Not the Best Photo
A picture has arrived on the blog. I don't know if I could do it again, but it is there. It isn't the best photo, but it's not the worst either. I had this on the laptop from some downloads for work, hence the clutter in the background. Feeling rather smug I thought I'd move on to a list of what I am reading. It is in the post but I can't get it to the blog. Get the book honey!

Biting the Bullet
Today I will go to Barnes & Noble and buy the book. I haven't figured out who or how anyone will be reading this blog. There are tutorials under the help section, but I would feel much better with the big yellow book by my side. Besides, in todays's Sunday paper was a 15% off coupon for any B & N book. Maybe I could get the Disco for Dummies at 45% off instead.

When All Else Fails Read the Directions
I am trying to decide if I need to return to Barnes and Noble and snag the Blogging for Dummies book. I looked at it on Monday, even going so far as to walk to the counter with the dummy book clutched in my dummy mitt. I had caught out of the corner of my eye that the dummy books were on sale, a whopping 30% off. Ever the bargain hunter that I am, 30% of $21.99, well that was pleasing to me.
Only select titles. I guess for the super elite dummies who are so far behind, who don't get it - they could snag a dummy book at 30% off. After thinking about the sale set up I was happy that I wasn't looking at the real dumb dumb lot. I didn't check the titles but I wonder if they were books like: Disco for Dummies.
Well anyway, I like to pride myself, especially around Ron, ("honey let's get the
book out") but in reality, reading directions is a killer. I want to skim, and directions are not skimming stuff. After all, if you are to the direction stage you need more than a fleeting piece of this or a fleeting piece of that. You're to the reading aloud stage, reading aloud slowly.
The dummy book I had my cheap heart set on would probably have avoided all the struggles I am experiencing now, but then I wouldn't be doing what I do best: living life the hard way, or more specifically, blogging the hard way.
