Our typical type of weekend. Walks. Books. Visits. Country.

#1 Found a nice cafe / coffee shop in White Plains, NY called Camille's Sidewalk Cafe. It's at 15 Bank St. -- just caddy corner to the train station. We had a very fine tomato soup and enjoyed the kicked-back atmosphere. Oh and the first very fine picante since we left Texas.

#2 Went to Barnes and Noble for hours. Skimmed over several books ... Purchased The Virtual Handshake by David Teten and Scott Allen. Dove-tails nicely with Talent by Tom Peters that I started reading last week ... which dove-tails with The Long Tail by Chris Anderson. They're very busy confirming some things I've been suspicious of. Yeah. We need to talk.

#3 My friend JoAn called. God is good all the time. He blessed her and her (grown) daughters with a specific blessing we've been requesting.

#4 JoAn has some cancer testing in about 8 days. Please remember her.

#5 Excerpt from conversation with JoAn ...
Me: "JoAn I'm going to have to set the record straight. I made a post about SEO and building blog community and now a few people think I'm a blogging/SEO expert but I'm just telling them what I discovered about two weeks ago!"

Joan:"But hon, you are an expert. You did exactly what your are expert at: Explaining things."

Me: "Uh ... well ... I guess so ... I forget that's what I'm really good at ... but yeah ... I even said that was my expertise in my FAQ About me."

(Pretty funny ... I thought ... that I have to talk to a friend to remember who I am)

#6 Talked to my brothers. Both have 18/ 19 yr old daughters dating. It's so hard on them. (Their older sister has some sympathy for them and their daughters.)

#7 Yesterday I trotted to the train station beside my husband, approx 1.4 miles, in 19 min. Today I walked 4.8 miles with dog and husband. Shelbie dog will sleep for 3 days ... I will be fine ... no hills involved.

#8 We stopped into an antique shop ... does anybody know if $300 is an appropriate price for what appears to be a hand crafted oak dining table ... approx 5ft long and 3.5 ft wide? I have searched the web and 600 images at ebay and I can't find anything like it. I'm going to go back down there and take some pics.

#9 Today we started sorting through the benefits package for 2007. With us coming in from the woods ... well so many choices is dang confusing. Tomorrow Billy and I are going to place a call and talk to some poor soul in benefits ... who doesn't even know they're a poor soul yet.

#10 Perfect ending ... me limping through this post on my poor little baby while Billy uses the good computer to play country music videos ... us humming along ... dog snoring ... LOL and I just thought of the perfect Images for OddMix's word game.
