Bookcycle…

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to boycotting the Internet since my last blog and I’ve pretty much accomplished that goal. I haven’t been spending much time online at all. Unfortunately, I haven’t been doing anything productive either. I’ve been working, resting, watching a lot of episodes of Mission Impossible (the series) and doing other stuff, but nothing creative. I downloaded this new drawing program that I’m trying to learn, but until I learn it I won’t be doing much drawing.

I think I may finally start reading some books that I bought. I bought a few new books from a book club and I bought some used books from a few sites online, including Amazon books. There’s such a great selection of new and used books online, but I almost always buy used books over new books when I can. I think it’s nice to recycle and reuse books. Maybe book publishers wouldn’t agree, but used books are my favorite for many reasons. Not just because I’m cheap!

Mommy Four Eyes…

My mother is really looking forward to Mother’s Day. This year she wants me to pay for her to get an eye exam and a new pair of glasses. I don’t mind doing that because she really needs a new pair of glasses. Every time she wants to read something she has to take her glasses off because they’re so weak and actually prevent her from seeing properly. I find that so odd. I’ve never heard of someone taking off glasses to see.

My mom really doesn’t have any excuse for walking around in those glasses because I’ve offered to pay for her eye exam and glasses for the past two years. But she keeps procrastinating for some reason. Once she gets her eye exam we wont have this problem anymore. I’ll be able to order her discount prescription glasses online whenever she needs a new pair. That will save her time and me money!

Not The Average Girl…

I think I’m a really unique person. The things that make some girls happy just doesn’t seem to phase me in the least. For instance, if you were to give me $200 and tell me to buy whatever I wanted I would probably buy monkeys, smell goods, books and DVDs. Maybe nail polish too, but that’s about it. I wouldn’t have any desire to buy clothes, shoes or a handbag. Most of the girls that I know would spend their whole $200 on a pair of shoes, a designer purse or a piece of jewelry. Not me!

I really don’t care about fancy shoes, I don’t carry handbags and I hate wearing jewelry. Believe it or not, a $20 stuffed monkey would make me happier than a $1000 purse or necklace. Although, I have to admit that after looking at a few pairs of Stuart Weitzman shoes I could be talked into owning a pair of those.
