I got my work done on "In the Dark" early today (so close to the end) because Carrie and I were going to Kohl's to find me some capri pants that don't fall off my ass.
It was a bust. I've got 50+ in gift cards here people. Not all fat people need elastic in the waist bands and acid wash. I'll try the online store. That's where I got my capris last year.
Otherwise, get used to seeing my ass.
The day wasn't totally wrecked. Carrie got new lip gloss and eye shadow. I rode the escalators. Carrie got a Zero bar out of a vending machine. We watched a kid calculate an awesome escape from his dad. It was most impressive since he couldn't have been more than 18 months old.
After the mall, we gorged ourselves at Steak n Shake then stopped at Staples so Carrie could get some new pens. I stayed in the car and sang along to the radio. Nobody would park by me.
And then...The Old Book Barn. Heaven! I made a beeline for the horror section and emerged ten minutes later with four books. I found Carrie and told her we had to leave NOW before I found more. I ended up getting In the Night Room by Peter Straub (I'm giving him another try), The Good Guy by Dean Koontz, and Skeleton Crew and Night Shift by Stephen King.
We made sure to pet one of the resident cats, Emily, and spotted one of the other ones, Max. Max has the longest tail on a long-haired cat I've ever seen.
While that was some good book buying, I'm still in need of two more books: another by John Scalzi and one for Joe Mallozzi's book of the month read. I imagine I'll be getting those off of Amazon in the next week or so.
I need to have "In the Dark" finished by tomorrow. Guess who's not going to be reading her new books until the weekend. Oh yeah.
