Quick Post for all the Book Lovers

I came across a snippet in People magazine this week that I thought I should share. There was a link to a new book swap club called paperbagswap.com. Here is a link to the site

http://www.paperbackswap.com/index.php

This seems like a really good deal. You get credits for books that you put up to be swapped. You then use those credits to pick the books that you want. It even prints out the postage for you to use. It says that most books ship for about $2.23 each. Goodness knows that is way cheaper than the cost of a new book. There search engine seems to be really good too. I am going home tonight to see if I have any to swap. Yes, as some of you may know, I have issues with used books, LOL. I like for mine to not be bent or cracked at all. I am trying to overcome this in an effort to feed by reading addiction without going broke. If you anyone else tries it let me know.

Birthday Blessings and More



Hello everyone. Long time no blog. I am sorry I haven't done a better job at blogging, I just have really not been feeling too well lately. I had some horrible sinus crap about 4 weeks ago and it just really wiped me out. I just can't seem to shake this crud. I had a wonderful birthday week last week. I am truly blessed. I have added a pic of the beautiful flowers my mom sent me. She always sends me the prettiest flowers. The girls at work gave me a super Hobby Lobby gift card. You can't ever go wrong with that. I went and picked up tons of goodies with it on Friday. I love to look at all the Easter stuff. I love all the bunny rabbits and fat little birds !!! I also got money from my parents, my aunt and Dr Hardy. I was overwhelmed by all the notes and messages I received on myspace and facebook. I am so very thankful for all the wonderful people in my life.

I don't really have too much going on right now. I have been trying to work this weekend and get some more things put on ebay. I still have a couple of boxes of scrapbook stuff that I need to get out of the way. I also need to be working on designing some invitations for Jaime's baby shower in a couple of weeks. I found some FABULOUS paper that I have special ordered. Let's pray it gets here this week so I can get things done. I am also trying to come up with some favors too. I want to think of something I haven't done before for another shower. I have done so many over the last couple of years, I am running low on ideas without any repeats, LOL.

I decided to sign up for Netflix this week. I never realized what a great invention that is. I ordered movies on Wednesday and they got here on Thursday. I started watching the first season of the Tudors this weekend. I also have Mamma Mia which I have been dying to see. I am also anxious to watch the first season of Gossip Girls. I really think I will like that show once I figure out who everyone is and what is going on.

I am thrilled that we are having book club this week. It is always such a grand time. They are some of my fav folks to spend time with. I will promise to try to be better about blogging this week. I also want my buds to be better too. They might be even worse slackers than I am, LOL !!

Wonderful Saturday


Hi everyone, hope all is well. I have been so busy and tired lately I am just the most horrible blogger ever. I promise I will try to do better. Last night I had a wonderful birthday bash with my friends at Bridge Street. I had most of my favorite people in the same place at once. That is such a rarity. We ate at PF Changs, one of my most fav places ever. It was sssoooo yummy. My friends were all so generous. I never expected any gifts, I just wanted us all to go out and have a good time. After dinner we took tons of pictures and then headed to the Chocolate Crocodile. I had never been in there but it was wonderful. It is defiantly a chocolate lovers dream. I was so excited that they had a bunch of sugar free things. I will defiantly have to visit there again. It was such a wonderful night. I am so very thankful for the wonderful girls in my life. They are a true blessing. Hope everyone has a great Monday. Talk to you again soon.
