Well hello there, dear reader, happy to have you with me for another installment of: Today I actually did everything right, yay!!! So you should have much improved audio quality.

Hi all! I was apprehensive about remembering how I did all of the new technological mumbo jumbo I did last week, and indeed we had a few snafus on this week's episode of: :0 First of all, I'm pretty sick, so I sound like Death Warmed Over. Lovely, yes I know. And THEN, the inevitable happened. I started the video, and had adjusted my audio recorder sound and all that good stuff, and I started chatting away, and nearly 15 minutes later when I stopped the video, do you want to know what I discovered, dear blog follower? Yep, I had forgotten to hit the start button on the audio recorder. Sometimes I am SO.INCREDIBLY.PREDICTABLE. By that juncture, my voice was *worse* if that's even POSSIBLE from talking so much, and the spirit of re-recording was just not in me. So I had to grab the audio from the video, and in the process, the audio isn't fantastic, I'll tell you that. You'll have to turn your volume up a bit this week. Plus, you can hear a few notification sounds that came up on my machine while I was finagling this, so, SO sorry. A learning experience, I'll only get better from here, I promise!! OK, so this week I discuss this new podcasting enterprise (instructions for subscribing are below) and also the state of my New Year's resolutions. How are yours going, dear reader? These new podcast episodes of Tea Time will be about 10-15 minutes each week. I'm allowing myself to be a bit chattier since you have an audio only option now. :-) To subscribe to the audio version of Tea Time with Tiffany, just search for it in iTunes or use this link to subscribe on Feedburner to your podcatcher of choice.

Oh! I mentioned maybe signing up for a new fitness class for one lunchtime a week at work. Do you have one that you go to and like? Zumba? Pilates? Yoga? Give me all the deets, I'd love to hear them!

Hi everybody! This week I am particularly enthused about our time together for: Something new this week, and I discuss it in the video, but you may notice that there is a link to download the audio file this time. Ooohhh, Tiffany, you're trying something new, ooo la la! Yes, yes, very exciting, right?! *To download the audio file, select the column icon (it will say "See more Formats at Internet Archive" when you hover over it) to head over to the hosting page. From a desktop: right click on the MP3 option on the right side of the screen, and select "Save Link As..." Then save the file to your computer or connected device. From your mobile device: click on the mp3 file, then press and hold on the play arrow. An option to save the file will come up. Indeed, I may move to libsyn or Sound Cloud to host the files soon, as that would be a lot better for both you and me. But that costs money, so I'm working up to that. ;-) I'll keep you posted! Items discussed (or meant to discuss. d'oh!) in this episode: St. Peregrine NovenaSt. Francis de Sales feast day is January 29th, and his novena will begin January 20th.My home over at the Internet Archive as the Catholic Librarian.Don't forget I have all of those chaplets to pray along with too!So, do you like having the new audio option? Do you have other audio ideas for me? I'd love to hear them. :)
