I’ve been finding seed and plant catalogues in the mailbox lately and I’m enjoying looking at all of the varieties of plants, trees, bushes, flowers and shrubs that you can order these days. I can’t wait to order flowers for my new window box planters which I bought at the end of the season last deal. Man did I get a sweat deal on those babies. My mother used to have some of the most beautiful window boxes that she always took such pride in. So I’ve always wanted to give them a try and now that time has come. I just hope I can do them justice by looking even half as good as my mother’s did. I’m excited.

I have seen for the past month or so that Food Lion has a huge bin over flowing with brand new books at a discounted price and as much as I love to read, it takes a huge discount for me to purchase any book. I get most of my reading material from places that give them away or go to the used book store to find my bargains. The price of a brand new book is totally outrageous, I can’t even remember the last time I bought a book at full retail price.

But back to Food Lion’s book offering, today I had to make a mid week grocery run and I noticed that the book bin was almost empty, and they had a sign stating that the remaining books were being sold for 75% off of the already discounted price. With that being said, I stopped and took a look to see what was left over and was glad to find two new hard covered books that needed to come home with me and only paid $1.50 for each one, and I’m pleased with my purchase and will go back again on Friday and take another look see.

One of my favorite things is taking a nice hot bubble bath and soaking these old bones while reading a good book. I’m so happy to find this site and it looks like they have several more books that I am excited to see, so I am bookmarking this site for future purchases and some interesting information also.

With money always an issue with everyone these days, even working two jobs, she is always looking for a good discount school supplycompany to help with all of the school supplies that are necessary in teaching both of their kids. And with such a gap in the two kids ages I would imagine that they would need so many things for each of them that are age appropriate. The Internet is a wonderful resource that they use all the time for research, learning as well as finding things that they need to purchase and this site Constructiveplaythings.com has the kind of variety that I think will be great for them.

So I am going on Face Book later on today and send her a message with the link in it in hopes that it will help her out some.

The thing is, I’m not sure what I’d be good at or smart enough to do, don’t get me wrong, I’m no dummy, but it has been so long since I had to really learn anything, except how to mix drinks that come about every now and then depending on what new “fad” drink is being consumed out there. Oh well, like I said I’ll take some time over the next few weeks and do what I can to just learn about Walden and see if I can find something that I think I can handle getting into as well as afford.

Today’s word I had never heard of, kerfuffle, a noun - with the definition listed as: a minor fight, a spat, or a commotion. What a silly looking and sillier sounding word, but I have tucked this knowledge away and plan on using it when I can, which is what I’ve been doing with all the words that I’ve picked up from this online dictionary. If you want to see what it is all about you can go to their site of onlineslangdictionary.com, live and learn, right?

Now a days if I want to find one of our local restaurants I head straight for my computer to find everything I need there in a nutshell. Not only can I find the typical name, phone and address information at local.com, but I can find the businesses hours, driving directions, ratings and reviews, menu samples, heck you can even make your dinner reservations right online as well. So anytime I need to do a local search for anything I start at local.com, so far they haven’t let me down yet and I’ve found some pretty interesting and useful information along the way, just by entering my zip code I become privy to a ton of opportunities for online consumers as myself. It’s all good folks!

Well I finally finished it, and it wasn’t until around the last fifty pages that I actually looked forward to reading the story. I’m glad that I did finish it though, the ending did explain a whole lot and gave me some things to think about and has made me want to do a bit of research on some issues that were talked about that I am now curious about. I love it when a book does that to me, gets me interested in some off the wall subject that normally I wouldn’t give a second thought about.

I have been a “Parrot Head” since way back and have always enjoyed the tropical type music that he is so well known for producing and I have heard that he has written some books lately, but have never seemed to be able to come upon any of his books until just recently.

So I was thrilled to find one of his books called “A Salty Piece of Land” at my favorite used book store, and for only $2 and I’ve really enjoyed the reading of it this past week. I’m glad that inside of the book it tells me the names of his other books that I will need to see if I can find at a good bargain also. I’m especially interesting in finding the one entitled “A Pirate Looks At Fifty”, if I can’t find it locally then I guess I could always look on-line and see if I can find it somewhere out there in cyber-world, for cheap.
