A New Pet Peeve

Posted in Me

Even though I love Enrique and ABBA and various other groups and genres (from Latin to country to classical to whatever), I don't make you listen to them.  I invite you to, I might provide a link, but then it is your choice to click it or not, to listen or not.  It's your loss if you don't want to listen to Enrique, but again, I'm not going to force you into it.

This is my new pet peeve.  When I visit a blog, I don't want music to play.  Ever.  No matter what music it is.  I don't know how to turn it off - I don't know if I can turn it off.  Very often, I am already listening to Enrique and the blog's music then goes over it.  That is annoying.  Decorate your blog however you would like, give me any links you love, but please, don't put music on.  I visited a blog for the first and last time tonight, where the writer had put a youtube link of a scene from Mamma Mia!, but I couldn't even click on it and listen to it because her other music was playing!  And let me tell you, Pierce Brosnan's voice does not improve with other unrelated music on top of it!

And if you wonder how I am doing at 38 1/2 weeks pregnant, I am hot, tired, grumpy, huge, and prone to finding new pet peeves! ;-)

I get so frustrated when I hear music popping up. It's even worse when it's OFFENSIVE music. And it's LOUD. And I have to rush to get the music turned off, assuming I can find the thingy-ma-bob.

My two most beloved things are books and brownies! Join me here for book reviews and comments about homeschooling my 6 children still at home (ages 13 to 1). My oldest son is in college. I also muse about my own language studies and my attempts to make my children bilingual. Thanks for stopping by!
