Saturday Odds and Ends

kybearfuzzI did my usual routine Saturday stuff today and there are some highlights so far.
- I ran my 3.2 miles this morning. I tried for 4, but ran out of steam. There was a nice mustachioed daddy bear walking his dogs along the trail, so at least there was something to look at besides nature.
- I had to get my Christmas cards printed at a different Kinko's location. The one I had been using was supposed to send me proofs to approve on Thursday and I still haven't gotten them. I went there today to ask about them, but they were swamped. I lost confidence that they'd do it right, so I went to the one where I had my comic book printed (the file copy) and set them up there. The clerk has an HRC sticker on her car so I suspect she might be family. She loved the "naughty" card, so I have confidence she'll do much better than the other location.
- Joseph Beth has opened a bookstore where my favorite Borders closed. I'm still sad to see Borders go, but I'm happy another bookstore is there. They don't sell DVD's which is sad, but DVD's never did sell well there. I met a single bearded buyer working there today, I'll call him Brian, the Sci-Fi Bear. Not sure if he's family, but he's bearded, tall, bald, handsome and no ring on his finger. I bought a book because he suggested it. I'm so stupid.
- Had anyone every ordered large items from Ikea? Is the delivery of large things an issue or overly expensive? I'm thinking about ordering bookshelves. There is an Ikea here in the Cincinnati area, but buying furniture is hard to transport with my little Toyota Corolla.
- Brian (

PaycheckFoods where the handsome, gingerbear butcher has sold me more meat than I originally intended. =]no subject

Date: 2011-11-20 10:15 pm (UTC)I'll have to consider the FB thing. I currently post the issues to the LJ Scrapbook, I wonder if I should try to post the images elsewhere.
