Book Board Chat

Happy days are here again! AND I have a book-related post.

Saturday, my favorit, trusty old desktop (I have a lap top) hard drive crashed. Lost OS. So, no problem, thought I, just reinstall after doing system restore. NOT. After messing around for a while, decided to dump the machine, but hated to lose my favorite laser printer. Soooo, to make a long story short, dumped old scanner, and after an hour was able to get laser printer up and running! Ordered an ergonomic keyboard because I hate the laptop one, and feel inordinately proud of self.

Now for money-saving book-related post: Was searching for a very scarce recipe pamphlet to use in one of my talks/powerpoints. Found it on Adall/Antiqubook site for $10. The seller's website was listed. Went to website and there it was for $5! Of course, I ordered it. Shipping was less, too. Moral of story: always check seller's website to see if price is better there. (BTW, it arrived beautifully-packed in plastic, with seller's website bookmark, a card describing grading of books in general, AND a cute set of note papers).

It's miserable out today. In fact, it's so humid, the window in the basement window well that leaked in the last rain hasn't dried out enough so we can re-caulk. We're going to try the hairdryer trick next.

I really hope everyone has a great day! My toes are tapping, my heart is singing, and I'm a very happy girl.
