I'm in nothing land at the moment. Not sure why but it feels like I am waiting for something to impact on me so I'm conserving my reserves. We had a guy come to the house today to talk about water filtration systems and I had absolutely no interest in talking to him or anyone else for that matter about anything. Seems like life is all pending inside at present waiting to burst forth. I'm not scared, just wish the shift that is making its presence known would make a full appearance.
So the only New Years Resolution I made was a kind of status for this year. 2008 ended up being an 'I want' year. (that went well didn't it!). 2009 is about 'I do.' Yeah but not the marriage kind - yech!
I bought some books the other day from an online place that saves books from landfill and uses the sale proceeds to help literacy in poor countries. Better World Books for those of you who like that type of thing like me. Anyway my 'book' sent me the following email:
Holy canasta! It's me... it's me! I can't believe it is actually me! You could have picked any of over 2 million books but you picked me! I've got to get packed! How is the weather where you live? Will I need a dust jacket? I can't believe I'm leaving Mishawaka, Indiana already - the friendly people, the Hummer plant, the Linebacker Lounge - so many memories. I don't have much time to say goodbye to everyone, but it's time to see the world!
I can't wait to meet you! You sound like such a well read person. Although, I have to say, it sure has taken you a while! I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but how would you like to spend five months sandwiched between Hamlet (bipolar) and Fundamentals of Thermodynamics (pyromaniac)? At least Hamlet was an upgrade from that stupid book on brewing beer. How many times did the ol' brewmaster have one too many and topple off our shelf at 2am?
I know the trip to meet you will be long and fraught with peril, but after the close calls I've had, I'm ready for anything (besides, some of my best friends are suspense novels). Just five months ago, I thought I was a goner. My owner was moving and couldn't take me with her. I was sure I was landfill bait until I ended up in a Better World Books book drive bin. Thanks to your socially conscious book shopping, I've found a new home. Even better, your book buying dollars are helping kids read from Brazil to Botswana.
Eagerly awaiting our meeting
Thought that was so funny!
I must confess to having taken doggie xmas pics and since xmas is now over I thought I'd add what I could. There is one of Miss Stuss taken at the vet with Mr and Mrs Santa who just happened to be there when we went to have the ears checked) but I have left it at work. But here are the others (enjoying the experience in different degrees...)Oh and ypou might just see a pic of that finished jigsaw (except for maybe 5 pieces I couldn't get).
