A Library Card: Why It Is Still Needed

My library card is torn and falling apart.

(I am vowing to get a new one, and to make sure my information is updated).
I haven't been to the library in at least 3 years.
Why you should feel guilty about not going to the library:
Libraries are diminishing in their importance, due to the internet, Kindles, and other factors related to the fact that it is 2013.
However, you should still go to the library.
At least, update and keep your card handy.

To sum it up: libraries are cool, are "treasures" with books you have not seen yet. Even cooler than half price books.

The End.

Thank you--

Magnetic Poetry: One. Tasty. Blog.

I don't see a point to magnetic poetry.
Most of the words are useless.

Having said that, here is my own magnetic poetry... made up, partially, of ACTUAL magnetic poetry that I have at home:

One Tasty Blog Mmmmm.

new topic:
The other day I was paying at a restaurant. This was in the morning. I just had a small order, toast and coffee. The manager was annoyed--pretty upset-- at the waiter because he didn't put my order in. So someone else had to do it.
(Since I think the waiter is efficient), I could have said something like, "Don't be too upset, his customer service skills are unparalleled."
But I did not.
But, I can say that next time.

The End.
thanks

Happy summer.

Bling

I usually do not get sucked in by movie ads.

But I saw one for the movie The Bling Ring. (Opened yesterday).

I'll let you read to see what it's about.
The movie is directed by Sofia Coppola.
In summary: I want to see this movie.

THE END.

Choose Your Memo Pads Carefully

My horoscope today said, "Shop carefully."

Since I had no big shopping plans...
I took that to mean that if I shop at Walgreen's or Staples, I should shop carefully.

Maybe, choose my memo pads carefully.

Maya Angelou Knows Why The Caged Bird Sings

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

This quote is by Maya Angelou, the famous poet who knows why the caged bird sings.


It is day 19 of the Blogathon.

Chatting On The Plane, Or, Be Happy With What You Have

Recently I heard two guys chatting on an airplane.
Sitting directly behind me, I learned much about their lives. Both were probably younger than me. Both had a laundry list of possessions, as well as good jobs and other things.

EXAMPLE: "I visited Cape Town recently."
"I live in LA."
"My wife sees nothing but the ocean on her drive to work."
"I'm having a destination wedding."
"I visit Hawaii regularly."
"I just bought a new house in San Antonio."

I was surprised to find at the end that I wasn't really jealous. While possessions are great, I'm not sure if these two giddy co-passengers have lost sight of what's important.
I guess I wasn't jealous because I feel glad to be grateful for what I have, while still working toward the future.

The point: Be grateful for what you have NOW. Do not put all of your energy solely into possessions.

THE END.

It is Day 18 of the Blogathon.

A Photo Of Savannah

Here is an exciting photo of Savannah, Georgia.
They are roses made of palm tree leaves. Sold on the street.
