Two books, twelve bucks!
Jun. 24th, 2003 09:45 pmNot quite as thrifty as buying them in a Goodwill for a couple of bucks, but really. That would entail getting lucky and *maybe* finding copies within the next six months. Fooey on that.
Went back to the first bookstore I went to last night, and they were open this evening. Purchased a paperback version of Prisoner of Azkaban for $4.50, and a hardcopy version of The Goblet of Fire for $6.95. Bwahahaha! Can't wait to dig in.
Our cordless phone has a page feature, which I love, because we can never remember where we last had the thing. I call my Dad nightly, and I've taken to paging the phone first. The husband has been having a lot of fun hiding it in bizarre locations.
The first time I went on a phone hunt it turned up in the bathroom, stuffed between the folded towels on the shelf.
The next time he hid it, I could barely make out the beeping. I thought he'd hidden it in the basement, but a quick listen at the top of the stairs told me otherwise. Found it in the freezer. That was a good one. ;-)
Another time he hid it in an empty Pringle's potato chip can. *That* was a good one, and remains one of my favorites. He's hidden it in the mailbox on the front porch, which was also good.
I think the one last night is my favorite so far. You know how you're walking around and something should be right where you're looking, but it's not? And then you realize that's because it's over your head? Mr. Taller-than-me had tucked the phone in the dining room light fixture. He completely cracks me up. ;-) What a goof.
