CD Journey

Awhile ago I had embarked on a journey to log every song on all of my burned cds.  Well the project is still ongoing and almost complete.  When I say almost, I mean I’m on my last case that holds about 200 then I have to type them all out.  While on my journey I have found quite a few duplicates which is great because that’s one less that I have to go through.  I did find a quick way to cheat though and because of this it has moved along much quicker. Thank you Shazaam (only the most awesome app EVER).  Once I get all of my cds figured out they are going into a word document, then printed, placed in sheet protectors and into a binder they will go.  The next time I get a song stuck in my head it will no longer be “I can’t remember which cd it’s on” it will be consulting the Binder of Music Greatness.  It’s been quite a project, but a fun one as I have discovered many songs that I completely forgot I had.

Awesome weekend

So Craig and I decided to do Valentine’s Day early, even though he knows how I feel about Valentines, he still wanted to do something.  We went to Old Sugar Mill (more on that in a minute) for a wine and chocolate thing, then off to Miners Leap winery for more wine and chocolate.  Needless to say I was very “happy” by the time we were done.  We went to dinner at Guisti’s in Walnut Grove afterwards.  It’s little bar/restaurant that has interesting décor but very good food and a lot of it.  Craig’s Grandparents grew up in the delta region, so they are framed on the wall when you walk in which I thought was pretty cool.  He has a lot of family history in the delta; it’s interesting to listen to. As we were driving along the river road, I saw a few houses that were boarded up.  So I decided that when I win the lottery, I will buy one and restore it to its glory and then get my claw foot bathtub that I want so badly.

Old Sugar Mill

The Sugar Mill is perhaps one of the coolest places around and is located in Clarksburg.  It was built back in the 1930’s and closed in 1993 and Clarksburg is this quaint little delta town.  The buildings are just beautiful and pretty much all brick.  They retrofitted one of the buildings to house 8 different wineries.  Outside of the main building there is a hidden winery in the back by the name of Draconis.  So you could say they house 9 wineries if you want to get technical about it.  You are able to go walking around in the other buildings, just need to be careful as they are old, a lot of rust and holes on the upper floors.  Craig and I explored one of the buildings up to the third level.  We didn’t go up to the fourth level, but will next time we go out there.  Even if you don’t drink wine, you should go just to walk around and check it out.  It’s beautiful and highly recommended for some awesome pictures.
