Now that I’ve finished my book club selections months early, my next reading endeavor is going to be “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Sunken Treasure and Ships.” Why? Because I won the book at work last year, but they were out of print, and they finally tracked down a copy and gave it to me. It’s a fun book, and I like treasure books. So that’s my next completely frivolous read.
For those of you who may not know this already, my company publishes The Idiot’s Guides series, along with lots of more serious text books and computer science books.

I applied for a tax credit from the Department of Natural Resources for painting my house, and got approved for $2,293. Woo hoo! That means I’ll probably be able to afford to put in a privacy fence around my backyard. Kick ass!!

yes, let’s do that. No, I didn’t buy it from this site, and didn’t pay nearly that much for it. 🙂
I sat in this chair at Kittles for quite some time while gabbing to Kathy on my cell phone, and it is COM-FY! And the price was really great, so I couldn’t pass it up. Also, I got no interest, no payments for 12 months. Cool.
