I could spend ALL DAY on the computer. It involves sitting. I like sitting. And it is rewarding for people who are into LISTS, also for people suffering from ADD. Trying to figure out this blogging thing. Why don't people offer CLASSES on it? Sitting in a peaceful library is my idea of a good time on a day when the temperature is supposed to top 90 degrees. Yesterday I joined yet ANOTHER library system so I have even more libraries to sit in. I did do more than just that yesterday. I enjoyed the beach, shopped, ate, tried to take a walk on the "promenade" in Cape May (but it was too hot for me). All this gorgeousity...and only one hour from my house. Don't ask me why I have not been down there at all in 2012 until August 30. Here's my new idea - visit every exit on the Garden State Parkway and explore and write about it. Cape May is at exit 0. Now here is my sister's idea - that I should blog from all the different libraries I visit. Reminds me of my visit to the library of Telluride, Colorado. It is in a small building which used to be a jail. They have a notebook and the patrons bring back stories and photographs of libraries they have seen all over the world. Telluride is that kind of place. Thinking of doing reviews....of libraries, restaurants, books, etc. Still sipping my free cup of coffee from our new McDonald's. You can get a free small coffee through September 8th. Why do I seem to be the only person really excited about this? When you are retired, you LIVE for this sort of thing. Did I say this already on another post? How do people keep track of whether they are repeating themselves?

Down in Cape May, New Jersey, for the very first time all summer. How can I let someplace so incredibly beautiful be unexplored?
Thinking about lists....Angie's list, Craig's list, Emily's list. I have a lot of lists, but what could be of interest to the entire world!?!?!?
Spent a lot of time with Sprint representatives this week. My cell phone or my cell phone provider are REALLY getting on my nerves. In fact, I need to start a new list of all the problems with my phone. Could life be any better with another company? Trying to resist the temptation to get the iPhone. In fact, I tried it in the store and decided I just can't deal with something SO SMALL. Listening to the people complaining in the store made me really glad I retired two months ago. I lost my patience for listening to people needing and griping and demanding. And that was when they were getting stuff for FREE. It horrifies me to think about how they act when they have PAID for something.
Went to a new nail salon yesterday. I should have walked out immediately, but I sat down and had a manicure by a distasteful young man of Asian descent. He was shabbily dressed with holes in his jeans and seemed either very ill or on the way to death. I can't stand sick people and was trying not to breathe the air. The place had no customers and nothing creeps me out like that. Plus it was dirty and shabby. Well, I will try anything ONCE but that almost did me in. Just cause I was too lazy to drive to another town where I usually go to have my nails done.

I am somewhat worried about my Louisiana cousins. They always seem to be in the way of these big storms. Here I sit in GORGEOUS Southern New Jersey, and I am not even outside appreciated the great weather. I have an obsessive need to get on the computer for a few hours each day. In general I am obsessive, compulsive and perhaps ADD as well. I come to a four way stop, start thinking about something, and forget to proceed!

Big event for the day was the grand opening of a new McDonald's in my town. I was mostly excited about the wireless access and the FREE coffee. I sat there for several hours watching the passing show. Many families of all colors came and went, some better behaved than others. Many adorable children. I was the only person on a computer and the management was probably very glad about that. Frankly, it was not an ideal spot to do my computer "stuff". Children were shrieking and chattering in English and Spanish. An incredible amount of business was being conducted. I asked the manager if he was afraid of running out of food! He laughed and said "NO".
