Amber Martingale 10:52 AM and pretty much the same as yesterday. *sigh* I wish I had a pair of headphones again... .

Marian | 462 comments Good Morning Amber:)Treat yourself to a new pair of head phones.

Amber Martingale I can't. I don't get paid again until June 1st. Rent is US$410 and I also have to pay approx. US $145 for my dental cleaning.

That's US$555 out of a Supplemental Security Income check of US$733 and I still have to pay my power bill out of what's left of that and pay for a cab when I go home from the grocery store since I can't afford a car of my own.

You'd think that the old-fashioned Princess Leia cinnamon bun style headphones would be CHEAPER than the earbud style simply by virtue of being old-fashioned, but noooooooooooooooooo...it's more expensive. Idiocy... .



12:OO noon: and trying not to decided to use my bank issued debit card to buy a pair of earbuds because it'll net me a $23 overdraft charge.

Jessica  (jessical1961) It is 3:48PM CST and I am checking e-mail, reading my messages on Goodreads and changing my Goodreads profile picture to a photo of my recently graduated daughter holding her son (my grandson) at her High School graduation last Saturday.

Sophie | 1126 comments Congratulations to you and your daughter on her graduation Jeffrey :)

22:05 I'm sitting in my front yard with a glass of wine, the radio on and reading my Kindle while intermittently sorting out plans by text to stay with my friends on the coast in July and just generally enjoying the warm night. Bliss!

Good for you. DirectTV is a good company for that. Just a FYI…if they gave you a free movie channel for a few months "they do not" automatically shut it off anymore. You must call before your time is up.

That sounds like so much fun, Lisa. We were unable to have children and so no grandchildren. You are a lucky lady and she is a lucky girl.

It is tentatively titled "There's a Mouse in the House!" and it is a toddlers rhyming picture book about a family that has a mouse in the house and how they all react to it.

Happy birthday Faouzia!

Happy birthday, all the best Faouzia.

I have been adding more pictures to my home page, so I can change my profile picture.

Now is a picture I took on one beach in Jersey at sunset

E. | 653 comments 9:35 pm. Listening to the Crrrr-ACK and Boom of the latest thunderstorm. Awesome special effects


Sandysbookaday (taking a midwinter break) (sandyj21) | 5101 comments Nice picture Sean.
Enjoy your days off Sophie - I hope your days are filled with sunshine 8:D
Amber, I know exactly what you mean.
E - I love storms!

Day chef off today so I am it. I hope she is feeling better tomorrow. Lots of winter bugs doing the rounds at the moment. But we have a lovely sunny day, warm if you can find a spot out of the wind. Waiting for the afternoon shift to come on so I can go home, and if they are dry enough, mow the lawns. If not, I guess I will have to read. Darn!

At work, sadly.

Now on lunch, tennis scores on the computer, good reads on the computer, kindle in front of me ready to read.

Music in my eyes... K.D Lang.

Sophie | 1126 comments 17:10 Just ordered my friend's birthday gifts online ready for next Thursday. One of them I'm actually considering ordering for myself - a set of coasters with your favourite cocktail recipe on it www.notonthehighstreet.com/coconutgra.... Now got a Bolognese sauce simmering on the hob (trying out Gino D'Acampo's recipe from Gino's Italian Escape) and sipping a glass of red. It's been a brilliant day so far :)

Amber Martingale 1:23 PM Wading through emails and considering my 4th visit today to my GR Recommendations lists.

Amber Martingale 11:38 AM. Same thing I was doing 26 hours ago: wading through emails, minus the multiple visits to my GR Recommendations pages.


message 1494: by Heather (new)

Heather Burnside (goodreadscomheather_burnside) | 385 comments Just about to have something to eat. I feel like carrying on writing as I'm getting so near to the end of my first draft but my eyes are sore so it's time to call it a day.
Have a lovely weekend everyone. :)


message 1495: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale 1:24 PM Getting ready for the last dozen or so emails.


message 1496: by E. (new)

E. | 653 comments Amber you must go through many pairs of wading boots. =}
At last glance I have 289 emails. Every few weeks I take about 10 minutes to delete as many as possible. I might read 5. I just couldn't imagine actually reading them all. It would be like reading the truck load of junk mail stuffed in my mailbox on a daily basis.
But then, I'm not an important person in the grand scheme of things, neither is my mail.


message 1497: by Faouzia (new)

Faouzia | 252 comments 22:51 watching "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" for the 100th time :) I love this movie, the book is better of course but i enjoyed the movie :)


message 1498: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale I get a daily Digest, plus whatever's not yet on my GR digest, E. Plus I only get 3 hrs a day online at the public library, Monday-Saturday since I can't afford home access.

That said, it's 10:18 AM and I am going through all the emails that have come in since I logged off last night.


message 1499: by Sophie (new)
