It is that time of the week again. My online diary entry that kind of sums things up for the week that I haven't mentioned yet.
First, I went to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned. They are getting very fancy over there, at the dentist. They have new machines, computers and t.v. screens. They had me stand in this surround/digital x-ray contraption. In my humble opinion, they should be using these for mammograms too. Painless!
Okay, brace yourself for this next photo. You will be either fascinated, grossed out, or land someplace in between. The machine above sent this information about my mouth to the hygienist's computer in the exam room:
This week I plan on reading the rest of the stories in the books that I bought from Lisa Richard Claro and Becky Povich. Lisa is published in From the Heart: A Collection of Stories and Poems from the Front Lines of Parenting, and Becky has a story published in Thin Threads: More Real Life Stories of Life Changing Moments. I read their stories as soon as I received the books, but haven't read the rest of the books yet. They should be inspirational and positive.

I love bargain books! That Faye Kellerman one does sound interesting!
Wow -- you packed a lot into that post! You're brave to show your dental x-ray. LOL Thanks for the shout-out. I hope you enjoy the book! My last read was The Road by Cormac McCarthy (different, but excellent) and now I'm in the middle of a Fannie Flagg book. I usually like her stuff, but this one isn't so great. I can't even remember the name of it! I'll finish reading it, though...
Thanks for my shout out, too, Kathy! Have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Lesa, me too! I think it is funny that I review old books on here, but I figure lots of folks review the new releases. We have a little bookstore at the library that is open on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The books are so cheap there. I go every couple of months and spend $10 to add to my library.
Hi Lisa, that x-ray cracked me up! You can even see my ear canals. I haven't read those authors yet; I'll keep my eyes open.
Hi Becky, I spent hours reading the book that you are in yesterday. I love it. It gave me lots of ideas for similar stories of my own. It is very inspirational, and I am so happy to have my copy autographed by you!

One of my libraries has a little store too! I posted all last year on my occasional thrifty book hauls-- I decided to start an official recurrent feature to highlight all my finds-- I'll have my first post up soon-- you might want to participate too.
Lesa, cool! I am going to have to spend a lot of time checking out your website ... there is a lot going on over there.
