Stephanie Says.. Take a walk inside my head

Some of you are concerned about the tone of my last post.  I myself am concerned about the tone of my last post. So,…in a spirit of “I am doing better”, here are some things on the Internet that I like:

 First is the aforementioned -Cracked-.  It’s a satirical, often irreverant website that talks a lot about sex and cuss words (often in list form).  As a good little girl, part of me is appalled at the language.  But the other part of me finds it sooo funny.  My favorite post so far addressed Biblical “superpowers” and how they are so much cooler than anything posessed by Superman and his ilk.  Who knew that Elijah and Elisha wielded so much charisma?

 I also play a lot on You Tube.  For some reason, I don’t often turn the speakers on at home, so I spend the time that Kenny is working after hours looking up videos (mostly from the ’80’s) and singing along.  I got stuck on Tiffany’s version of “I Think We’re Alone Now” last week.  This week I’m moving on to one of my favorite songs ever, Belinda Carlisle’s “Half the World”.  Next week, I think I’m going to look up Vanessa Williams’ “Save the Best for Last”.

And now we come to my favorite, favorite site.  If you don’t know www.booksfree.com, you should.  It is, of course, not free, but the membership fee is so worth it.  All I have to do is make a list of books that I want  to “rent” (kind of like the DVD list on Netflix), order them by how quickly I want to read them and wait for my little pre paid envelope to arrive.  This has greatly cut down on bookstore fees, and, since I tend to read a book once then give it away, makes Kenny very happy.  One could, of course, get the same service from one’s local library, but for some reason I never go there.  However, I spend tons of time on-line so this fits my lifestyle perfectly.

I’m really not a computer person.  I couldn’t format anything if my life depended on it, and I have to get Kenny to download things that come in my e-mail.  Still, I can entertain myself pretty well with these three sites.

In other news, Mike got us all shakes this afternoon!  How cool is that?
