Quote of the day:They say that love conquers all. Maybe,
but *I* haven't lost faith in armored
divisions with awesome firepower coupled
with total air and naval superiority.

Books!
Books! My books are here!!! {insert appropriate happy dance here!} Ohhh, I'm in heaven now! I got 3 packages today. I was searching on HSN.com for father's day gifts for hubby. Found a couple things on clearance. One came! Yes! I can't keep secrets for the life of me. I just had to tell him. I did make him guess. Took him a while because I told him I spent less than $20 on 2 items with s&h. This stuff was very clearanced. Shirt was either $7 or $12. I can't rememeber which. On item was the one price, you get the idea. Woohoo!! Excitement now! Can you tell?
Picture of the books: As you can see I have 2. Each one is a set of books. 'Texas Trilogy' is obviously 3 books. It is my monthly trashy romance. I am so excited! 'Time Quartet' is obviously 4 books. I will do a comprehensive book report on this one. I have read these before. The first one: 'A Wrinkle in Time' was required reading in English 7th grade. It is science fiction. It was my first foray and introduction into this genre. I liked it so much, I went straight to the library to get them all. I'm unsure whether I read the fourth one. I saw it on the Zooba list and had to have it. It will be good reading for my kids later too. If your kids haven't read it, you might want to suggest it. Don't worry, it's clean unlike my many trashy romances. Your child's imagination will reach new levels with these books, I promise. If you haven't read it, you really should. Even if you don't like science fiction, checking the first one 'A Wrinkle in Time' by Madeleine L'Engle is atleast worth the read. Atleast try it. You must trust me on this one. Full disclosure of all 4 books, I promise. As soon as I reaquaint myself with them. You know me, I'm sure to re-read 4 or 5 times before I tell you.
Picture of the shirt: Hubby is major Chiefs fan. Die hard, like the rest of his family. He doesn't have many chiefs shirts. He wears them to work, so they are stained and 'holey'. We joke they are his sunday shirts ;). He won't let me pitch them, so I endeavor to get new ones when I can. I'm giving it to him when he gets home from work. I have never been able to wait to give a gift after I get it. My family is used to it by now. They get their presents before the appropriate holidays because I can't help myself. I get so excited that I found the 'perfect' thing. A lot of thought goes into them. Ah, well he'll like it. When we went to the game last september, I think, he couldn't find a shirt that said chiefs that wasn't ruined. Ended up with a plain red one from wal-mart. He was soooo disappointed. It's like taking a kid into a toy store and telling them they can have whatever they want, no expense spared. And when they decide you tell them, nope changed my mind can't have it. I'll show you the pants when they get here. I'm so excited. He's working day with his brother today so he'll be home sometime after 5pm.
Have fun ya'll, I know I will. So EXCITED! |
