I have made two big purchases in the last month and this is the first: I have been looking for these all my life. Or at least since I determined that I required my own library. I found them at Crate & Freakin’ Barrel,… Continue Reading “Bookcases”
A Blog of Note led me to an article in the Economist about the Kindle. Part of it talks about how Kindle is not to books what iPod was to CDs. But here is what I really liked: “So far, says Mr Kessel, this… Continue Reading “Even More about the Kindle”
There was a McD’s on my route this morning while I was running errands. I went through the drive-thru (I am pretty sure it is spelled that way in Ronald McDonaldland) window and ordered a hot chocolate (nonfat with no whipped cream). So. Much.… Continue Reading “Another McCafé”
I was in junior high school when I discovered the wonderful, wonderful world of bath products. Before I knew any more about skin care than benzoyl peroxide (which I am sure I could have properly spelled at the time), I was spending my daddy’s… Continue Reading “Dirty, Dirty Traitor”
When I started loading my first iPod, I was picking and choosing my music. It held only 4GB, so for the most part, everything on there had a purpose. Now I am loading the Grandaddy iPod with everything in the house. I am astonished… Continue Reading “Weekend Progress”

This, Ladies and Gentlemen, is a charger station. I had so many cords and plugging and unplugging and the Blackberry can’t last the weekend without some juice so I picked this up at Bed Bath & Beyond. Pictured are the Kindle my brother gave… Continue Reading “It Has Come to This”
I have been on a mission from God for a pair of decent boots. I have cute leather ankle boots, but last year’s attempt at something warm and relatively waterproof that did not involve the word Ugg failed miserably. I looked online and found… Continue Reading “Shoes Again”
Among the 10,000 Christmas ornaments in my house are several pieces from Star Wars. Millenium Falcons and X-Wing fighters and even a couple of Darth Vaders. I got into a scuffle with my sister-in-law, whose only allowable ornaments are hand-crafted by someone she knows… Continue Reading “Where I Draw the Line”
