This Morning

Italian Phrase of the Day: Aspetto con impaziena si andare sulla festa. I am looking forward to going on holiday.

Si, aspetto con impaziena si andare sulla festa a Firenze nel forse l’autunna questo anno!
Ok, today is a list-making day.

go for a walk. This is done since my walking buddy came by this morning
work on Italian. I have pans to review the numbers 1-16 and to go on from there.
go for another walk later with the newly renovated IPod!
clean out the refrigerator
call the 800 number re the last book. {details below}
finish the book I am reading It is the latest by J.A.Jance.

Ok, more detail about the book for Italian. It is a book and a CD and it is called Viva Voce. La prof gave me a website {inder construction}, a phone number {not the publisher of the book} and an 800 number which as yet I haven’t tried. I googled the book and got ONE hit—and it is in Italy. The book and CD cost $21. The postage from Italy is $25! I have a feeling that this book will not be bougt. The other two are already here…

QUOTATION FOR THIS MONTH: If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment. — Marcus Aurelius

Until later….

I like that quote!

Here’s wishing you a lovely day and good walks! Since I finally have both Joes shipped off to work, I “should” do some housework. I will make a list!! hugs, Weesprite

Ahem

Perhaps your local bookseller could order the book for less.

Postage is a killer! I know. I’ve mailed things where the postage is costlier than the item I shipped. I think the La Prof should use a more readily available book.

I just found a whole new section of filters in my photo editing software. I am so darn stoked and I knew you would understand! Marcus Aurelius was a pretty decent general…and philosopher too, apparently.

ryn: well you choose what you need to work on first then take the walk, I think it will be fine because you are addicted to walking! : ) *huggs* and boy do I wish I had an mp3 player to walk with, so I have to sing to myself! ; D

interesting non-information on where to get that book. Hope you’re able to find it at a decent price. If you had the ISBN number, it would probably be a lot easier to locate.
