Updates

Been playing around here...trying to change a few settings, refresh a few things. I've been stuck in a blog rut and want to try and change things up. The people that complained about the dark background and light lettering no longer read here - one has gone on to glory and the other keeps up with me on Facebook so I'm going dark again. The way I like it. My blog, my rules.

I also finally figured out how to add a pic to my title up top, which is a monumental achievement for this computer-challenged girl. I'm a geek, but not that kind of geek. I kind of like the date stamp on my pic too...it takes me right back to the fun time we had at the beach this year, a year that in so many ways has not been a great one.

This bookworm can't go too long without posting about books so sorry if you thought you were getting a reprieve! I just finished this, which I read in 3 days, could not put down, and highly recommend, and this. Took much longer and in some parts was a bit dry for my taste, but well worth the read anyway. I came out enlightened, and even more disappointed in my government than before.

I'm starting to read this. It's too early to say whether I like it or not, but after reading War is a Racket, I'm intrigued to say the least by Smedley Butler. He sounds like a guy who would have bucked the rules if they needed bucking, which would make him my kind of guy.

I'll try to be better about posting here. Honest.
