Ha! I came back!! Golly, it's been a while since I did anything with my blog. I almost feel guilty, as though I was ignoring a dear, longtime friend. :')
Do you ever know the feeling.. when you walk into a big bookstore, and you find the perfect book (well written, hard cover, insightful, intriguing.. you-can't-put-it-down sort) - but you realize, because it's just so good, it's got to be expensive? Then you're bummed out because you only have $10 in your purse, so you go through it all in your head. *Put the book back on the shelf, look at it longingly, then walk away.. leave the bookstore, get in your car.. still wishing you had that book as your very own..* But first, you glance at the price - just to make sure you can't afford it. What?! You look all over the book. No price? You open to back cover and peek inside. One number looks up at you. No way!! $5.00??!?! Your sad, melancholy feelings you just felt moments ago disappear into thin air as you bounce around with glee, clutching this new-found treasure in your hands, refusing to put it down and knowing you get to take it home with you!!!!!! Smiling, and forcing yourself not to skip up to the cash register, you smile at the store owner and say "I'd like to buy this book, please." They open the cover and exclaim, "Five dollars! Wow, what a bargain!" while you just stand there and smile - inwardly you're grinning and dancing little jigs around the counter. You pay the money, take your book, and walk out into the sunshine....
(This is like riding off into the sunset.)
