a book about.......

me........Well not exactly, but my name at least.  My sister found me, on her way home, at the gas station and said she had something for me.  She went on to explain that, this something was $4, but the lady said it should have been in the bargain basket.  She gave it to her for a dime.  Whoo hoooo, BARGAIN.  It is a hardback, with the title "my name" on the top of every page.  
I hate to say this, I will covet this, but it will be used in Art.  Hopefully many many pieces of Art.  Before that happens, I plan on scanning in the book cover, erasing the authors name, and printing it for a t-shirt.
On top of the wonderful surprise from Michelle (my sister), I came home to see packages of purchases that I really didnt believe would come in.  I have been trying to find Ticonderoga core lock color pencils for the last 2 years.  They are the best color pencils I have EVER used, but like everything that I think is great, it gets discontinued.  I just happened to see some on the ********** (not going to reveal because I want more and I am greedy) website.  I put in cart and paid.  Usually I get that far and someone emails me 2 ays later that, "oh, I'm sorry.  That item has been discontinued.  We are sorry but we forgot to remove that item from the website."  But it didnt happen.  I receive an email stating the delivery date would be less than 24 hours.  So after i receive my "namesake book" gift and arrived home to see packages on the table.  I literally squealed, then that squealed turned into "Happy Melissa Dance" and cheering because when I open the packages, my elusive wonderous color pencil- that are discontinued- but rock the world compared to all others, were correct, perfect, and exactly what I wanted.
............I love days that start out "not so great" but end "perfectly".
