Went to bed at 2:30AM and rose briefly at about 7:10AM to turn the alarm off. I lay back down and did not take Alex to the bus. Mom took him, I woke up at 7:45AM and soon after got a shower. I am sleepy, but am staying up. There are things I need to get done.
I checked in on BlogShares and thankfully things look better this morning. I bought some more stock in several different blogs. I have this thing with these kind of games, years ago in like 1991 I bought a game that was stock market stuff and I played it constantly. Such things fascinate me. Does not take much to entertain me.
I am going into town a while. Business to which I must attend. Mom is anxious for the rent so I must cash a check and give her my money. The books are due at the library so I must stop by there and renew some items. Mom wants to pay her insurance so we will stop by the agent. She also has some gift cards at Borders so we may stop by there. I think she will probably give me at least one of the $25.00 cards, so that will be nice. We will have lunch too, not sure where we will eat, she says she does not want to choose so I must pick. I am not really hungry for any special thing so the choice will be difficult.
I added a few more links on here. I hope to put some more of the books I read last year on later. I just have not been dedicated to that because frankly I do not remember much about some of the books. Seems when you read so many as I did last year that some get lost in the mix.
Well, I better get going. Thank you all for being so kind. I’ll write more when I get home.
Smiles,
Jo Ann

Jo Ann -I love Borders. We have one about five minutes from the house, so that\’s nice. I could wonder around in there for hours!Hope you do get a gift card, you\’ll have to let us know what you get in the event you do get one.Stephen
Jo Ann: Glad you get to go to Borders. One of my favorite places. In addition to the books, it\’s a great place to pick up people…not that I would really know anything about that.And I see you are like me, in that you love to photograph clouds. Well, the sky in general. That says a lot to me. It means you are always looking up. I\’m not a psychologist, but it seems healthy to me.
Borders is one of my favorite places, but I have to stay away a lot of the time, too expensive. I like to meander around in there too. Borders is where I usually meet my online dates, that way if I am not comfortable I can just leave and there is really no pressure. Not that I have ever actually done that, but it is always good to know you can. I walk around with the guys and try to gauge how into books they are because I really don\’t want to spend time with someone who does not read. I read a lot. That and computing takes up a good bit of my time and I want someone who can entertain themselves near me while I am doing it.Photographing the sky is actually kind of new to me, but I had several shots at the end of a roll and the sky looked interesting. I was standing in a parking lot at the time. I do love to look at the sky maybe it is a positive thing.Smiles,Jo Ann
Jo Ann,Hi! I\’ve been stopping by occasionally and thought it about time I stuck my head in and said Howdy! Great space you have here. Love what you\’ve done with the place! 🙂 Your writing is wonderful and like so many have pointed out, you\’re so kind and encouraging to the rest of us. You should be so kind to yourself as well. You deserve it!Nothing wrong with pics of clouds, I have several myself. Sometimes it\’s God\’s way of giving you that perfect picture of a perfect day. Borders is one of my favorites too. Starbucks is there! Well at least around here, you\’ll find Starbucks inside the Borders stores. Gotta\’ love that Starbucks! Yep, I\’m truly addicted! Love wondering the store too, but Starbucks gets me in the door. No time for reading….too much of life to live and too little time to live it! HEY! My new motto, what do ya\’ think?!Anyway, have a GREAT evening and an even better tomorrow. Loved the Kirby vac story. It was great!Twila
Thanks for poking your head in Twila. Glad you commented, thanks for the kind compliments. I just post whatever happens onto the screen. I am trying to be kinder to myself. I llike the Mocha Freezes at Borders, but don\’t splurge on one often.The sky pictures remind me how small I am in the scheme of things. I like to shoot them once in a while.I like your new motto. I tend to read a lot. I have to have input.That story has just been waiting around to be told. Finally worked its way loose. I love Kirbys. Have had them in the house ever since I can remember and the demos I saw while young still come back to me. I would sell Kirbys again if it did not demand so much time. There is not a dealer near here either.Smiles,Jo Ann
