>and it was going to say I probably shouldn’t be sending an e-mail to my BLOG when I am mad enough to KILL someone, but who else can I talk to when I have a homicidal urge? I don’t think most people would understand. In fact I think they would try to TALK ME OUT OF IT, when I don’t want to be talked out of it. However, I went for a walk and now I don’t feel like killing anyone, in fact I have kind of a sick headache now.

This is the first time that I’ve participated in the Tuesday Thingers weekly question. Marie from The Boston Bibliophile hosts this fun meme.
Today’s question: Early Reviewers- do you participate? How many books (approximately) have you received through the program? Have you liked them generally? What’s your favorite ER book? Do you participate in the discussion group on LT?
I joined Early Reviewers in August of this year and got a book the first time out. I have just finished it and have not as yet written my review but will be before the weekend. I liked this book ‘Hell Bent’ by William G. Tapply but since I have only got one book I can’t answer the favorite question. I don’t usually participate in the discussion group.
>I had a cheryl crow earworm this morning. That’s what happens when I read random G.D.T. threads in the morning. I was up way to late last night and I didn’t even get anything done. Tigger has the baby assignment, kind of funny his partner is a boy. Em says, “Tigger and KM adopted twins.” two each two pound bags of rice.
I changed my purse and I forgot to put my ID in the purse I brought today. I feel bad cause I like this purse better then the expensive EB one I bought. I just need to get the black one for winter.
Stitch has my car today, normally he doesn’t so I don’t know what is going to happen tonight, if I will have to get Gwen or if I can go to Allsport. I feel like I haven’t been in forever and really need to go.
My sniffles have morphed into a real cold and I am getting a head pressure feeling. I really should go now. I think I have said everything I need to say.
I finished reading Hell Bent by William G. Tapply and have posted a review on Shelfari and LibraryThing. You can click here to go to my review on LibraryThing. I do not want to post it here since it is a fairly long review but I enjoyed the book. I don’t feel like running out and getting more Brady Coyne Novels, but it was an enjoyable read.
>Today is a holiday for school children and civil service employees (ME!). Tigger was wearing the same dirty shirt and shorts he had on yesterday. When I commented about them he said, “So, I’m not going anywhere.” Now I have been known to wear clothes more than once, but only if they didn’t get dirty. These clothes he had on were filthy! He’s not a little kid, he’s a junior in High School! Is this normal? I don’t remember being like that when I was in school, then again I am a girl, (always have been too!) so maybe that is why.
Time to go to Allsport, I have my workout clothes on and just have to check things out upstairs before I go. I am taking my camera because I want to take some pictures of leaves while I am out and about.
Still haven’t gone yet. Em wanted to go at 4:00 so I am waiting for her. I did go to get some leaf pictures but where I went there were plenty of leaves, but no place to pull over. There is still the tree by the vet’s office. I may make a quick trip there.
Gwen took pictures of the things she wants to sell so I have to post them tonight along with the dolls, that I keep putting off. Well I’m off, again!
>Yesterday I told you had to move stuff from the rolling cart. I enlisted Gwen’s help. I decided not to just move stuff but to also throw out stuff I didn’t need. In the bottom I found a backpack full of yarn along with a started afghan or blanket whichever you want to call it. I think there is a difference but I don’t know what it is.
The backpack was moldy so I had to throw it out. Fortunately the backpack had a plastic lining and the yarn was in plastic bags so it was O.K. After we got down with the cleaning and everything Gwen and I went out. I took her to the bank to cash her paycheck then we went to the mall, got lunch, got ice cream and I got some containers to put the yarn from the backpack in.
I thought one would be big enough, but to be on the safe side I got two, so now all the yarn in my computer room that was hanging in bags is in a nice plastic container. I have no idea where the pattern is that I was using for the afghan, I don’t even remember what book it was in, so I just made up a pattern out of my head, I just started it on what was already done, so it looks kind of weird, but I am writing it down so I can recreate it. Then last night when everyone was at the movie about the windshield wiper guy, I stayed home and knitted.
Today after church I wanted to go to Allsport, I also wanted to take pictures of leaves, but I really didn’t feel up to it. Then I remembered that tomorrow is a holiday, so I can do all that tomorrow. Maybe instead of driving around, I will take a walk and take pictures.
>Last night before I left work I made some tea and put it in my travel cup, worked out pretty good. This morning I had to take my car in so I made some tea (PG Tipps) and had that while I took it in and walked home. Later I got a call from the dealer, the transmission fluid needs to be changed and the serpentine belt needs to be changed. That’s the belt that controls the power steering. So I told them do the fluid change, I will bring it back for the other. Can’t afford to do both at the same time. Now I wish I hadn’t ordered those bras from Victoria’s Secret.
Tigger and I took the purple table out of my computer room last night. It was a good thing I complained that I couldn’t do it alone and he helped me because we had to move my fridge and take the table apart. I am also glad I swept and mopped the floor last night because the new (to me) blue table is already in there. Of course my work is not done, the blue table has been sitting around so long it is covered with dust and cobwebs and needs to be cleaned before anything can go on it. Also, the blue table wouldn’t fit in there with the brown rolling cart, so I need to take everything out of there and put it somewhere.
So why am I sitting here instead of doing it? Well, because D is moving stuff from his workroom to the new shed and I can’t go in and out of room so I can move stuff from the rolling cart to wherever I am putting it. Although I could be in the room cleaning the table off, but this is more fun. Also, I am all congested from the cleaning I did last night and I really don’t want to do it unless I have a dust mask.
This morning it was chilly when I went to the dealer with my car so I wore a sweat suit and pants. I just had to change them because now it is quite sunny.
>Last night when I was going home, I was hungry, not surprising, I am always hungry when I leave work. I decided to get tea instead of getting something to eat. I stopped at my usual place and got tea with fat free milk. It tasted funny. I thought maybe because they put regular milk in it, but then I noticed the tag said organic tea and realised, it’s not a funny milk taste, its the tea that tastes funny. Now I know there are people who will take issue with my stance and say that it doesn’t or its better or whatnot, I say: DON’T MESS WITH MY TEA! So from now on, I will be making my own tea and putting it in a travel cup to take home. Also, I think I will only be buying PG Tipps. It really does taste better.
>on the message boards then I remembered it’s Yom Kippur. Kids off from school mean mom’s are busy so are not posting, or kids are hogging the computer.
Anyway, my phone came yesterday and I was up late activating it and checking it out. It seems to be working much better then the old one. Of course now I don’t have any of my appointments or custom ringtones. I repurchased one of them so nothing better happen with this phone.
I think I might be coming down with a cold. I am stuffed up and you know how some people get cold sores on their lips? Well I get these sores inside my nose when I get a cold. My poor nose really hurts. I am going to have to remember my Neti pot tonight.
The neti pot is really helping me breath now. Although my nose is still a little itchy and sore. I also took my peppermint so hopefully my tummy will feel better tomorrow. I really should be going to bed. I partook in some retail therapy. I am not posting pictures of what I bought, I will just say I got them from Victoria’s Secret.
