Reading a good book!

Hi.. taking a slow day today.. did some stuff online.. but not as much as I probably should.

I decided to read a good book.. I am reading..

This is a copy of the book: Terror rises from the dank gutters and alleyways of New York City as an abhorrent series of savage murders goes unsolved. Police lieutenant Frank Mooney suspects there are two killers of shadow-like similarity, and soon he is trapped in a gruesome triangle of spiraling terror and consummate evil.

It really keeps you on the edge of your seat.. I am really enjoying this.. just a couple of chapters left.. I will probably put it up for sale after I finish it.. 

Sunday Update!

Much cooler today.. with rain.. seems everyone else in this area is getting a bad storm.. but not us on the west side of Buffalo.. I am just enjoying the much cooler weather.  It was so hot yesterday I just had NO energy.. and felt lousy.. we just are not used to 94 or 95 degrees here in Buffalo.  I did drive my friend to the store.. but otherwise the only thing I did was sleep and read for most of the day.. and crocheted later on.

As for my Sunday plans.. only thing I was planning on was making a nice pasta salad.. with my garden veggies.  I put store bought broccoli, onions and mushrooms in it.. but everything else was from my garden!  Green peppers, zucchini, yellow squash and carrots!  Added two kinds of cheese for some extra flavor.  Mixed it with low fat peppercorn ranch salad dressing, Miracle Whip Light and some Italian Salad dressing.  That will be dinner along with breaded chicken breasts.  MMMMM..

I need to work on my website today.. got alot of pictures to add there.. and just tighten that up too.. that is my game plan..

I do have to get an order finished.. making dishclothes out of Simply Soft for an order. I have made these before and actually have a few up for sale on Etsy..

 You can see the pattern here:

Feeling Better Today..

Good afternoon.. today will be a bit slower for me.. taking it easy and watching the Olympics while doing sales stuff. I have alot to get done today.. 


I have to say it is quite nice to watch the Olympics.. especially with Micheal Phelps making his goal.. and the Women's Gymnastic team doing so well.. I especially like Gabby.. smile.. I have a cat named Gabby, that was a bottle fed baby.. smile.. she had a tough time with her life (esp since we found out she has Feline Aids, it wont be ending), and we almost lost her 4 times due to health problems.. 

It is a new month.. so putting stuff on Ebay.. I like that they give you 50 free ads a month.. so I really do use them.. smile.. I put up items from both my storefronts.. smile.. Check it out.. if you want to..
