It's like Christmas in the Mailbox!

I've had a book sitting on my kitchen table for a little while, wrapped up from when it got sent to me. By a while, I mean ... probably about a month or so. Long enough to where I didn't remember what was in there! I remember thanking the person who sent it to me (it came from paperbackswap), but for the life of me, I couldn't remember what that package held for me. I sat on the couch this morning and shook it, like a Christmas package. I slowly opened it, wanting to savor the moment (did I mention I can be such a big nerd?). Lo and behold, this is what awaited me -

I can't wait to read this book because, secretly, I think I may be a shoe addict, too. I have a bag of shoes that I have reserved for donation, but it's sitting in my extra room and I can't bring myself to actually donate them! Really, I can't imagine that I've actually gotten the use that I should, or could have, out of them. My favorite, though, is those $1.50 flip flops from Old Navy. They're so comfortable. I would wear them all the time, every day, if I could.

Then, yesterday, another book came in the mail from PBS. I had requested two books, so I wasn't sure which one would await me. I knew that both of them I wanted to read, so it didn't matter which one came in first.

I am so interested in reading this one. Supposedly it's about a woman who doesn't want to date her boyfriend anymore, and he promises her she'll change her mind and takes her on a date a weekend, per letter of the alphabet. I'm hoping not only to like the book, but that I'll get some new ideas for things to do and places to go for Steve and I!
