I knew it was coming. I confirmed my order some time ago. And according to my calculations, because I chose the free (and slowest) shipping, it would arrive on September 30. Well, how about it waiting for me on the kitchen counter when I came home from work today, September 21?
A big shoutout to my mom, who paid for the thing. Thanks Mom! And another big shoutout to my dad, who got me loving it in the first place. Thanks Pops! (And Happy Birthday!)

I AM SO JEALOUS!! That's going into my wish list right now! Love Dave Sedaris! (Currently reading his anthology) Love Steve Martin! (Just finished, and loved, Shopgirl) Sylvia Plath...hellz yeah!
I must recommend Sedaris's "Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules". Very good. Just reading this will leave me broke.
Too funny! My dad got me hooked on the New Yorker, too! ;-)
Of course, I upped the ante... I married one.
happy HNT!
