Last Day
My motto for the coming year… Begin Again in 2010
I Will Lose Weight & Get Fit (about 75 lbs)
I Will Become a Vegan
I Will Clean Out My Garage
I Will Clean Out My Basement
I Will Clean Out My Brother’s Room to Make a Workout Room
I Will Buy a Clothes Dryer
Finally... Alleluia !!!
The vertical messenger bag that I got from eBags arrived today and the Kindle DX fits along with my other stuff. The faux leather is a bit shiny, but hopefully will tone down with use.

Thanks
For Christmas I got:
“Arrested Development” - All 3 Seasons on DVD
Gift Certificate to an Indoor Tennis Club
Flannel PJ’s with a cat print
Electronic Coin Bank - already put in over $85
“Rushmore” DVD
“Groundhog Day” DVD
Snow gloves
Scratch Off Lottery - won $5
Barnes & Noble Gift Card - got this book
To the P.O.
I have to get to the Post Office to return the Kavu bag as well as a pair of non-leather penny loafers I bought online that are too big.
I hope I don’t have to go back next week to return a bag I bought online from eBags. Fingers crossed that I like it and that it fits my Kindle DX & all my crap.
Too Small
The Kavu Keeper bag I got from REI was just delivered and it’s too small. The top part is smaller than the bottom so my Kindle DX in the case doesn’t fit.
Will I ever find the perfect bag for it ????
Finally Finished...
Reading “Giving Chase”.
Now reading “The Twelve Lies of Christmas”. I think it’s a short book.
After that… “The Christmas Lamp”.
She'll Be Rollin'
I got this transport chair for my Mom on Walgreens.com for $89.99 (now it’s $99.99) less $10.00 off with a coupon code; free shipping & no tax. I ordered it on 12/13 at 5:30 pm and it was delivered today. Amazon has it for $173.
It’ll be so much easier to take her out places.
Bought This Bag
It’s a Kavu Keeper. Would rather have a black one but this one was only $11.83 at REI Outlet ($41 at Zappos - what a joke). A black one was $24.90 at Amazon. I want it to carry my Kindle DX.
I’m basically testing this one out. Will the Kindle fit with my camera, wallet, phone, iPod? If everything fits, I’ll get the black one in the near future.

Off Tomorrow
I’ll be working on Wednesday instead. I’m bringing my mother to the geriatrician tomorrow for her first visit. Last Tuesday, she had another episode of disorientation, difficulty speaking and getting thoughts together. It always follows a deep, deep sleep. It appears she slept the entire day. It happens about once a year. It’s a mystery to what causes it.
Before the...
Finally
I finally cleaned my brother’s old bedroom, which is now a spare room.
I bought a new litter box and a new type of litter for my cats. I like to stay away from clay which is bad for the environment, cats and humans.
I’ve been using World’s Best Cat Litter (which is made of corn) for a few years, but since I got a black rug in my room, I’ve noticed how much it’s...
My Top 10 Favorite Cars
I’ve been watching the TV show “Chasing Classic Cars” and decided to list my favorite cars. As you can see, I love convertibles.
For sure, #1 car is a Mercedes 450 SL or 560 SL - must be white with blue top & interior.
Just going to list the others and maybe order them later:
1965 or 1967 Ford Mustang Convertible
70’s Triumph TR6
Triumph Spitfire
Alfa...
Deck the Halls
I did the Christmas decorating today. Everything except for the tree. It took about 4 freakin’ hours, including vacuuming & cleaning.
The tree will probably take another 4 hours as it take soooo long to set up the individual branches; it’s an artificial tree. I’ll do it on Saturday morning.
I had the Christmas music blasting… my new speakers rock !!!
Freezing
I lower the heat way down to sleep. In the morning I have to deal with the cold.
I’m in a sweatshirt now and rocking back and forth, mumbling…
Why aren’t I in Miami, Why aren’t I in Miami ???

Snoozey McSnoozestein
I’m finally getting up after hitting Snooze for an hour and 15 minutes.
I’m writing this in bed, so I’m still not up yet :)

I Got Out
I did everything I wanted to.
New floor would be around $500 installed; not bad.
I had to go back to the supermarket though as I forgot one bag… boy do I hate when that happens.
Lazy Sunday Morning...
after a Lazy Saturday.
After lunch, I definitely have to get going. I’d like to get to my Mom’s bank, Walmart, Target, and supermarket.
I should also go to Home Depot to look at vinyl flooring for the kitchen.

Itsy Bitsy Spider
A tiny spider lowered down from the ceiling onto my arm while I was still in bed this morning. I just woke up & was checking email on my iPod Touch. I didn’t have my glasses on so I didn’t see it but I thought it probably was one. So I got out of my bed, turned on the light, and put on my glasses.
I started sweeping my hand on the sheets and saw it coming down the side of the...
