Books!!

Today has been productive, so I think it's OK to laze about a bit now. I got to the folks, got laundry done (and managed to leave all my pants over there, tomorrow I ought to look cute for work). Mom and I went to Barnes and Noble for May book-fest. We managed to spend more than some spend for rent on books, and then on our way out, Mom pointed at one last book. I couldn't believe which one it was...

The Fire Cat!!! That was my absolute favorite children's book. I had it memorized, I drove Mom to distraction to read it to me "one more time", and when I opened it, I couldn't believe that I remembered the story. So now I have a copy, and a couple of lucky others will receive their copies soon.

It's so exciting because it's been out of print forever. W. somehow managed to score a copy for me a few years ago, but some dipshit in Cleveland stole it. A lot of my mail was stolen there. I don't miss my mail being stolen. So, as always, thank you W. for getting it for me!! And thank you, Mom, for getting it into my hands!!
