Book Thongs by Julie

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

I 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, 2008

When 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. I’m almost down to fumes again and am working across-island tomorrow, so I’ll have to fill up before I leave the Waianae Coast in the morning. GasBuddy.com says […]

I’m diversifying!

Saturday, March 24th, 2007

I’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. I don’t like shopping in the traditional sense. Yeah, I know, all us women love to shop, right? Well, no. I don’t like […]
