After watching Juile and Julia, I thought it would be fun to start my own blog. Not having any idea how since I am older (not much) than the computer generation, I had to Google - How to start a blog. It was not as hard as I thought. Thinking of a name was harder. I chose Deb the Web because I have been called that for many years by former coworkers. I am not sure what I am going to write about. I guess it will be about everyday life.
Back to work today after Christmas. I always get a certain sadness after Christmas. The high is over. No more shopping and wrapping, no more secrets and decorations. No more baking. Most of all though, I miss the christmas songs on the radio. The cold turkey is too much. They should wean us through, tapering off a little each day until New Years Day night.
This year I received a Nook put out by Barnes and Noble. It is an electronic handheld devise which you can download books into, very much like the Sony Ereader. I was so excited and had paid upfront to order. I ordered it over a month ago and it was delivered Christmas eve. I was disappointed that I could not connect to the internet to download for 4 days due to the volume of people who received it for Christmas. Not only was I disappointed that I could not use it, but I was aggravated that we had to spend countless hours on hold trying to correct this. Shame on Barnes and Noble. I guess I should be happy I got mine in time for Christmas. Others did not. Well I am off to go try my NOOK. I hope you all got what you wanted for Christmas. I will let you know if it was worth the money and the wait.
