I don't have a credit card on file with them for a REASON.  

I think I'm going to be shopping around for an alternate music source.  Maybe it's time to go back to emusic.
