Swiffer

I have some coupons for Swiffer that I don't need. I have 5 sets of 2 coupons each. One is for $3 off any Swiffer Starter Kit and the other is $0.50 off any Swiffer refill. I'll give them to the first people who comment or email me and want them.

Friendship

Our willingness to take risks and trust in each other
brings meaning and joy to the journey of friendship.

- Steven B. Wiley

Its HERE!

My blog book appeared on my back porch last evening and it looks awesome. I am really impressed with it and I'm totally motivated to format We've Been Outsourced: The Second Year.

I would recommend this to anyone thinking about turning their blog into a book. The pictures are quality and the writing looks professional (the style not the content). Next time I'm going to pay a little more for a few more pages so I can make my pictures bigger. The pages with six pictures on a page and text (it was the default page- it may have changed by now) are a little cramped for my taste.

I used Blurb and my 200 page, hardback, book cover included was only $40 with shipping. I did have a coupon code giving me $15 off. They did not pay me to recommend this to you. Although another coupon code would be nice :)

Blog Posts

I've been having trouble posting pictures to Blogger; hence the absence from blogging. Because really I'm not an interesting writer. And I no longer live in a mysterious country. I just have a super-cute baby oops toddler that you keep coming back to see.

Actually I think the problem may be fixed now but I've already written this blog post in my mind so out it comes.

My mom commented (to me not on the blog) how she was impressed at how I made a blog post out of hamburger buns. My life is really not that exciting now compared to our daily mishaps in India so I have to get creative. I told her I could make a blog post about anything. Whew was that a challenge?

Like my new hair dryer. I got a new hair dryer today. Why do I need a new hair dryer? Because my hair has decided that its going to be curly now. It won't dry straight anymore. I'm not sure when this transformation occurred but I'm pretty sure my hair is about 4 years behind the gel-your-hair-wear-it-in-curls trend. Anyhow, I used a diffuser this weekend and my hair curled up. So on my weekly pilgrimage to Target, I picked up a hair dryer with a diffuser in hopes of making my hair presentable to people other than my toddler.

And no, I did not pay $5 more simply because it was purple.

We love books

Yesterday Kiran and I joined the Spartanburg County library (yep Kiran got her own card; she can check out 25 books also). On the way home, we drove through the bank to deposit some money. The sun was shining right in Kiran's face so I took a library book and read it to her/blocked the sun while we were at the bank. When we drove off, she was doing good holding the book in her hand and flipping through the pages. I got a phone call (from a new local friend yea!) and kinda forgot that she had a library book back there. When we got home, she had indeed started eating the book. In fact, she had book stuck between her two front teeth.

I hope they don't charge us for a damaged book.


p.s. Its daddy/daughter weekend because I'm heading out the door to Roommate Reunion 2007 in the High Country. I'll be thinking of all of you mortals while I enjoy a little piece of heaven. You can see the forecast here.

Neighbors

We met another set of neighbors yesterday. Turns out the wife's dad is the Chancellor at USCUpstate and her stepmom is Dr. Vecchio, a history professor at Furman. That's for all your Furman history majors who read this blog. J was a history major but he never had her.

Breakfast Snack

This morning right after Kiran got up, she found a bag of puffs in her diaper bag. She decided to have a snack before breakfast. She opened them and ate every last one of them off the floor.
