sure miss the big one! 

I'm turning 50!

In just 27 more days I will be 50 years old. Now 50 is old enough (way old enough) to not need any more things so I'm asking for my friends and family to donate to a cause that I have become very passionate about - the elimination of human slavery through NOT FOR SALE!

Please check out my link and join me in eliminating human trafficking!

i usually try really hard to eat before 7:00 p.m.
it doesn't always work but most of the time we're done with dinner by then.
i have lab work tomorrow morning and of course it is fasting lab work.
wouldn't you know that makes me so want to eat right now even though any other night i'd be just fine!
murphy's law?

Trying a new experience

I honestly don't know how many people read my blog - just a few I suppose. That's alright, there are some pretty personal things on here that I don't know if I want a great many people to know. Does that make sense? Well, while I was on Amazon.com I noticed a little buzz about Blogger now being linked to Amazon.com for the purposes of making money (I think but not positive about that). Heck, I thought, what can it hurt?

Of course I signed right up. Here is the link, I think, I hope: e-Reader Feeder

The first thing that Amazon Associates suggested that I do is write a blog to see for myself ... so I am. I'm not sure what it is supposed to accomplish but - here it is.
The second thing was to add a widget, which I did (that was incredibly easy) - I added the Amazon Search Products box so now all of my readers (all five of you!) can search amazon.com for great products. I have to tell you honestly though that I'm torn between amazon.com and bn.com. I just love to read so much that I shop for them (books) where ever I happen to be able to. And in all honesty I have discounts cards at Barnes and Noble, Books-a-Million and Borders. And it goes without saying that I have an Audible.com account as well. See, book fanatic!

I can't say to Amazon.com that this will be an exclusive "shop amazon.com" site because there are books I can find at bn.com that I can't find on amazon.com and vice-versa.

What does this mean for my blog? Well, pretty much nothing really will change with the exception that I feel I owe it to Amazon Associates now to review the books that I read to get others (all 5 of you!) to head on over to amazon.com to purchase the said just reviewed book.

*of course the current book that I'm reading, Silent Covenants: Brown V. Board of Education by Derrick Bell,  is a book off the UMW Reading List and it is soooo dry, it reminds me of a legal document or legislative draft. It's not a really thick book but it counts as two books read for Social Justice; that alone should tell you how dry it is!* 

So, let me publish this post and see what happens!
