What advice would you give to your teenage self?
I would tell myself to lighten up and be less serious.
Not to be so worried about what others think about me.
Just be me, the good, the bad, and the ugly of me.
Yes, mistakes will be made. Learn from them and move on.
Life is meant to be lived not just survived.
Okay! This is the first of the Bloganuary challenge-response from me.
I am telling myself that I will post every day this month. Well, we’ll see.
!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Today is Two Shoes Tuesday
and the prompt is
sacred and/or store.
I have shopped at the Amazon store
Josie had a drawing to celebrate her
Two Shoes Tuesday 100th post.
And I won!
$100.00 Amazon Gift Card.
So cyber shopping I went.
I have two new things:
A Charging Station for my tablet and phone.
It is great because it eliminates the need for extension cords
to accommodate all the wires needed to charge stuff.
As you can see it has places for three plugs
and what you can’t see is the place for three for USB cords.
My tablet is my alarm clock.
While I sleep it charges, 🙂
and wakes me up in the morning. 😦
Then I got a super-duper Blu-Ray DVD player.
It plays all kinds of discs and has wi-fi.
With the wi-fi I can stream Netflix, Hulu, Pandora,
and other stuff I don’t know about yet.
I can also download stuff from my computer to a jump drive thingie
and then plug the thingie into the DVD player and
Voila!
I can see it on my computer.
As you can see the player is not hooked up.
The charger was simple…plug it in and done.
The DVD player has 17 pages of set up instructions.
I think I will need some time and patience when I tackle this project.
Maybe a bottle of wine.
Of course, the reviews on Amazon say it is easy to do.
But then the folks who posted those reviews
are the ones that survived the process to write about it.
I will let you know how it goes.
Thank you, Josie!

The snow and ice are gone.
\O/
Everything is back to normal
although some folks still don’t have power,
and that is not good…they are not especially happy.
I would be very cranky.
So all is well…but…
last night we had an earthquake.
Really!
It was a 4.1 centered about 60 miles from here.
There was a loud noise and the building sort of vibrated.
No damage and no one hurt.
So all is well.
I have experienced
tornadoes, blizzards, a hurricane, ice storms, and now an earthquake.
I am thankful that I survived them all
with just some inconvenience and no bad stuff.
Wonder what will be next?
