Yesterday, I went to Big Lots in search of something for my dad. I did not find what I was in search of, but instead found a HUGE bin of $0.50 books! I bought 5 novels for $2.68. What a steal! Here are the books I bought:
- Chicago by Alaa Al Aswany
- The Wish Maker by Ali Sethi
- Alentejo Blue by Monica Ali
- Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mah
- The Informant! by Kurt Eichenwald
I was inspired by how much Amanda has enjoyed reading Indian literature this summer, so I chose several books by multicultural authors. I am about a third of the way into Chicago, and I must say it is fantastic. Certainly remembering why I used to love to read!

out of the office
so yesterday i discovered this out-of-the-office automated reply email one of my coworkers put up during his absence.
Automated Message Below
Greetings. Thanks for your email.
I am out of the office, but if this email is about doing away with the designated hitter in baseball, then my vote is 'Yes.' If it is, however, about removing pickles from chicken sandwiches, then, of course, I am against it.
Kindest regards,
Norm

Lame
It's official. My life is boring.
I have been sitting at my computer for the last fifteen minutes trying to think of something, anything really, to blog about. Guess what I came up with?
NOT A DANG THING!
Sad, isn't it?!

hello again
bloggers, i know you have been fretting over my absence the last few months, but i just don't have time to blog that much. but let me assure you that i am fine.
now, guess who hasn't had power in her apartment since monday? yep, this girl! fortunately, my fabulous friends matt & courtney have been graciously letting me crash at their place for the last week. (this post is actually a shout-out to courtney because she told me last night that she "really just needed" me to blog.)
you might be thinking that my power outage is due to the winter wonderland outside. however, you'd be incorrect. so what is my power outage due to? simply put, it's due to the fact that i live in an old, crappy, run-down apartment in clinton, sc. but what can you do?
hopefully, the electricity will be fixed in the next few days... my landlord said he has somebody working on it today, so we'll see. i'm not gonna hold my breath.
i would say that i'll keep y'all posted, but my blogging track record from the last few months says i'd be lying.
peace!
