Retail Therapy

I've been a little down recently.  And yes I know that in the grand scheme of things I have no right or reason to be upset, but if I really need a reason you'll give me one.  That's well and good... but as is the case with just about every writer I've ever met, heard or read about it, I'm just facing one of those spells.  So there.  In addition I've had a fiercely unproductive day.  What does one do other than pop pills?  Online shopping.  Ta-da!  Without leaving my home, I can, with a little internet browsing, find something that will make me happy, order it all by myself without consulting anyone else, and have something to look forward to.    

So I went to Fishs Eddy and made my first purchase there after spending a year admiring their products.  In a matter of days, these beautiful Italian wine glasses will arrive at my door.  When they come, I will sit on my rooftop and do the other thing most writers spend their time doing... drink!    

Hable & Editorial Comment

Organized my closet yesterday and was reminded how much I love these Hable Construction storage boxes.  

They are a nice alternative to plastic or cardboard storage containers.  If you sign up for Hable's emails, they apprise you of upcoming sales --- helps to take some of the bite out of the cost.

As a side note-- in writing about such trivialities, I'm not attempting to ignore the bigger issues in the world today (recession, Mumbai attacks, etc), but I am trying to point out things that can help me stay positive and to keep me moving forward in light of such events.  I fully acknowledge how inconsequential these posts may be and trust that my readers spend ample time consulting multiple and varied news sources.
