When I was a kid, I got excited with the Big Brown UPS truck drove down our road. It never stopped at our house, (mom didn't believe in catalog shopping then) but I got excited nonetheless. My version of the Ice Cream Truck. That excitement never left.
Today, while I was playing with Baby A and changing my sheets at the same time (peekaboo with pillowcases amuses everyone!), I heard a knock at the door and someone yell, "Package!" I run to the front door (leaving Baby A under the pillowcase laughing with excitement) and see the Big Brown Truck rumble away. On my front stoop was a little brown box with the happy smile/arrow on it from.....AMAZON! that only meant one thing. The books I ordered online last week finally arrived!
It felt like Christmas in July. (well, almost July)
In it were the three books I ordered for my book club gatherings for the next three months, and one book I bought for my mom to read because when I read it, I snorted with laughter. When Farmer got home for lunch, I ran to the door with my four new babies in hand and made him smell the books. I love the smell of a new book. I also made him admire the pretty covers and the unbent corners. He said I needed a bigger hobby or a summer job, if books got me so excited.
So, now I'm off to get my work done so when Baby A goes down for the night, I can curl up in my lazi-boy and dive into a great new read.

On the Baby A front, she slept through the night last night! Huzzah! Throw confetti and blow horns! Mumma slept through the night! It was awesome. AND, during her morning nap, she somehow rolled over and I found her sleeping on her belly. The stinker is like Bigfoot or the elusive Hodag....you know he exists, you just never see it!!!
It's such a smiley day......Smiles for everyone!

Few things smell better than a new book - why doesn't Glade make an air freshener cartridge in that scent?
