Winner = me!
We had a pretty jolly day today, all things considered. Caro got up early and went to an estate sale, but she only bought a few books because we are still in money-conservation mode. They suggested she come back later when things were priced to really go, and that time I went along too. So we got a big box of pretty decent stuff for $10. The most unusual book was an 1840 book of Doctrines and Disciplines of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It's not madly rare, but we might get as much as $50 for it, so that was nice.
While we were in town, we stopped at one of the hardware stores, Building Material Supply, because they were having a Grand ReOpening (after an extensive remodel) and giving away free hot dogs. Also they were having drawings for prizes. Sadly, I did not win the trip to Las Vegas, but I DID win a free can of WD-40, PLUS a RADIO shaped like a can of WD-40. How cool is that??
The best thing about today, though, is that 13 years ago I got a really GOOD present from my daughter Damaris -- my first grandchild!
I read somewhere recently that there is a new trend for baby showers and birthdays, to get the kid his or her name as a domain name. This seemed like a good plan to me, and since I have BOATLOADS of space on my host site, I decided to go hog wild and set him up with a subdomain there. Happily, even though it has been two years since last I set up a forwarded subdomain, I managed to do it with only one major error delaying me for a while.
You'd think after all these years I would be able to remember to spell 'neonnurse' with two middle Ns!
