Summary -
It's been a few weeks, but hey it's summer, my husband turned 40 and I am in the middle of one of my wonderful flare-ups.  Which is made even more fun by how great I was feeling about a week ago.  I could do anything anytime, and now I am just barely making it to work and home each day.  The boys were gone on vacation again last week so that helped.  Our youngest stayed with my Aunt and Uncle while our oldest went with my parents to see the Pittsburgh Pirates play the Miami Marlins.  This was extremely exciting for him because they are his favorite team and it was his first MLB game.  Don't worry, the youngest was invited too but he chose to stay behind and be spoiled by my aunt and uncle.  I know one day they played golf, went to the dollar tree, bought candy, shot pool in the basement and also went out to supper for french fries and a milkshake.  I want to be 9 again (they spoiled me the same way!)  

How was your week?
Have you tried Amazon Unlimited Yet?  I already use Scribd so I don't think I'll keep it after the 30-day trial, but there are some great crafting books available and some interesting indie books as well as well-known ones, so I see the benefit.
What are your thoughts on subscription book services?
