Finally! Blissful stupdity (really, a good thing)
After living without the Internet on my laptop for six weeks, I have it again. On the advice of a friend I just uninstalled my Norton Antivirus Program. When I told him that the connection to the Internet had stopped when I tried to download the upgrade, he told me that their software is as bad as AOL's as far as tentacles into your hard drive, ( Read more... ) -
North Point
North Point has a YouTube channel now. You can see it here--and the first video shown on the page, "It's Personal," is the first in the series last fall that kind of broke down my defenses. Good, soul-stirring stuff.

Seller woes & lovely things
(I will find out about TfA after eight tonight, according to their site.)
I have a lot more sympathy towards sellers on half.com and eBay since I have sold more than ninety items in the past month. I have received two neutral feedback ratings and about thirty positive, and those two neutral made me think a lot about communication.
I sold over fifty ( Read more... ) -
library fun/woes/weekend comes!
Explored Kiplingers.com today, and took Joanna to the library. Woohoo! Half a dozen magazines for free. I've been trying to decide to which financial magazine I should subscribe, and now I do not have to choose!

The merciless mind of a barista..
I have been generally upbeat these last two weeks, and God has been good--it is so great to be taking steps to pay down debt--but as I've changed my eating habits last month, and my spending habits, too, I have become somewhat of a grump!
I'm thinking about writing a book, i.e. a collection of essays, about my personal peeves, because this isn't ( Read more... ) -

I'm in Savannah to nanny for my sister over the weekend, Thursday to Sunday. We'll have some Internet but not a lot--in any case, I hope to have pictures next week ( Read more... ) -
For love of grape tomatoes...
I've been eating French, in part to this book and another one I read a couple of years ago. No pounds lost--that wasn't the point--but I am enjoying my food more.
I thought of starting a "foodie" blog, but that's too much work. So, here it is :-). Tonight's "snacky supper" was more of a snack (I ate earlier) but still pretty:

Gratitude
I am having one of those days, which have been foolishly rare in recent years, wherein I'm overwhelmed by what I have, who is around me, and the blessings that are flooding my life. My eyes have shifted in recent months from high-end frustrations of ridiculous detail to macro-vision gratitude. Oh, my gosh...
I can pay my bills.
Joanna is a ( Read more... )
