texchanJust because I didn't want to clog the "writer's block" entry with extra blah-blah-blah ...
THE BOOKS CAME!! They arrived today, and they are GORGEOUS!! I really expected them to look a bit ratty around the edges or a bit the worse for wear, but they are absolutely pristine. The seller had mentioned some fraying/rubbing on the edges of the dust covers, but I can't even see that. I am over the moon happy with them.
Aaaaand ...
This has been the longest week in the history of ever. I have no idea why, other than my daughter started back to school this week. It's proving difficult easing back into the routine. She has swimming tomorrow at around 8 AM. Might as well be at 0:dark-thirty as far as I'm concerned. I may skip out on the lesson and let her dad take her. Kinda makes me feel like a terrible mom, but ... meh.
I've been stuck in the midst of birthday party planning hell. I've got the party pretty much ironed out and everything reserved for it. But I had to get the guest list organized, which meant calling around to get email addresses for the evites. You wouldn't think it would be such a difficult task, but it sorta was. It took me a couple of days to get that done, and I'm still missing a couple of them. I had enough that I could send out the evite, though. If I ever hear from the missing couple of people, I'll add them into the guest list for the invitation. If not, then ... I guess I won't. Now, I'm all nervous, hoping people will actually come. I'm weird about stuff like that. I totally worry about that. My hubby says I'm being a doofus, and I guess I am. But I haven't had the best experiences, friendship-wise -- as a kid or as an adult. So, I remain skeptical. We've already had a few affirmative replies, though, so I'm hoping for the best. At the very least, we won't be sitting there all alone for the party, which is a good thing. >.O

Good luck with the party! Lots of good thoughts are coming your way!
