Couple of things from my brain

Book Exchange, anyone?





Everywhere I look, ie- anywhere I have been, I see books! Tons and tons of books I have read. Circle K and I are boring old married farts and sometimes like to prowl around Barnes and Noble. Well, he prowls, I manage to simply grab some gossip magazines, read them, returned them and then hit my favorite section; The Bargain Book Section!!




No trip is ever complete without both of us gathering three to four new books. Circle K pays full price, but not my tight-wad self. I only buy the ones from the bargain section and only ones that I think I will read.




Just last night, I finished a Danielle Steel book that I purchased at a garage sale. Another hobby of mine- trolling garage sales looking for that perfect find. I really want to find a cool chandelier for my bathroom, but I never have. As a consolation prize, I purchase books.




Now, my house is overtaken with these random purchases. I know, I know. If Dave Ramsey reads this he will chastise me up and down for such frivolous purchases, but they are for my brain, not my vanity. (or so I rationalize to myself.)




Anyone in the blogging world want to start a book exchange program? Sort of an old fashion pen pal thing? I mailed two books to Brat a few weeks ago and it was fun to put them in a box with a couple surprises. It is amazing how we forget the postal service and the joys it can bring people!

Talking to strangers-

I love talking to strangers. Disclaimer- not crazy killers with candy trying to lure children down a dark alley type of strangers. I like to chat with the people in lines at places like Sam's Club. Just last week, this darling girl, Lindsay Heffel, was behind me wearing a stunning necklace. Come to find out, she sells the jewelry and gave me her card (hint as to why I know her name, peeps!:) and this is what she had on....

Check out what she has to sell. I fell in love with it, but can't come to pay for it! www.stealldot.com/lulugazelle. You can shop there, book a party or become a stylist.

Another jewelry note- I will be working on some new creations of my own soon. Once I get them done, I will put them here and on facebook:)

Oh HAIL:

The herbs from my second post were doing great........ until last night. Oklahoma storms can't simply be rain, thunder and lightening, oh NO! They have to involve hail. So, my friends I have a feeling my spinach and herbs will be goners when I get home in the daylight to assess the damage. I should have known it would happen.

Insert a huge thank you to the inventor of the garage! Now that we have one, I can try to sleep in a hail storm instead of fretting about my car. Lars was all tucked in the garage last night, safe and sound. Thanks for asking!

I am suffering from severe boredom, so this is all I can conjure up at the moment. Sorry to be a blogging blah! heehee

Until I get in trouble. KCK
