I love my local library, plus the other 2 I have library cards for in nearby communities. I already have plenty of books of my own to read, but I can't help but go look anyway. I have an MP3 player like many people do now, but I'm not excited about spending a lot of money on new music to put on my computer. I've already uploaded all the music from my own cds, and I have purchased music off of the internet before, but usually using a gift card someone else bought me. I like checking the libraries cd selection periodically to see if they have any new music, or any music I like period. I check out the cds and import the songs I want onto my computer, which then goes onto my MP3 player.
I also am not against borrowing cds from friends, but not many still own cds (at least not new ones). I think this is pretty thrifty and nifty. I don't share my library on the internet, it's just for my own use. I still do buy music ocassionally and rarely a cd, and I do enjoy checking out live music to hear new artists when I'm able to attend a concert or show. I do like that some online services offer some selections for under 99 cents now, and a free download once a week on iTunes. There are places that give free downloads out like Starbucks, but I rarely make it in to buy a coffee drink.
So rock on!
Notes From a Broad!
I love discovering both thrifty and nifty finds of all kinds. Something thrifty can come in many forms, it certainaly doesn't have to be a purchased item in my book. When it comes to being nifty, the possibilities are endless. What I find most exciting is when something is both thrifty and nifty. My goal is to write about what I've found and share it with others! Big or small, I'm glad to spread the wealth with knowledge.

Getting Started.
I've been browsing others blogs over the years and I've seriously been thinking about writing my own, and well today I'm doing it. If anyone actually ever reads my blog, please don't be offended by my title, or give me guff about it. I think my title choice it quite catchy and as far as I'm concerned I've taken ownership of the slang word "broad" and not the bad previous definitions! It came to mind almost immediately and I guess I couldn't think of anything I liked better.
The goal of my blog is to just express some of the thoughts and etc that I have everyday over just about anything! I'll do my best not to whine or complain, but it doesn't mean I won't whine, complain or perhaps rant about things either. I have a strong need to write period and this will be my opportunity and outlet to actually get some writing done! So I guess I'll see how this goes and hopefully it'll lead me the other creative pursuits I need to get going on too!
