I Thought The Cat Was Funny...

But apparently some people were kind of grossed out by it.

I did finally make it to Barnes and Noble. I bought books that I did not really need and a Caramel Macchiato that I definitely did need! We braved below-zero temperatures and icy roads and slow drivers and had a wonderful time. If this does not make any sense, please read the previous blog entry.

The books that I bought were either on my list or ones that I have noble intentions of reading...just like Don Quixote that is sitting on my bookshelf!

The Count of Monte Cristo
Les Miserables
20,000 Leagues Under The Sea
The Diary Of Anne Frank
They Like Jesus But Not The Church
Pocket NLT Bible

There is just something about leaving the mall with a Starbucks in one hand and your Barnes and Noble and Bath and Body Works bags in the other hand that just feels right. Ahhh, civilization!

This post is for my friend JoAnn

Who lovingly shared her life in the city with me via a picture of her at Barnes and Noble with Starbucks in one hand and books in the other. Thank you, my friend.

I promised her that I would share tidbits of my life in the country with her, but since my cat has decided to take a sabbatical and spend the winter sleeping, I thought this youtube video would just have to suffice.

So, JoAnn, this vid's for you!

To Blog Or Not To Blog...

Have you ever noticed that the quote that I am ripping off from Shakespeare is not even a question?

Tall Skinny Kiwi (aka Andrew Jones) is one of my regular blog reads (See Sidebar). Today I came across a post of his from 2007 on how and what to blog. Since I am kind of new to this, I thought it was pertinent and that I would share it with anyone will to stop by here and check out my ramblings:)

15 Blogging Tips for 2007

Yes, 2007 is sooooo long ago, but it is still good information!

I almost forgot...

We are having a Ladies' Retreat this weekend at church. It will be on studying the Bible and should be a great time! Pastor "Mo" will be the speaker. If you have any questions, leave a comment or drop me an email!

Lazy Days...

NOT! We have been working on our church's web site. If you have not had a chance to take a look at it, here ya go... Baptist Community Church .

Look around and cruise the site. We are still in the putting together stage. Hopefully, we will soon have audio files so that you can listen to Pastor Mike.
