So, I’m still trying to work out the best plan for my bedroom/office/sitting room. Ideally, new furniture would be the solution but I really can’t afford to go buying all kinds of new furniture. I jokingly said to a friend yesterday that I needed someone to sponsor my room and give me all new furniture for which I could then extol the virtues of in my blog. Are you listening Ethan Allen? And I really like thiscomputer armoire from Crate & Barrel.

On this date in 1918, cases of the Spanish flu began circulating around the world. By 1920, 22 million people were dead. I mention this only because it comes up in conversation in the 1920s murder mystery.

The only thing on tonight that I watch is Jericho (which is apt to be quite explosive!), so I’ll catch some recorded stuff, too.

I keyed in one page last night which only added one page. How annoying. *g*

Reading: 50 Ways to Hex Your Lover by Linda Wisdom. I’m totally loving it, so far.

It’s that time again when we spring forward. Personally, I hate Daylight Saving Time. One of the many things I miss about Arizona is the lack of Daylight Saving Time. Trust me, when it’s a 115 degrees outside, you want the sun to go down as soon as possible. But our illustrious (she said very sarcastically ) congressmen in their infinite wisdom (cue yet more sarcasm) decided that expanding Daylight Saving Time would “save energy”. Yeah. Right. Never mind that every study done on the subject proved just the opposite.

Well, Autism Awareness may have a weird name, but he won yesterday’s El Camino Real Derby.

There’s a show on tonight on National Geographic entitled Aftermath: Population Zero which is similar in nature to Discovery’s Life Without People about what happens to everything civilization has built after all the people are gone. I think a lot of what they speculate on would happen even if there were a few people left which whets my appetite to write a doomsday aftermath type science fiction story. So I’m recording it. I’ll be watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and I think I’ll give Dexter a try. The ads for it keep making me think I might enjoy it.

And for those of you who want me to come work on your closets… *cue hysterical laughter* It’s taking me weeks to do mine! And once I’m finished, I’m done with closets, thanks all the same.

Reading: I read Gemma Halliday’s Alibi in High Heels last night. In its entirety. It’s a great book! If you like romantic mysteries, you must give the series a whirl.

I had some amusing search phrases last month.

its a buffalo (Funny, I don’t recall ever discussing buffalo….)

looking glass brandy (Did you know you came from the Looking Glass, Brandy??? )

archaeology decorating (This one just has me baffled. Or maybe buffalo-ed. LOL! What on earth could a person find on this topic? I may have to search for it myself…)

We have a little dab of snow, but nothing like was predicted last night. But they’re saying we could still get a lot more than we have now. We shall see.

Well, last night’s Survivor was yet another blindside. That’s, what? Three or four weeks in a row?

The only new thing on tonight I’ll be watching is Stargate: Atlantis. So I’ll also be catching some recorded stuff.

In decorating news, I’m working on my closets. I wish Harry Potter would show up and help me me out. Moving everything myself is a hassle. *g*

Keyed in two or three pages last night which added three pages to the manuscript.

Reading: Aunt Maria by Diana Wynne Jones. This is a YA fantasy by one of my favorite YA authors.
