First of all, if you were one of the people who left comments on my blog this week, I promise I did not ignore you. I did not get any emails, AND the comments thingie on my dashboard did not show comments. The way I found out was I was checking the blog to see how it looked to a visit and I saw people had commented and was like.. well..shit.. I hate it when people do not reply to comments, and I really do love interacting with people. I am calling Bluehost today to see if they can help. I am not sure what the problem is, but hopefully I can get it resolved today. crosses fingers

I have recently discovered or rather rediscovered Pinterest. I never realized what a minefield of ideas that site is. My mom had been telling me about it, but I was like I am not crafty, but it has a wealth of other info that I like blogging tips. I have been sucked into that site all week.  I was looking at home offices to get ideas on how to decorate my “home office” in my apt. It is a corner of my living room but whatever. I can still decorate. I realized that my desk here at my mom’s office looked ALMOST good enough to be on Pinterest. I even have the cool screensaver.

I just realized my desk looks almost like the cool ones in Pinterest all I need is the Mac

I was like well damn… Then I realized that I had my life exactly as I planned it a year ago. I am now going to upgrade my dreams. I know that sounds wacky but as I said on Twitter this week, the hedonistic treadmill is never ending, got to keep coming up with new goals and dreams. Or maybe I am just reading to many wacky books…who knows?

As I said in a post this week, my Christmas present to myself was paying off a 250 dollar fine to the library. I can now use the library again, and I am back to my happy place. I am lucky to live in Ohio, which has a damn good system. The library in Ky is horrible. I am not sure why. Maybe some librarians can tell me why one state has a glorious system and one state should just stop calling it a “library” and get some damn books and librarians that know how to “library.” hmmph

I am stuck in KY until at least after Christmas. I am getting a Choclaer Implant, and the DR want two more tests before the surgery. I told them I wanted the appointment after the holidays, and they made it Jan 4.. OOOKKKK I was picturing more in the middle of Jan, but Ok Jan 4 will work.  Getting ready for this implant has been a long and tedious process. I have lost count how many tests I have had done. I never knew there were so many ways to test a person’s hearing. Jesus. I think it is well established that I can’t hear by now.

I have been taking it easy and reading lots here at my parents house. I just realized that I get most of my book recs now from fellow book bloggers, and I have to say Y’all have excellent taste. All the books that I have read have been really good. The ARCS that I have read have been a different story. I seem to have really bad luck with ARCS. Ughhh Maybe I will just stop requesting them. They SOUND good when they are pitched then I get the actual book, and it is just like ugh.  I am not sure what to do.

  1. Why some places have better libraries than others? Money, pure and simple. Funding from the state in almost all states has been decreasing and so services are decreasing too. I wouldn’t blame the libraries. I would blame the state. I say this as a library assistant at a small town library in Pennsylvania. We’re doing the best we can but we do try to point out other resources within the state, e.g. in our state, The Free Library of Philadelphia, which is especially awesome in terms of e-books. Their funding is from a private foundation and that certainly helps them.

      I wonder how Ohio gets all of its money? They have a damn good system and I know they are not just getting all that money from taxes. At least I dont think so.

  2. Maybe I should check out Pinterest? I’ve never looked at that site before. Worth it? Good luck on the ear implant — hope it is a big success for you.

      I LOVE it!! I have gotten million of ideas off that site in the last few weeks!

  3. I’m a fan of Pinterest… use it primarily for recipes, but also for travel, crafts, and decorating ideas. Hope the implant is a success!!
