Books
I used to use Visual Bookshelf on Facebook to keep track of books I had read. But Facebook changed its privacy settings sometime back, making it so that the only way Visual Bookshelf will talk to Facebook is if you sign up for a Living Social account and then link your Living Social account to your Facebook account, which I don't want to do just to ( Read more... ) -
Wheel of Time ebook covers
They've picked some really amazing covers for the Wheel of time ebooks. Most of them are soooooooo much better than the covers on the actual physical books. The characters on the covers actually look age appropriate, they're full of emotion and action, and it would seem that the artists had actually, you know, read the books before drawing them (or ( Read more... ) -
My favorite color was brown? (Tales from Childhood)
Today, I was going through a box of stuff from my childhood that my mom had saved, and came across a few stories I had written as a little kid. I laughed too hard not to share them ( Read more... ) -

I was perusing the juice aisle in the grocery store yesterday, for the first time in I don't know how long. I was craving apple juice. One juice I hadn't seen before caught my eye.

Anyone in the Cleveland area, my brother-in-law is looking for a place to rent for three engineering students for 3 months this summer. He said "near Solon." Anyone in that area have a spare room or two, or know someone who does? -

There was a small window of time (a month or maybe two?) between when we put her outside and ( Read more... ) -
second impressions
In addition to trying out the Versa Hatchback, we went and re-drove a couple of vehicles this weekend. Originally, our short list included the Prius, Camry, Fusion, and Sportwagen. But in the morning, we went over a list of what was important to us, and we both agreed that we wanted a hatchback. Since neither the Fusion nor the Camry comes in a ( Read more... ) -
Still more car shopping
We tried to find the Hyundai dealer but failed miserably, so we decided that test driving the Elantra and Elantra Touring just wasn't meant to be. We were also planning on testing a Mazda3 5-door, but we'd have to go to Atlanta to do it, and we just haven't been able to find the time to do that. But after reading up on it some more, we're ok with ( Read more... ) -

Tuesday/Wednesday test drives (we did quite a few Tuesday and Wednesday, so I can't remember as many of the details. I'll try to stick to the biggies for each car ( Read more... ) -
