>I decided

Filed under: Uncategorized
September 25, 2008

>I started reading Sleep No More by Greg Iles. It is not the type of book that I would normally read, and after Mortal Fear, I wasn’t sure I would like it. So far I do and I will continue to read it, but I am not sure if I will finish it. I might even get more books by him. Not buy, but borrow from the library.

That reminds me, I need to check the Queens library to see if my other book is in. They haven’t fixed my e-mail address so I am not getting notifications from them when my books come in.

I was just reading one of the blogs I follow and she had a story about a dead snake in a classroom and the teacher told the student to put it in the outside trash can. Someone commented she was getting Americanized because she should have said dust bin. It reminded me of when I made a carrot cake for Tom and it didn’t turn out. I told someone about the cake and she asked me, was any of it salvageable, I remember I said, “No, it went straight into the dust bin.” She looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. I have no idea why I said that since I’m not British, maybe I had been watching BBC America the night before.

One more thing before I go, I think a skunk has taken refuge under our back deck, I heard some noises earlier, it is raining now and there is a terrible smell coming in my window, smell like wet skunk.

>Here’s an easy challenge!

Filed under: Uncategorized
September 24, 2008

>Check out this challenge! It’s at MyFriendAmy’ blog and it challenges us to get a nonreader to read and us already readers to read more! Here are Amy’s ROE!

It’s called the Read One Book Challenge.

Here are the rules.

1) Read one book you have never read before by December 31st, 2008.

2) This book must not be a children’s book that you are reading to your kids. It must be a book for you.

3) This book may not be part of work related research. This book is for you.

4) It can be fiction or nonfiction.

5) Please leave a comment telling me you’re joining in and write a post linking back to this post to invite others to join in as well (if you have a blog, if not just leave a comment!).

6) For bonus points, spend an evening at a Barnes and Noble, Borders, or local independent bookshop browsing through books. (apparently there’s a huge percentage of people who don’t go to bookstores, either)

7) When you’ve completed your book write a post about it and I’ll link to it here!

If you are like Amy and read 2-4 books a week, please still join in though you’ll probably complete the challenge a lot faster than others. One ten dollar Amazon gift card will be awarded through random drawing to a person who signs up and completes the challenge on time.

So get thee over and sign up!!

>I am been derelict in my thanks

I want to thank Brit Gal’ in the USA (see link below) for her black box, it is really fun. It is this box on her blog, that you click on your choices and it magically transports you all over the blog world. Well, that’s my explanation for it. Last night I went to a blog called “Random Chick” (I think), the first post I read mentioned TA DA “Brit Gal’ in the USA”, anyway, she had a link to a site where you could make your own seal, that is where I got my princess seal, click on it to go to the site and make your own seal. The next time I went to a blog by a man who calls himself, Ziggy, or Zaggy, maybe Jazzy(?) hmm, Jaggy! That’s it! (see blog list below, silly me). He is in Scotland, very interesting. So now I am following two blogs by British people and one by a Scotsman. And I owe it all to Sarah, the Brit Gal’. I limit myself to two times on the black box because I was warned it is very addictive. I already spend too much time on the computer.

Oh, and how did I find Sarah, through Bonnie or Sherri I forget, but you can find her through my link.

>Win Philippa Gregory’s New Novel The Other Queen!

Filed under: Uncategorized
September 19, 2008

>Book Club Girl is giving away ten copies of Philippa Gregory’s newest novel The Other Queen, plus ten Book Club Girl mousepads.

Check out the giveaway at Book Club Girl here.

Just had to adjust the time zone on this blog. When I posted my comment to enter to win this book, I wrote which books of hers I have read (if you are interested, check out the list on the right). I haven’t read any of her historical fiction about the royal family. I liked all the books by her I have read though. I am sure a lot of people will enter.

I also sent an e-mail to Peter Robinson. I have no idea why, I have never done, well, actually, I have been posting to Gary C. King on Shelfari.

>Repair work continues

Filed under: Uncategorized

>Last night I got out my album and put in the Concerts, Plays and Movies I have seen. I don’t know if it is a complete list, frankly, I don’t remember if I got information from anywhere else when I made the first list.

I added a Salada Tag Line, I am adding all the ones I get now even the ones I don’t like or don’t understand.

I was seriously considering leaving early but didn’t, now it is too late but I am having a hard time doing anything my head is hurting today. I don’t know if I should take Tylenol® or Aleve®. It is a headache but my neck is tight also. I just took 2 Aleve®. We will see how that works.

So the Aleve® sort of worked. I didn’t make it to Allsport but I did go to Borders. I used my two coupons to get a Zagat guide and the Moleskin New York book. I also got Love, Lies, and Murder by Gary C. King. He wrote Blood Lust which I loved. I was looking for Driven to Kill but they didn’t have it.

And Cookie sent me this ring. It is a secret why she sent it. All will be revealed later. I put it on because she asked me if I was wearing it, I took a picture and sent it to her.

And just in case you didn’t know, today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

I put a book in a bag to bring to work to read & what am i doing? Sending e-mails to my blog, why you ask?, because it is more fun! I have an idea about something to do with this i will get back to you. The book i brought is No Regrets by Ann Rule. I am going to start reading now.

I was going to stop at the park to do this but it looks like rain so i decided to stop at the coffee shop. I do have to go soon because I need to pee and get back to work. Someday I need to fill in the blanks from our nightmare flight home but can’t right now, so I will say ttfn and bbl

It just started raining as i walked across the parking lot

Updating & checking

April 28, 2008

So I hope this goes through. I am using my phone to access Hotmail. I hope v-cast is right so I don’t get charged for this.

Saturday was the SPCA dog parade. The middle school marching band was there so we were there.

Sunday was sad. In January no more separate bookstudy, it is going to be before the ministry school. M said they had to decide if they should raise Bethelites allowances or reduce their expenses. They decided to reduce expenses!

It is raining today and l missed the early train. Tigger has already sent me a text asking for cinnamon. I bought him some at the deli. I sent him a text message saying I bought some cinnamon for you. I got the regular kind for you at the store with the dusty tins.

I was down this morning, don’t know how much I haven’t tracked it yet. I am getting back into my weight training, that is what really makes the difference for me.

138.4

I went to Allsport this evening. D and the boys (the two youngest) went to play racquetball. The texts Tigger sent me seem to indicate they had a good time. He said D was going to get a membership so they would be there more often.

I did some more typing on my other blog. I am describing the craft items and how I made them, where I got the ideas etc.

I am getting ready for bed and am starting to get stomach ache. Probably from what I am eating. I am going to drink a big glass of water and then go to bed. It will be a good thing to go to sleep before midnight.

Hi there

Filed under: Crafts, Technology
April 18, 2008

I haven’t read the thread so I don’t know if any BTers have gone to my new “crafting” blog. I will have to redo it with comments and descriptions about the different things on it. I thought I had more pictures than that. I think I do, they are just not digital, so I would have to scan them to put them in. I don’t feel like doing that. I could take pictures of some of the necklaces and things that I kept and didn’t take pictures of, maybe tonight. I should have taken pictures of more things.

Tomorrow M has planned to go to Woodbury Commons. I was thinking I could get some Crocs, but they don’t have a store there. I want some for my trip. I don’t want to get too many things before I go, I want my Mom to have the pleasure of buying me some things. 😉

Gwen’s phone came today. She has already sent some text messages. When I activated in the basement with my computer, I sent a text to Tigger from the phone, 1 minute later she was knocking on my door, “I want my phone!” She is very happy with it. She set up her signature, Princess { :), a tiara on top of her smiley face.

Staying Alive

Filed under: Family N Friends, Health, Work
April 1, 2008

Yesterday and today, I have been having a devil of a time staying awake. I wonder if I can blame it on having a bagel for breakfast instead of oatmeal. You know, the wheat allergy problem? Anyway, I was sitting here and nodding off and I heard a voice calling my name, it was Prestina and she was asking, “Is that you?” I was looking at my blog, which has my picture on it and that was what she was asking about.

Speaking of my blog, I forgot to mention what happened at Allsport last night, after I was done with my workout, I suddenly ran out of Women’s Fitness, I thought I had wet my pants, turned out, the wetness I felt was not urine, it was sweat! Time to switch from workout pants to workout shorts, or maybe I’ll pick up a pair of those workout skirts at Target.

I went to Target and got a workout skort, it wasn’t on the clearance rack yet, but I was tired of waiting. I got a pair of shorts that were on the clearance rack for $5. I also got a new sports bra, I have 4 or 5, but they are old and some of then the elastic is coming out. Then I went to the boys department to get a boys extra-large tank top to wear over my sports bras. It is longer than the shorts. I am wearing the skort and it is very comfortable.
