True Blood Anyone?

OMG.....this is a must to order. Everyone in my family are huge, huge, HUGE True Blood fans. I am going to pre-order some O+. $16.00 for a 4 pack, but worth a try. The blood orange sounds a little like italian soda.

Hoot Owl Hat

Adalaee needs this hat. Owls are magical. Just ordered the pattern from Spud and Chloe. Needles are clicking.

Tree Saver

I love technology. Not only do I love technology I love the thought of saving trees. I embraced both in December when I bought my lovely Kindle. What's a Kindle you may ask? It's a wonderful device that let's you read your books on it. I was skeptical at first. I love books. I love the smell of books and bookstores. I love the feel of paper. But as I sat one day looking at the tons of books that clutter my house I knew there had to be a better way. I don't have room for all of this accumulation, not to mention the hundreds of books that died for my entertainment. That's when I found the Kindle...or it found me while surfing on Amazon. I read review after review on the device before taking the plunge. I was worried about plunking down over $300.00 for something I may hate...I hate reading on the computer. But people seemed to love it...saying that you felt like you were reading a book due to e-ink technology. So I had to do it. The geek and environmentalist in my took over. It arrived at Christmas in cute packaging. I plugged it in, downloaded a few books and instantly feel in love..again. I can't tell the difference when reading. In fact, it's easier, especially while lying in bed. I carry ALL my books with me...1500 of them...and the best part is the FREE SAMPLES. I'm addicted. I'm a sample addict. I get to read 3 chapters from any book that tickles my fancy before swiping my debit card. Oh yes, truly smitten. So smitten that I plopped down another $359.00 when the new one was realized not to long ago. Gave the other one to my daughter. I finally go the biggest reader in the house on board (my youngest daughter). Her books are like a plague that fills her room. Overflowing. Made her read a book on the Kindle and she likes it! May be another baby addition to our Kindle family.

My Kindle is named Winny, Winiford to be exact. I used to go to bed with a book every night. Sam used to laugh and say that I was like Winiford on Hocus Pocus (love that movie) that used to call her Book of Shadows "Oh boooooooook". So the name stuck. Now the Kindle is $299.00!

Pink Salt

I don't love heavily salted food, unlike the chicks. But I do love the different type of natural and artisan salts that are out there. They are beautiful and exotic. Some are quit pricey, but we try and by something new a few times a month. The HimalaSalt Artisan Carved Zen Cubes are awesome. The pretty pink salt is in cube form and comes with a grater to shave off salt in a powdery form. It's all natural and unprocessed like regular table salt. I've also recently bought celtic sea salt.It's very crystal like, grey and looks moist. Haven't tried it yet. We have salts infused with herbs. Very yummy. Very fru-fru.

Old Soul

I'm an earthy person...somewhat a reincarnated hippy...treehugger, nuts and berries.  Would have went to Woodstock.  Love to shop at stores like Ward's, Fresh Market, Mother Earth.  Organic food. Going barefoot.  Love Birkenstocks, long gauze skirts, essential oils and burning incense.  70's music is my favorite.Funny my youngest daughter is the same.  She's a Gypsey child.   kindred souls her and I.

What shall I name her?

Well, I did it.  I broke down and bought the Lendrum wheel.   I can't wait until Friday or Monday to see her...yes, her...I name my things...I'm weird I know.  My old car is called Betsy and my Kindle is called Winny.  The Lendrum needs a name!  

Cuppa Joe

I love coffee.  The smell conjures up feelings of warmth and home.  However, regular coffee doesn't like me...it makes me jumpy and makes my heart do all kinds of weird things.  So, I avoid the leaded and just drink decaf...purely for taste and to make me feel toasty inside.  I had a wonderful French coffee press that I used to brew my cuppa joe each morning.  My grandmother broke it while visiting while probably dusting things that haven't been dusted.....EVER.  But no worries, I found this pretty lovely press at Starbucks this morning.
