While searching for a tan

I am still in search of a tan. But while I'm searching I might as well make the most of it.....

So I have decided to read the Harry Potter series AGAIN..for the third time. This time on my Nook. I have borrowed them from the library, it's a good thing. I fear that I may be the oldest person alive reading them...again...for the third time.

Maybe I am looking for my lost youth. Maybe I'm trying to hide from my adulthood. Either way it is a sad statement of my life. Last week I went a little crazy because Prisoner of Azkaban was not available for check out. I thought that I could read a good respectable adult book while I waited...I was wrong. I had withdrawals. Shaking, drooling, mumbling...then I got the e-mail that told me it was available for purchase!!!! I was singing dancing, considering renaming my dog Dobby.

Now I am Harry Potter heaven.-

I even joined Pottermore...I spent two hours on there today. I only got off when I couldn't figure out how to mix a potion. I think I'll get a kid to help me pass that part.Then of course I wondered if I was the oldest person in Pottermore...on Pottermore?

I am thinking that I am going to ask for the movies for my birthday/Christmas. Maybe not. I have a feeling that Mr. Albino would look at me like I was Rita Skeeter (actually I just realized that I must resemble Dolores Umbridge, short and squat and have a thing for cats)

And so I leave you because I have several more books to read and I maybe, just maybe I can read them all back to back...then watch the movies, and get the action figures, and get a Hufflepuff shirt and....

I had to find just the right picture to use and I think I did

I win

Back in the Summer I found out that GoPhone makes a smart phone. I bought one. The longer I have it the more I like it. It has apps, so of course I have every Angry Birds app. It came with Facebook and Twitter. Yesterday as my ipod battery was draining and telling me repeatedly that I had 20% power left I realized I had no music to listen to!!! The HORROR!!! I picked up my phone that was charging and prayed for something to come out of it's speakers.

Praise the Lord there was an "I Heart Radio" app. I had I downloaded in minutes and was listening to K-LOVE. Then I found Air1.

After lunch I found the Pandora  Radio app. YAY!!!! I listened to Comedy for the rest of the day.

Today...Pandora...PG Comedy.

I tanned at lunch and listened to PG Comedy in the tanning bed.

 I realized after lunch that there is not a a lot of PG Comedy...It started repeating itself...with stuff that had been on 30 minutes before. But I got to laugh. Laughing's the best

I won the tan war this week.

Like a…ummmm

Ok this really isn’t first post. It is my first post for my new blog.
I hope to take a lighthearted look at life and offer up some laughs every now and then.
I want to explain the name. I do not mean to offend anyone.
Several weeks ago I joined a gym. If the Pillsbury Doughboy were female it would be me. Mr. Doughgirl has lost 90 pounds since May and I can not let him weigh less than me. One of the perks is that the gym has a tanning bed. I love to tan, not so I can get white but so I can take a nap during lunch and no one looks down on you.
Last week my BFF realized that we were the same shade. She was not having any of that. You would think that she would be happy being the skinny pretty one but noooo.  Sometime, somehow we began a war or words (texts really) about who was tanner. I am now determined that I am going to look like Beyonce. She is going for a darker look.  Not happy with that we began insulting the other one for being too pale. Numerous names were mentioned.
The next day she began again and I said that I was an albino in search of a tan. I decided that that would be a perfect name for a book or a blog and settled on a blog.
So this is the first post of the new blog. I hope you smiled because smiling is the best.
