| I've been going through a whole lotta stuff the past few months and blogging has been real low on the priority list. So, if she still wants to take over, I'm turning posting duties over to another sweet thang. I tried to change the user name, but it costs $10. 8-( I also tried to delete all my posts, but it has to be done one by one. Double 8-( I'll occasionally be found over on another b-l-o-g site. God bless all y'all sweet friends! Have a JESUS-filled day! ^i^ | | |
| EDIT: It helps if I include the link, eh? 
Also, once I hit 200 books, I learned that it's only free up to 200. However, a lifetime membership is a bargain! Duller agrees, since this project has a fringe benefilt. My house is getting a lot cleaner/neater as I progress. 8-} Is that possible? I've discovered LibraryThing and have been cataloguing my vast collection. I'm up to 164 books and almost finished... ...in the bedroom.Oh yeah, I've barely scratched the surface. I'm just about to get to the office, then I'll move on to the spare room, the family room, the living room... I'm hoping to be done by Christmas. Then I can start on the boxes.  This site is so cool! I'm re-discovering treasures I forgot I ever saw, much less owned. You can store a catalogue of your books and sort them alphabetically, by author, by date, by Dewey, by ISBN, by date acquired, by date read... and Idano how many other ways. You can hook up with people all over the world who share your interests. And it isn't just a list... there are pictures. Yes, you can actually SEE the covers. If an actual cover isn't in their database, you can hunt one down and they'll download it... or choose from 51 generic covers. Oh, and you can get free books if you sign up to be a reviewer. And there are contests. The current one ends tomorrow at noon EDT, so hurry on over there! Have a JESUS-filled day! In Christ Alone,

| ... Beatrix Potter! 
Just a little ketchup here... Duller is no longer working in Jax. He got a better position here. It's only supposed to last about a year, so our house is going back on the market in a couple weeks. The lawn mower broke and Duller decided he was getting too old to keep pushing it around several acres, anyhow. So we headed for Lowe's and he picked out a Troy-Bilt lawn tractor. I convinced him he might as well splurge and spend $200 more to get the better model. Then I spotted the Husqvarnas. Since I had to part with my YELLOW truck, ORANGE is my new colour. 8-] (No worries, it won't last forever.  ) It was yet another $200, so I wasn't going to push it. (No pun intended. LOL!) But I did sit on it, just to pass the time waiting for the salesman. Duller balked, but I insisted he sit on the Troy-Bilt and he found it a bit uncomfortable. SO I moved over and let him sit on the big orange. Oh, well, what's another $200 at this point? LOL! Since my emergency room (the gallstones that wouldn't die) Valentine's Day episode, I've drastically cut the fat in my diet and lost another 10 lbs. Not a lot, I know, but I haven't put any other effort into it. I am determined, though, to reach my goal before Christmas, so I'm clearing out the office-turned-home-gym (red treadmill and trampoline) so I can actually get to the equipment and make good use of it. Meanwhile, I'm trying to decide whether I should go ahead and paint or leave everything white. Would a really nice splash of colour speed up a sale or should I leave everything white? Duller's car is in the shop. DS picked a fight with a pine tree and lost. No human injuries, just a nearly $2000 repair bill. There goes the rest of my mad money for this year.  He wasn't cited, though, so PTL for that answered prayer! Reckon that just about covers the news and un-news since I was last here. Now to start catching up on all y'all.

| Hey! I'm trying to get back in the xanga habit. Not as easy as the first time, but... well, I'm trying. 8-}

I was looking for a good picture of my favourite formerly-owned car, my 72 Javelin, and came across this article. The first 2 pics are the closest I've found to the colour I had. Only mine was gun-metal all over... no blue hood and spoiler. Coincidentally, my house-mate at the time bought a yellow one the same week. We never planned it, but it was mighty cool having two Javs in the driveway. Mine was, by far, the cooler one, of course. 8-] Ah, what I wouldn't give to have one of those again.

| Does it get much worse then being sick during Christmas? UGH! Last Monday, we did our annual DS"s birthday dinner at Scarlet Crustacean. That night, I lost it... couldn't even keep water down the first 24 hours. Yep, a nice raging case of food poisonong, which I think muct have been from the clams. I can honestly say I've never been this sick in my entire life before. A week later and I'm finally eating and digesting properly again... hoe free, right? *sigh* The back of my leg started itching this afternon and I discovered a couple of welts there. Assuming I had been bittern by a creepy crawly - we do live in the woods, after all - I splashed some vinegar on it and went back to wrapping presents. Another itch... hmmm... more welts... good grief! Am I being devoured by bed bugs or what? Next thing I knew, both legs were welty and one popped up on my arm. I've never had hives before, but I reckon that's what this is. The only one that still itches is the one I didn't immediately vinegarize. Hours later and they're not as red and the first ones are not quite as puffy. But a few minutes ago, another one popped up... on my .. er - don't peek, Rob - cheek. Please agree with me in prayer that there will be no more! That by tomorrow, this will all be a bad memory. I hope the rest of y'all are having a wonderfully blessed, JESUS-filled Christmas!
Don't forget to wish Jesus a Happy Birthday! | | |
