I really try to live by the "No new books till you've finished your last one" rule, but man it's tough some times. So many pretty books filled with tasty words....

Well, it happened today. I restrained myself. I had only three hours sleep last night, then got up at 4 am this morning because I had to gather up all my trash to haul to the dumpster because of an ant invasion yesterday, take care of some paperwork and other things, clean up, trowel on my face, get dressed, shut off the water heater, open up the skirting in four places under my mobile home so I could place bug bombs (foggers) under there (I detest spraying inside my home). Once the bug bombs were in place and spraying away, I sealed up the skirting, went inside to wash my hands and arms, then left the house for the last time this morning. I loaded the three trashbags into my truck and hauled them to the dumpster, then went and saw a surgeon about some surgery for my left shoulder, then saw a movie.

After the movie, I went to a large used bookstore looking for a specific title. While there, I didn't find the title I was looking for, browsed through the sheet music and songbooks (bought two songbooks) and suddenly it hit me. I was too pooped to do any more browsing so I left in a record 15 minutes!

Since I had to wait a while longer before I went home because of the bug bombs, I went out for lunch, checked my snail mail box, went grocery shopping, went home and put up the groceries, turned the water heater back on and now, I'm getting ready to go to bed for a long nap.

I am forced by Amazon to restrain myself. The Kindle 3 now has an estimated delivery date of October 4 - 6, instead of Aug 27. Arrghhh!

Sorry to hear that Kumabjorn. All the more excitement when you finally get it.

Thanx, makes you wonder how words can be as addictive as crack. Does that make me a text ho?
