Book Thongs by Julie
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008I have a collection of book thongs. Several of the members of the Table of Contents are pretty crafty and have generously gifted their fellow book-lovers with them. I use them to mark my place in every book I read. They don’t slip out and get lost like paper bookmarks, and they won’t mar or […]
What are you paying for gas?
Tuesday, August 5th, 2008When I first bought my Saturn I couldn’t fit $30.00 worth of gas in the tank. My last fill-up, a week or so ago, cost me $57.25.

But how familiar are you with Walmart online? I do a lot of comparison shopping there, especially if I’m buying a big-ticket item. I don’t always end up spending my […]
I’m diversifying!
Saturday, March 24th, 2007I’ve been blogging at my first place for a while now. I’m finding that there are things I want to blog about that really need their own spot. This is the first.
