I went to the IKEA showroom, got some ideas and found a few pieces I wanted to buy. Then we started having trouble with our car; a 94 Infiniti which was given to us. So, in retrospect, we've been very lucky. It's just that this is not a good time for...Can you relate?http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/bitchbrew97665/630117I have this weird thing that I do; I play dvd’s on my computer while I write and surf the web. Lately I have been replaying “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea”. I have seen all the episodes several times, but I just don’t seem to get enough of them. I can’t tell you why I do this. Sometimes I think...Rain day...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/bitchbrew97665/629067I must confess I was making light of the situation here in Atlanta. I live in the city and did not experience any problems. I don't watch the news on a daily basis, but after viewing the Weather Channel (based here in Atlanta) last night I realized that things got really serious in the suburbs. I...Rain day...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/bitchbrew97665/628901It's been raining steadily in Atlanta for almost a week, so, the city has decided to close the public schools.
