Yep..I make the blog invite only and don't invite anyone...hahahaha
So if you are reading this I guess you got the invite. (just don't post sex page invites in another language..:)
What is going on? Well, I'm in a bit of a rut. It has been in the high 90's for weeks now. I can only stand to work in the yard in the evening..and then only for an hour at a time. The pool is no help..it is really warm and doesn't cool you off.
So I stay inside, read and watch Real Housevives of anywhere. (they all become the same after awhile).
I had to go to a bunch of work functions and that is the last thing I want to do on my weekends. However, I did go to the Royals/Braves game and while the Royals lost it brought back memories of watching them in the WS with the Cardinals. That was exciting if you were from Missouri which I was. Anyway I came home with peanuts in my purse. They were thrown at me by my co-workers...just because I was cheering for the Royals...loudly.
OOOOH...my big news..well for me it is.. Remember I killed my Ipod in Vegas (obviously what goes to Vegas does not survive Vegas - I also killed my cell phone) ...well, I do not want to buy another Ipod. I found out this weekend that I could transfer my whole Itunes catalog to my Droid. ..which I did and now I'm happy again. If you have a Droid you can do this by downloading http://www.doubletwist.com/dt/Home/Index.dt
It is really easy and I'm now so happy.
So for my other exciting thing....
I scored big on Saturday. Went to my corner bookstore on the third anniversary of it's opening. I bought two books - The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake was one and Dorothea Benton Frank's latest was the other. (I'll get to DBF in a minute) ...when I went to the counter the owner said..."Today you buy two books- you get the third free" I wanted to say "Shut UP" but I was polite and said "Wonderful" and hopped back and got my guilty pleasure - one of the Stephanie Plum books...pure summer read. So I hop up to the counter and she says, "Wait, you qualify for either a mystery bag of goodies or a gift certificate to a local store". Well, I was afraid the goodie bag would be bunch of books I've already read so I took the gift certificate to the local boutique. I thank them profusely and run to Bella's Boutique.
It's a knock off purse store but the quality is better than the ones at the mall. I go in and the girl behind the counter is even more excited than I am about the Gift Certificate. So I find a cute purse with a rose on it and a scarf threaded through it. It's $10 off. The Girl at the Counter says.."Do you have your punch card?" I dig and find it and guess what...I just needed another punch to fill it!
$30 of free stuff!! So got a cool silver necklace with hearts and rhinestones on it...and some knockoff Dolce and Gabonna sunglasses (they even have DG on the side).
All that made up for the disappointment I had by missing Dorothea Benton Frank She was coming to that very bookstore that very night. But I had to go to a housewarming that was 30 minutes away so I missed her. And the A/C was out at the party!! I had to drink a cosmos to make up for the heat.
Oh..and the dauchshound on the top? I don't know anything about him except he was in the AJC today and made me smile.
