Twenty-Eight Days Until We Leave Arizona

What happened to yesterday's blog? I forgot. I got busy. I got lazy. There was nothing worth reporting...which, of course, just isn't the truth because one only has to open a newspaper and see that there's a whole lot of stuff happening. Of course my stuff doesn't usually hit the newspapers so.... Actually, I bought three new books at the bookstore on Sunday and that's why I didn't blog. I read all three books. I gulped them down like the true addict that I am. I set down the books only long enough to make meals, eat meals, do the laundry and sleep. I gorged myself, sucking down books like some poor soul who sits down and consumes a pound of chocolate candy in one sitting. I really hate it when I do that....not the chocolate thing. The book thing. I do love chocolate but there's no way that I could sit down and eat a pound of the stuff...even if it happens to be Godiva's truffles. The thing is that now I don't have anything to read until I go back to the bookstore and buy that new Christine Feehan book. It came out yesterday but I haven't had a chance to go out and buy it. Maybe I'll run out later to get it. HTP has the car today so I've got to wait. I suppose I could have ordered it from Amazon but that takes a lot longer than just going to the store to buy it. I reserve Amazon for when we're in Wisconsin. The closest bookstore to us in Wisconsin is a tiny little store front bookstore and their inventory isn't always what it should be. I'm told that I can special order books through them but I can do that through Amazon and I don't have to use a middleman. I'm sure I'll be ordering books aplenty this summer from Amazon, Walmart, and Overstock.com.
