Last night, I took my nook out of the bowl of rice. It still wouldn’t turn on, so I decided to charge it and see if it would come on after that. I’d resigned myself to the fact that I was going to have to buy another nook. When I plugged it in to charge, the little orange light came on. After 30 minutes or so, the screen came on. I was so excited at seeing it that I could hardly breathe. I didn’t think to take a photo of the lovely, perfect, working screen until this afternoon.

I love this coffee cup that my youngest daughter gave me for Christmas.

When I went to bed on January 2, I left my nook (on standby) on the rug beside my bed. During the night, I somehow knocked off the glass of water that was on my nightstand. The next day, my nook had little lines across the screen and wouldn’t turn on after I had it in front of a fan for most of the day. My oldest daughter suggested that I put it in rice to soak up the moisture, so into a big bowl of rice it went to stay for a few days.

We recently discovered a little diner on Route 66 in Yukon, Oklahoma called Fat Elvis’ diner (formerly Sid’s Diner). The owner is an Elvis impersonator. When we were there, my 15 yr old daughter and one of her best friends posed for a photo with “Elvis.”
happy birthday to me!

Today is my birthday. I couldn’t let anyone eat this pretty cupcake without getting a photo first.
inspiration
Posted: November 27, 2011 Filed under: journal Leave a comment »Today’s question: Who inspires you?
My answer: My mom. She’s amazing. She is the best person I know. Her integrity, the example she sets for everyone who knows her, her work ethic are all things that set her apart. She’s gentle but tough, she loves fiercely and is always willing to stand up for what she believes in. She inspires me every day. I’m thankful she’s my mom and my friend. I hope my kids will look at me the way I see her.
