I'm reading Jai Pausch's new book 'Dream New Dreams' and the first few pages where she describes meeting Randy Pausch (The Last Lecture) are nothing short of magical. She will talk about her 2 years of caregiving and life after loss, her husband died of pancreatic cancer 4 years ago and I had read his inspiring book then. It's interesting that she has since re-married and I have to read her story of survival.
I recently read about Youbidlocal in the newspaper. Apparently you can save money by bidding on items at these local auction houses. I've never bid at an auction real or virtual, have you?
Here is more on that interesting article on saving money.

I will definitely buy Jai's book on my Kindle. Thanks for the heads up, Christine. As for auctions, I stay away from them.
ReplyDeletenice share, btw following you
ReplyDeleteThe book sounds good. Auctions are fun, but you have to set yourself a limit and keep to it, or you could get carried away! Valeroe
ReplyDeleteOh that is interesting as I read his book too so I will definitely go and get hers too. Thanks Christine. Still thinking of those cupcakes...lol
ReplyDeleteI'll never forget watching The Last Lecture although I never did read it. Randy Pausch seems like he was a great man. I'll have to check out that book. I haven't bid on anything before but I think it might be kind of fun.
ReplyDeleteI did a few bidding on eBay for items that I wanted. It was nerve-breaking moments.
ReplyDeleteI was moved to tears by Randy Pausch's The Last Lecture! Happiness to Jai.
the book sounds very interesting, I have been to a an auction once but my husband is an Ebay pro, ha ha,
ReplyDeleteYou know, it is so hard to flog a memoir in Canada. Mine isn't selling well.
ReplyDeletePausch was an interesting man.
