Posted in 2008, New Year's, To Kill A Mockingbird, upcoming plans on December 31, 2007 | 9 Comments »
It won’t arrive for over 12 hours in my time zone but I’m thinking ahead.
In the coming year, blog-wise, I plan some interesting (at least to me) things. One of the most important is to develop my Must Read page. I haven’t done what I wanted to do with that list. I believe it will [...]

Okay, so we aren’t calling them memes anymore. So that means I can make up my own rules.
My rules:
1. INVITE people, don’t tag!
2. Just do the parts you want to do; skip the rest!
3. Have fun; don’t stress!
My topic today is 13 Things I Should Be Doing Now But I’m Not!
1. I should be doing [...]
Posted in Christmas, Hoopla!, no more memes on December 26, 2007 | 5 Comments »
This is a response to Smiler’s post. I won’t tag. I just needed a quick post idea, thanks! I know a lot of this makes it sound like I don’t like Christmas but nothing could be further from the truth. I love it. But it’s over and so here we go with some post Christmas [...]
Posted in Borders books, clueless, store clerks on December 22, 2007 | 8 Comments »
I was at Borders earlier this evening and while at the Customer Self Serve Info counter, I overheard one of the clerks answer the phone, now mind you, she’s a Customer Information Clerk.
Clerk: I’m sorry but I don’t know what kind of books you mean.
Pause
Clerk: Oh, talking books! You mean audio books, right? Okay, what’s [...]
Posted in Ebay, auctions on December 17, 2007 | 7 Comments »
Once a year I put about $300 into my Paypal account so it is there if I need to buy anything on Ebay or elsewhere. My daughter often finds things and asks me to pay for them for her on Paypal because she doesn’t have an account. This year I spent most of the $300 [...]
Posted in holiday spirit, post office, waiting in line on December 14, 2007 | 9 Comments »
I usually hate to go to the post office. A trip there is usually at least an hour lost. However, some things are just not avoidable all year round. I’ve had to go there four times in the past week and a half. I pick the smaller post office where [...]
Posted in Barack, Borat, Obama, Osama, candidates, what's in a name? on December 12, 2007 | 9 Comments »
I don’t watch The View. I used to. I got tired of the cross-talk and the utterly stupid things said on that show; things that people take as gospel. Often, however, the show is on in the background as I blog. It was this morning.
Posted in faith, holiday lights, magic, simplicity on December 10, 2007 | 8 Comments »
We were driving around the other night and noticed all the houses lit up for the holidays. Most had elaborate lights with decorations in their front lawns and some had piped in music. There were ooohs and ahhhs all around. A while later, after we were done looking at the lights and [...]
Posted in Amazon, Best Buy, Borders, Christmas shopping, life's challenges, okay so I'm cheap, shipping and handling fees on December 7, 2007 | 7 Comments »
One reason I hate to shop online is the shipping and handling charge that is added to my order. Just now I was placing an Amazon.com order. I have the Amazon Prime free 2 day shipping so I was ordering lots. My total before taxes and shipping was over $300. Then I realized that they [...]
Posted in dishonesty, honesty, innocence, reality on December 5, 2007 | 7 Comments »
I have a number of blogs. In this one I choose to remain anonymous. In others, not so much.
I’ve always had a problem with lying or half-truths. I can’t do it. I’m not good at operating under a cloak of secrecy. I tend to tell the truth, always. This is a problem because when I [...]
