Yesterday dh and I picked up a LOAD of boxes for the move. Uhaul was nice enough to sell us everything that we could possibly need…and MORE. *ggg* After we left there, we went to the office supply store to pick up boxes with handles. They were actually cheaper at the office store than at Uhaul. (Have to have boxes for all of my books.;) Later that evening we found ourselves at the bookstore. I’d planned to pick up the new Ghost Hunting book by Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, but it was sold out. 
Those are the same guys who are on Ghost Hunters Wednesday nights. Yes, I was bummed. To ease my pain, I picked up Once Bitten Twice Shy by Jennifer Rardin and Younger Next Year for Women by Chris Crowley and Henry Lodge. I read the first page of Jennifer’s book and cracked up. Knew I had to have it. As for Younger Next Year, I’m a little ‘young’ for the age group the book is targeting, but it’s got some fantastic info in it for keeping your health as you grow older.
I also picked up a calendar. I do this every year, and every year I have a hard time deciding what to get. This year was no exception. I ended up with a Pema Chodron calendar. She is a Buddhist monk. I thought the combination of fabulous photos and thoughtful sayings worked. It was either that or the New York City Firemen calendar. *wg*. Give you two guesses which one dh thought was more appropriate for ‘our’ office. 
LOL!
I’m off to take more notes for my book and pack up the bathroom. Yes, it’s exciting. You can be jealous if you like. *ggg* Does anyone have cool Halloween plans? We aren’t doing anything this year. In the past, we have attended parties, but our social skills are dismal. That probably explains the lack of invitations this year. Snort.

If you really want to inspire envy, post pictures of your kitchen with all of its lovely storage space (my kitchen is tiny, so not much storage). Good luck with the packing and moving.

by Jordan October 29th, 2007 at 4:23 pmI can’t believe you passed up the NYc firemen calendar. I never would have been able to.
Have fun packing! Once Bitten looks fun, I read an excerpt somewhere or other. Um, exciting plans…taking care of kids, writing, passing out candy. Woo! I am wild and reckless on holidays!
by Charli October 29th, 2007 at 5:35 pmCharli, My dh would rather have other scenary on the wall. *ggg* Yes, I’m looking forward to digging into Once Bitten. Passing out candy can actually be pretty fun.
by Jordan October 29th, 2007 at 8:48 pmOkay, I just gotta laugh about it…you’re packing up…you needed boxes to contain all your books…and you went to the bookstore for more?
I love book people, lol!
by raine October 29th, 2007 at 10:11 pmRaine, Yes, that about sums it up. LOL!
by Jordan October 29th, 2007 at 10:53 pmIf you keep buying books, you’ll need even more boxes, chica! *LOL*
by Tempest Knight October 30th, 2007 at 6:26 amOne question: how big is the TBR box, or boxes?
by BernardL October 30th, 2007 at 9:08 amTempest, I do not see the problem. (Blindly looks the other way.
by Jordan October 30th, 2007 at 5:59 pmBernard, That would be ‘boxes’ plural and there are many for the TBR pile. *ggg*
