Free Mother's Day gifts from the kids

Both Home Depot and Lowe's are offering workshops the next few Saturdays to help kids make their own Mother's Day gift. Kids can build a planter for mom. (A great idea!) You can never have too many homemade gifts from the kids.

Check out the details below . . .

Ready for our own sitcom

It is official, we need our own tv show. Not only is the day to day life interesting - -to say the least, but Husband is now playing on the work bowling team. Seriously.

If the day ever comes when he is walking out of the house on a Wednesday night, bowling ball bag in hand, bowling shirt on, I am calling the network. We will have officially become a tv family.

If only we had a crazy neighbor . . . okay check
If only we had interesting friends . . okay check
If only we got ourselves into interesting siutations . . . okay check.

I guess we are ready. Now, to start shopping for a dog, Lassie or Rover perhaps.

There is no peace

Seriously, I gave up working at Barnes and Noble because of some of the interesting people that were making it difficult to get things done.

You will never believe this one. I am at the public library. There is someone talking loudly on the cell phone. I kid you not. It is silent except for this man talking.

Where can I find a quiet place to work?

It gets better. Someone actually spoke up! Maybe this is the perfect place to get a little writing done.

Barnes and Noble phobia story #375

Okay, I get it. I need to find a new place to write.

Typically, I don't blog about it while I am here, but I want to be sure to not leave out any of the details. So, here I am typing away, working on writing, and a guy sits down with his coffee. So far, fairly normal. But then, instead of sitting correctly in his seat, he sits out, facing all of the people in the center of the cafe. Again, not to weird.

Okay, how about the odd noises that he can't seem to stop making? How about the fact that he is taking his time staring at each one of the people at the tables working or talking. About 20 minutes ago, it was funny. I think I may have even chuckled aloud. And yet, here we are, much later, and it is still going on. Do you think these things would stop happening around me if I posted a little sign at my table that said, "Try not to do anything weird or out of the ordinary. I am a writer and I may be forced to blog about you."

Why am I not leaving you ask? Easy. There is free wi-fi here.

I am thinking about starting another blog and just calling it, "Barnes and Noble: Is it just me?"
