OMG to the Nth degree

Ok you guys. This is huge for me. HUGE.

My brother-in-law gave me a... get ready for it.... 50 DOLLAR gift card to CHAPTERS!! I will give you a moment to comprehend what you just read and to envy me. Go ahead. I will wait.

So I took my little gift card and went to one of my favorite places on Earth. ( I should also mention that Amie and Dave gave me a gift card to Chapters and I got a Starbucks gift card from one of the sales reps - oh yeah. I said it. Go ahead and envy me because quite frankly I would envy you if you were me )

Where was I? Oh yes...

So I am in Chapters looking around. Is it just me or is it harder to find something when you actually HAVE money? When I don't have money I know exactly what I would get but when I do? Fuh-git abowd it! ( I just remembered I wanted to get a copy of Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook - the pink edition. DAMN! ) But I digress yet again....

What I really wanted was a journal. Not just ANY journal. This absolutely stunning, looks like an antique journal. It was 25 dollars. 25 dollars! I thought about it for a few minutes and decided to go for it. Now, it's one thing to BUY a 25 dollar journal. It's another to decide what you're going to use it for ( after all, it should be something special ).

I decided that I was going to study Welsh this year. It would help me with my Wiccan studies ( most of the Celtic deities are Welsh ) in addition to the book I'm writing, called BWCA. So exciting. I was surfing the information superhighway and found this!!!

So I am learning Welsh on-line... for free! YAY!! I decided to use my new Journal to record my notes and as of a few minutes ago I.... brace yourself... WROTE IN IT!! It seems almost blasphemic to do so but since when do I pay any mind to propriety?
