Everyday Randomness

Sorting My Books

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I slept a lot longer than I had planned to today. Then again I went to bed a lot later than I had planned as well. I spent some time going through my books last night now that I’ve joined PaperBackSwap.com (thanks Joanna!).  I don’t have a whole lot of books listed yet, but you can see what I do have on my bookshelf.

I’ve got a ton of books to list, but I’ve got to see which ones I want to keep to reread and which ones I want to give away. I spent about 4 hours going to books, and as I was sitting down to list a few more I picked up one and realized I hadn’t read it. I’ve got so many books that the ones I haven’t read have been hidden behind the ones I have read. As usual I flipped open the book, read through the first page, and I was lost in the book. I made it about 3/4 of the way through the book before my eyes began closing on me around 5:30am.

I’m like that with all my books. When I start reading something I forget about everything else. I totally engross myself in the book until I’m finished, and I’ll normally finish it in 1 or 2 nights tops. The current books is Linda Howard Dying To Please, and I’m sure I’ll be done with it by the end of the night tonight.

Right now hubby’s home complaining he’s hungry though, so I’m going to go fix him a bite to eat. There’s a reason he’s home, so I’ll explain in a bit.

Discount On Customized Address Labels

If you’re like me you prefer using printed address labels to save time writing your address by hand each time you have to mail something out. A lot of people like to print their own labels because they think it’s cheaper. Sometimes it is, but most of the time it costs me about the same to buy printer ink and blank labels as it does to order them.

I do like creating my own labels because I can customize them the way I like, but there are times when I luck up on a deal like this one from VistaPrint. Right now you can order your address labels for 75% off the normal price if you use the coupon code “BlogAddress75″. That’s a pretty great deal if you’re looking for cheap address labels. The best part is you can still customize the labels how you want them. VistaPrint offers a ton of options, and everybody knows I love finding a nice discount especially on things I use everyday.

Don’t forget about all the other awesome products VistaPrint offers as well like postcards, personal checks, stamps, and magnets. You get to customize your own products, and sometimes it can take you less time than creating your own on your computer.

Group Writing Project Update

I woke up today planning on writing a ton of stuff. I really want to go through all the Top 5 lists that have been published so far for the Problogger/Chitika contest, linking to the ones that I think are really worth the read, but I just haven’t had the time to do so yet. Normally my house is pretty empty during the day…just me, the puppy, and the cat, but today I’ve had people randomly showing up all day, and I just can’t find the free time to sit down and write much.

I promise to have a list of my Top 5 or 10 entries up later tonight, but for now, feel free to check out today’s entries over at ProBlogger.

Stuck In My Head

Normally I would be listening to this song as well as many others on the bike, but since my hubby is out on the bike without me this morning, I’m stuck here listening to random stuff. No matter how many songs I listen to, Rapture by Iio is stuck in my head! So, I’m sticking it in your head, too! This is a definite “old skool” fave of mine.

I’m on a mini fridge kick!

Think hubby will get mad if I turn my car armrest into a mini fridge? Seriously, I might just stop by the junkyard we get all our Saturn parts from tomorrow and grab an extra armrest/console. This way I can try the mini fridge idea without ruining the one that’s already in my car….and if I show hubby this page after I’ve already completed my project, I can just switch them out if he gets pissed. I think it’s a great idea, don’t you?
