All kinds of useful stuff here if you look hard enough

My day off was FAB-U-LOUS! I got a zillion errands run and still had time to sit down in a cafe and write out almost all of chapter twenty.

I also dropped the kids off at school, went to the bakery to order a birthday cake, took items back to Target and Walmart (ick!), went to the post office, the dry cleaners, the UPS store, the bank, and got the kids registered for summer camp – all by 10am.  I felt like the Marines only with better hair.

While I was at Target, I was delighted to find the latest Sookie Stackhouse book.  I knew it was coming out in May, but I thought it was at the end of the month.  I squealed, loudly.  Loudly enough for people to turn and stare.  Clearly, these people don’t know what they’re missing.  Also, and this is almost the best part, it was on sale – like 60% off. LA!

The Bandit and I had another odd conversation in his bed this evening.  He wanted to know where the end of the rainbow was located.

“It moves all the time so you can never be sure.”

“Maybe if we ask a leprechaun.” Don’t you love how this seems completely reasonable to a six year old?

I was understandably skeptical. “I don’t know how much luck we’d have with that,” I told him.

“Why?”

“Well, leprechaun’s aren’t very nice.  They tell you the wrong directions and generally screw you up,” I told him.

“Why?” he asked again.

“I told you.  They’re not nice little people.”

“Maybe it’s because they always have to wear green.  That would make me mad.”

I shall file this information away under Good To Know.
