Happy Monday to Ya

Reading the paper this morning, I came across an article about a site called Book Mooch where you can exchange books for FREE and get this - if you like the book you can keep it! You can also request books from other countries. All this while helping charities like Library Fund and African Literacy. I feel as though I am the last to find this out but I am glad I know now. I sat there shaking my head thinking why didnt I think of that?....What a great idea. I buy books all the time Abebooks is my current fave for out of date or older books. Amazon is another favorite for obvious reasons. Truthfully, I always feel like a book should be mine. I hate borrowing books from people and more importantly HATE lending. Money has changed a little of the last year so I am definitely going to be checking this out very soon. Any opportunity to save money is most welcomed. Just a quick note if you decide to use the site be sure to first search for your book on Amazon, then follow the link to the site. That's how they are able to offer this type of service.

I also let this go under my radar how I am not sure. It has been a year since NBC Meet the Press Commentator, Tim Russert died. It feels like just yesterday I heard the news and kept logging on to see if it was really true. I really enjoyed watching him. I loved the way he would break down complex political questions for viewers and also get politicians to answers the question asked....You are definitely missed Mr. Russert.

Well that's it for now.....Here's hoping you have a great week...

Its Monday

Hope the weekend was good to ya! I definitely had a good one, though I have to admit, I havent quite gotten the hang of being off on the weekend. I woke up Saturday thinking I was late for work....I got that thought out of my mind with a quickness.

Friday night kicked off with me going to a graduation dinner for my girlfriend Kim pictured above. She got a masters from Columbia in May. Congratulations again Kim. I took this with my iPhone so its kinda dark - cut me some slack. I still like it though because its the only one I have of us together.

Afterwards, I went to First Fridays....that was a lot of fun. Either I haven't been out in a while or ...well anyway, the DJ was on fiyah - trust.  

What did you do this weekend?

Life is really really good......

I found this picture and I just love it..I was testing one of my cameras and asked my mom to pose. At first she was like, "Why?" I told her. Then she was like, " I am not dressed properly." I was like yes you are. Then, I pretended to walk away and she was like "Okay, okay." and she posed...Reverse psychology...works everytime. Her smile says life is good you know?


Hope all is well with you in blog land. Today was just one of the days where I was happy to be me. School is going well. Three nights a week until 10:00 is eventually going to kick my butt but its cool for now. The classes are really cool and I have already made friends. Other than that I am good.

What's going on in your world?
