Lunch for me is a sad affair. I used to go to lunch with two complete goof balls and I loved every minute of it, but alas for reasons I can't print on-line :) they have moved on and out of the city limits and I am now on my own for lunch. Don't feel bad for me, I could easily call up a friend or even walk to sister's job to get some much needed exercise and have fun but I'm not yet up to having lunch with anyone just yet. Its hard to replace two goofballs. :)
So let me tell you about my trip into....Borders!!! Oh....Ah....yes the land of books, my 2nd home. I actually started to walk there to study but my last foray into studying in the public caused me to encounter a weirdo who asked what I was studying. He promptly freaked me out and I left before I was able to divulge the secrets of the "selection" process. So no more studying in public, its best to stay on one's feet while you are in the city so you can't be cornered. Anywho back to the books, the lovely books, ah just the smell of the bookstore puts me in a good mood. Please pardon if my images are shaky as they were taken with my cell phone camera, plus I was so excited to be out I kept jumping around the store like a crazy person.
First up, a great gift for my SIL (sister-in-law). I think she'd love this now that Miss A and Little Miss A are now both in school. This would definitely help her get the girls and the family ready for the school year.
Right around the corner I found a great gift for the holidays for all the lovely ladies in my family and maybe even for myself. Isn't it cute.
I got to thinking though soon the babies would be in school and I could buy this for Sister and SIL, but that would just make them cry....maybe I'll still get it. :)
After a while I headed over to the children section and saw this great find for my niece Miss A.
As I looked down from this book, I noticed this new book....
I had never read it before and just couldn't help myself from having a seat and losing myself in the world of Where the Wild Things Are.....I loved it and plan on adding it to my collection one day soon. I didn't stop there though, I moved along and found this gem and read along.
Its even better in Spanish, another one I'll need to add to my collection. Slightly over to the left I noticed this cuite....
Harry Poter en espanol, no puedes ser. One day soon maybe I'll add this one too to my collection. What better way to brush up on your Spanish than by reading something enjoyable. The lunch hour was drawing to a close and before I made my way out something else caught my eye....
LOST!?!? Why is he lost, what's happen to him, how could his owner not know he was gone. Poor Edward. It took every ounce of strength that I had to leave the store and not sit down at that very moment to discover Edward's journey, but here I am thinking of Edward Tulane again. I should be studying but I still can't help but wonder how did it happen and how does Edward become reunited with his owner.
If anyone out there is reading this (hint....sister) you know my birthday is coming up and I never ask for anything, except for the garland that you made the other day, maybe the chocolate or candy or cookies you have in your purse for BB, or to borrow a movie, or to borrow your madeline pan which I haven't given back yet...besides those things you know I don't ask for much, but this time its a matter of sanity. Would you please consider buying this book for me for my birthday. I promise I won't ask for another thing, until she writes another book or I find something that is equally interesting in the future. If you do I would be such a happy girl, remember how happy I was when you bought me Desperaux....well you could make that happen again and be the greatest sister in the whole wide world. No pressure. No pressure at all.
Okay, back to studying, but I can't help but think of a little china rabbit........hmmm I wonder what happened to Edward Tulane...
