I have no big plans and not even a very good list of stuff that I want to do.

• My newspapers and some boxes need to go down to the recycling dumpster.
• I have stuff in three places that needs to go to goodwill - at a minimum, it needs to all get in the car.
• I have one load of laundry that wants to be laundered.
• The library has several holds waiting for me.  So I'll probably scoot by there and the grocery.
• I bought a shirt at Sears a few weeks ago - a Sears brand.  I've worn and washed it a couple of times and I love it.  I think I'll pop by today and get me another one.

I love my new keyboard.  teasdale has one just like it and she likes the purple.  I'm with her.

Most all of my reading these days is done via my ears.  I love audio books. I  can read and knit and read and play computer games and read and workout and read and eat.  Easily.  My library has downloadable audio books from two different sources.  But, the selection is kind of limited even with two different electronic libraries.  So I supplement with books on CD that I check out from the library and rip to MP3's (then I also 'sew' them together so each book is one big file).  The beauty of this is that I can absorb as many books as the library can provide.  I rip and save for when I am ready to read them.  The library even has an RSS feed that I subscribe to that lets me know what new books on CD they have gotten lately. 

I have lots and lots and lots of books now MP3'd.   And finding room and keeping them organized is not that trivial.  I lost one book the other day.  And finally found it this morning - it had gotten into another folder somehow and misnamed.   I did finally move a bunch of those I've already read to an external drive I no longer use.  I need to come up with a better plan. 

But for now I think I'll just get going.
