FOND MEMORIES -- ABeautifulMind's graphic appropriately signals the opening weekend of "American Idol Rewind - Season 2."
'Grandma Fog' Takes Hold
Season 2 'Idol Rewind' Set
Sleeping contentedly more than a thousand miles away, my new grandson has no way of knowing his presence Thursday teamed with my natural tendencies toward procrastination and played havoc with some best laid plans for a productive morning.
After celebrating grandson Kai's birth for the past two outings, this blog was slated to return to its normal routine focusing on a very special singer from my home state, Clay Aiken.
"Grandma Fog," probably akin to the "Aiken" variety, literally whittled away my morning as I happily attached baby photos to email replies, searched online camera sites for a must-have grandparent purchase, and squeezed in a detailed telephone update from my daughter.
As the sun rose, the "fog" persisted, edging to the back burner not only a new Clay Aiken entry but also preparations for the afternoon's music lessons, a rehearsal and map-quest for Friday's flute gig, and -- the least desirable of all -- further organization of income tax records for the fast approaching October filing deadline.
In all my dilly dallying, I learned about Woot, an online store that features a new deal each day. Though I chose a different model, Thursday's focus was an excellent little camera and a great buy.
At 12 a.m. central time seven days a week, Woot releases a new product at a reduced price; so I have bookmarked this site for future daily visits.
