Why are Vintage Glasses so expensive?

 Today I spent several hours looking for a pair of Vintage Safilo Elasta 1067 frames. My Dad broke his (he left them in the bed and laid on them). I saw a set of frames for $86.00! Now, I personally don't need glasses but that was a bit of sticker shock. 

I found sunglasses that seem to be it. I will not even begin to make sense of it. My Dad is excited. I'm trying not to grimace at the price tag.

Marry Me is Out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Yes, I am that excited. The moment I finish this post, I am going to watch the film with my mother. We have been waiting for this film for over a year. Each time it was postponed, you could've heard our groans from a mile away. 

We have been listening to every little bit of the sound tract that has been trickling out. I am almost beyond words, that's how ecstatic I am. Totally check Jennifer Lopez and Maluma out to hear their work. They sound incredible together.

This post is early because I will be busy with my family this coming week. I will try to resume normal posting the week after next (does that make sense?). As always, feel free to leave a message below.

When you wait impatiently.... Play an Audio Book!

 My mom has the SD Card I like to call the Series Card. She's had it for days and I don't know when I will get it back. So to pass the time, I'm enjoying all my new audiobooks. I started Bad Luck Bridesmaid by Alison Rose Greenberg. I have so far found it charming. 

LB2 raided my new audiobooks to find his own perfect read or listen. I don't know what to call it. Jody Hedlund's Come Back to Me was one of the adiobooks he swiped. It was absolutely perfect. I totally recommend it to lovers of Outlander for its time travel aspect. LB2 and I were on pin and needles as we listened.

One of the reasons I love Audiobooks so much is the portability they give me. Sometimes my hands are too busy to hold a book but my mind will be so doggone bored. Listening to an audiobook is like a multitasker's best dream. I will tackle all the house work and listen to two characters fall in love if people will simply stop talking to me. I don't want to know what our neighbors are up to, I want Richard Armitage to continue reading to me. Side note: He really does have the nicest voice. Also LB2 hates him.

At last Check....

 I had 22,943 ebooks, some of which are compilations with up to five novels in one. You all are the fourth ones to know. And yes, I have not read them all.  That doesn't mean I don't try to.

Right now, I can't to do any of that. My Kindle Fire 7 doesn't read pdfs. So, I am back to reading off a computer. That means, I can only watch or listen to things on my Fire. I won't complain too much. The Kindle was a gift from my uncle so if it wasn't for him, I'd be up an excrement creek with no paddle, facing killer rapids and a waterfall. Not my kinda place.

Right now, I'm going on an audiobook spree. If I can't read it, I will listen to it. And audiobooks count every bit as much as reading the book itself. 

As always, feel free to leave a message below.

P.S. So, my Kindle updated itself so that I now have access to all my PDFs. I'm sorry Fire that I doubted you and gave you the finger. That was not nice of me.

When tech lets you down..........

 Today, my tablet refuses to turn on. I have been using it to play music and listen to audiobooks since my mp3 player died. It is beyond frustrating. I just want all my tech to work fine. I don't want to deal with hiccups like this.

I am think that as soon as I get the funds, I will be getting a new tablet as well. I don't want to but I don't think I have a choice anymore. Now, to get the money.......

Life without a MP3 Player

 So, the battery on my mp3 player blew up. I can't complain. It gave me two beautiful years of music and Radio. It was an AGPTek, I forget the model. I went with them again because they seemed durable to me. They are very good though my family has had mixed results with them. I look forward to getting a new one the moment I recruit the money. Til then, I am in music limbo.

I put all my music on a sd card and play it off of my tablet bet it's just not the same. I miss the ability to listen to music and read at the same time. I miss washing dishes to my favorite jams. I miss lip-singing in the dark to the radio. I miss listening to an audiobook while doing laundry. I miss my mp3 player.

When you want to do something, but can't......

 So, I was one episode away from finishing a season of a show I got, when my mom took my card and I have yet to get it back. She's found herself hooked on the show Our Kind of People. I don't think I will get my card back anytime soon. 

I guess I will have to wait for it. Ha, Hamilton reference! I adored that musical. I saw a casting call for when they went on tour and my family kept urging me to audition because I know all the lyrics. I said no because I am so clumsy and uncoordinated that I would fall flat on my face opening night. That's my type of luck.
