>stupid wifi

Filed under: Weather
January 6, 2009

>yes, I know it is not the wifi that is stupid, but I don’t like saying it is garbage, as Tigger is fond of saying. I can’t get online right now, for some reason the wifi in the house isn’t working (although I did get on briefly) and the other internet connection I use is not connecting to the web. It tells me it is but when I try to go online I get that message that Firefox can’t find the server at . . .

So I am having to blog by e-mail from my phone and can’t check any of my website and invisibo friends. Not only that, but this is the only blog I can post to by e-mail, not that I have a review to post, I haven’t finished Nine Days Queen, still! Well I need to go, if I ever get online I will edit this post.

I made it on, it was simple really. I had my computer ‘repair’ the internet connection.

The weather is supposed to be really nasty tomorrow. I might not be going to work. If I don’t I will be here doing all my online stuff!

>Morning! (YAWN)

December 11, 2008

>I have gotten a little behind on my posting, so I decided to take a minute and say good morning before I have to fly out of here to work. I spent a little too much time with my books last night and am dragging this morning. Missed my train yesterday and was a wee bit late to work. Don’t want that to happen today, so I am leaving my warm cozy bed and getting dressed, yes I am, NOW, OK OK, I’m going!

>New bank account

Filed under: Uncategorized
December 10, 2008

>I decided to open a new checking account. I was planning on starting my savings account with this bank in the new year, you know, the one for my move. So I just to start earlier. Besides I just got an overdraft due to partially my own stupidity and partially the banks way of posting transactions. Anyway, I just got tired of it so I went and opened a new account. Now begins the process of changing things around. I already changed Amazon, I have to wait for my card to change some other things.

The box of books (well it wasn’t a box actually, it was a package no matter) has finally found it’s way to my bed where they are lying all scattered about. I put them in Shelfari and LibraryThing and put them in a post to be published on Monday for Mailbox Monday. Now I just have to find a place to put them until it is time to read them.

Tigger downloaded some episodes of Law & Order: C.I. for me. I have the 16GB I-Pod and so the whole season fits. What fun! I tried to find a nice picture to post here but couldn’t. I had to tell Em and she told me to shut up!

😛 to her.

>Happiness and then disappointment

Filed under: Miscellanea, Weather
December 9, 2008

>As I type this I am a little scared because the wind is blowing ferociously outside, well yes, I guess it is good it is outside, I can hear it and I can hear the snow shovel(it hangs on the outside of the shed wall under the deck) banging against the shed. I can also hear the leaves getting blown all around. It was starting as I got home from Target so it seems I missed the worst of it, I just have to listen to it. I am also freezing from it because the wind always blows my window open when it gets bad.

Anyway, to get back to my post title, my mom called, she got the Hershey pillow I sent her. So I was all excited because the other package I mailed was going to someplace close to where she lives, as soon as I could I checked my e-mail to see if the other package made it, no e-mail. So then I checked on the message board posts to see if it got there, no post. So now I am a little disappointed. Well, maybe tomorrow.

I have to go now and hang up my laundry. That was one benefit staying home, I got a load of laundry done. Oh and I stopped at the library and got the following book: The nine days queen: a portrait of Lady Jane Grey by Mary Luke. It is a biography.

>Lazy day

Filed under: Uncategorized

>I woke with a tummy ache. Not bad, but I didn’t feel like getting up, so I stayed home and I am posting this from my bed. Since I haven’t been up, I don’t have much to say, but I have to get up and do some cleaning, maybe some laundry and run an errand. Tigger ate all my Skittles® and SweeTarts®, so I am thinking maybe I will go up to Target. I have limited funds since I don’t get paid until tomorrow, but since I didn’t go to work today, I can spend the $10 I have left on candy.

As I type this I am listening to the radio, on my computer! I put in a band I listen to, so they played a song by them, then the next song, by a different band, that I also have the album! I thought that was kind of neat. So far I have liked every song they have played. You can rate the songs so it ‘customizes’ the songs played.

Anyway, I should get moving since I have to pick up some books from the library, except I changed my mind about reading them. I should also enter the books I got from Pam and Aggie in Shelfari(they are still in boxes in my closet) before I get the next shipment from her. I probably should do that now.

>First Day

Filed under: Uncategorized
December 1, 2008

>of the last month of 2008.

I think I am allergic to lamb. We had lamb chops last night, and I didn’t like them. OK that’s fine, but I got a really bad stomach ache from them, not a normal stomach ache a hurting needles in the stomach, stomach pain. Since I am allergic to wool, I guess it isn’t too much of a stretch to be allergic to the meat of the animal too.

Last night I was bored and so I went to Barnes & Noble, fatal mistake. Fatal to my budget that is! I bought three books. Two were on my list so that is ok, the other one, well, it was interesting looking. For the titles, check out my blog: Bella is reading.

Em sent me a text to tell me there was a bomb scare/threat at the H.S. and the MTA puppies were there. Nice puppies! Big teeth. I asked her if they bit anybody and she said no, they just sniffed the lockers while everyone waited outside. Dogs have the best jobs. I bought the oil for her friend and sent her a picture of the bottle. This is what my day consists of!

Cookie sent me an e-mail saying she likes drivel, keeps her mind off sad thoughts. I should have told her, if you want drivel, read my blog!

>Good night.

>I am just making a quick post before I hit the sack. I spent a lot of time online today. Mostly on my book sites updating my libraries. Of course they are virtual libraries. List of books I want to read I have 395 on Shelfari and 385 on LibraryThing. Only 212 are to be read.

I requested a couple of books from the library one is for a Shelfari discussion group and I don’t remember the other.

Other than that, Gwen and I had a good time at the meeting. We got to talk to friends we rarely see and after we went to Panera for lunch. We each got one of the two things, right now I can’t remember what they are called, soup and half sandwich, different soup and different sandwich. We were thinking we could continue our fun at home, but D was home. So we just went to our rooms. I have only been back upstairs to have dinner, I was going to watch L&O:CI but D wanted the news on. So I have been watching TV in the basement and working on my computer.

>Blogging

Filed under: Uncategorized
November 22, 2008

>I have been tweaking my other blogs. The reading one I converted to 3 columns. I found a website with the instructions on how to change the html code so it doesn’t change your widgets. So that is good. Since I succeeded with that one, I might change this one to 3 columns also. The craft one, I also changed, then put it back, I don’t need 3 columns on that one.

When I got up to Panera, I couldn’t find Gwen, so I sent a text to Em. She called me, Stitch brought her home early. She was a little miffed at him, since he picked me up from the train and didn’t tell me. So I drove all the way to Panera, after getting an MRI and having a pounding headache from it, and didn’t have to! When I said something to Stitch, he said something like, ‘I thought she was going to tell you, after all she was the one that decided to come home early.’ ARG!

They gave me a CD with the images on it. So I can look at slices of my brain on my computer, I was going to post one here, but they look kind of funny. I have no idea if they look like they are supposed to, hopefully the doctor knows what to look for.

Now I should really go to bed. If I decide to make any changes to this blog, it will have to wait until tomorrow. But in the meantime, check out my Bella is reading blog and see how nice it looks now.

>So tired today

Filed under: Weather
November 20, 2008

>You may have noticed that my list of books read in 2008 is not on the side or anywhere else on this blog. I put it on my ‘book’ blog. That is why I am so tired, I was up to 1:00 a.m. doing it. You see, I wanted to link the books to the reviews I had written, that meant I had to search for them, since I combined reviews on posts with other stuff, I couldn’t just look at the title of the post. Fortunately, I was using labels so I got most that way.

This morning Stitch drove me to the train. It was pretty cold but I started the car a few minutes before we left for the train so it was pretty warm in the car. Also this morning I learned that if your earbuds get yanked out of your ears, it doesn’t feel good.

>Another blog?

Filed under: Uncategorized
November 17, 2008

>Yes, I decided to start another blog, this with reading books and reviews and links to other book blogs. I call it ‘Bella is reading’. Click on Bella to take a look.

So now that I have played around with my new blog a little and moved my bookshelves over, on to some personal stuff. The doctor’s office called with the confirmation number for my MRI. My appointment is Friday and I am a little nervous. I mean, it is silly of me to be nervous. It’s not like they are going to be sticking needles into my brain or anything. And it is not like I have never done this before. One of the questions I was asked was, do you weigh less then 300 pounds? I also picked a bad time to get it done, this Friday, Em is going to a party at Ann’s and D decided to have their family study that night so none of the kids can go with me. I will have to brave it alone.
