Crowded Refrigerator
Now that I'm living in a new place, and have a new refrigerator, there isn't as much space for my collection of decorative magnets. So now, I don't display my entire collection at the same time.
Instead, I have only magnets relating to a certain theme on my fridge. My current theme is
"Food and Drink."
Actually, I could have built an entire collection on that theme alone!

Book Ordered
Yesterday I ordered this book from EWTN's Religious Catalog.
It is supposed to be the best book on the life of St. Francis, and I am really looking forward to reading it.

Computer Death
My computer died suddenly a week ago Thursday. No warning, just a blank screen. There was no funeral. I was computerless for almost a week, but several days ago, Pauly, my brother-in-law, got me a new one. You can imagine how much I appreciated that! :)
