T-Minus 40 Days to the UK

So this weekend was a bit crazy.

Friday - Have driven over 1,000 miles on my scooter. An aunt needed help moving heavy concrete bricks, so threw my brother Sean in the back of Kabuto and drove to her house. First time with a passenger.
..... it was... Interesting (nerve-wracking). Plus side, did not crash, and Sean now wants a scooter too! #^^#

Saterday - Helped people move, realised how often I do that. o_O Lots of experience. ^^;; And then babysitting!

Sunday - Ditto, but with looking at showerheads too.

Monday - Got bookshelves, Cleaned my room, Painted the gutters, put the blankets Grandpa hand-wove into spacebags, and realised that Great-Grandpa's chest (which he made as a seat for his ox-drawn cart) has essentially turned into a Hope Chest, holding the blankets and dishes I can't currently use. ^^;;

.... and this was my time OFF?! Think there's something wrong in my head.

Leave for England in 40 days. Got renewed passport on Friday, which is a huge stress off my back.

To Do:
Glasses
Shoes
Dentist
Possibility get some nicer tops. ^^;;

OMG! SCORE!!!

So my gut kept telling me to do a Bookman's run instead of running up to the north side of town to see 'Paul', since this'll be the last week it's in the cheap theatres.

So I did. Figured I'd try to find 'The Iron Giant' and 'The Rocketer', since Sean & MOrgan haven't seen either one, and they're both fun.

And almost immediately started bouncing, finding not one, but THREE copies of 'Sky High', which I've been hoping to find for ages. (We still have fic to finish, bad squid me ~_~) And the last disk of 'Steam Detectives', since my copy kinda is illegible. And a cool green bracelet.

Went to get in line, and it's loooooooooooooong. So I wander around, discover they moved the Criminology books, but the Travel is still in the same place. And hey, there's the 'British Isle' shelf.
Along with a copy of "Weird England". schweeeeeeeeeeeet.

Grab the book and wait in the still longish line, flipping through the book and giggling until I get called up. Girl rings it up, we talk about Sky High, I hand her my card to pay for it.


.... She hands it back. It's free. My entire purchase.

The computer randomly picks 2 people a day, and their purchase is free. And I got a cool Bookman's canvas bag. Although she was surprised at the price, usually its under $20, mine at $24 was the largest she'd seen. ^^;;

Just..... wow.

Megs, we need to chat, there's some stuff in Weird England you'd love!!!!
