A couple of weeks ago, we'd gotten in an old book. I've been drooling over it ever since. BUT...since it's the only one like it that we have...I couldn't take it. lol *sighs* It's the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe. :D We were talking about it again on Saturday...because of the Poe artwork I'd taken a picture of in SL Friday night. ;-p Cindy had mentioned she thought she has (personally) a 1927 edition leather bound...complete works. She'd give it to me if I wanted it. lol I denied it, of course. Instead...I searched Ingram & found a hardback complete for $12.99. It's on backorder but I didn't really care. I'll get it eventually. ;-) Cindy texted me at 9 am (she's taking today off to play Grandma):
I have a soft small leatherbound edition of Poe complete from 1927 in perfect condition. Do you want it as a Xmas and I love you gift?
Awwww!!! *grins* I responded back to her that I'd already ordered that one for myself but that was really sweet of her! ;-)
Internet started acting up so I finally gave up & got to work at 9:30. Cindy came by right after I got there, with little Cameron...dropping some books off. She didn't bring him in...he was sacked out in the car seat but I had to go see him. He was tiny last I saw him & OMG...he's HUGE!!! hahahaha Big ole hands & feet...solid chunk! Soooo freaking adorable!! :D She had the Poe book with her & showed it to me. lol It was...freaking AWESOME...I can't lie! She said she'd gotten it at an estate sale years ago...it's not her cup of tea & Todd won't appreciate it either so she'd prefer if it went to someone who would cherish it. Heh. If I were to take THAT book, I'd hafta build a glass-encased shrine for it! ;-p I don't think I'd even attempt to read it!! The pages were almost like rice paper...super thin & whispy & OMG...the leather was ultra-soft! *drools* But...again, I told her...I have one on order. ;-)
My Poe affinity began in 7th grade with The Raven. Tell-Tale Heart is my 2nd favorite. But, several times through school...I did projects & reports about him. For a time, I even patterned some of my own poetry after him. I'm not sure why I've always been so drawn to him. I just have...
Kelli finally came in. lol All 3 of us were a bit retarded today. It wasn't all that busy either. So it made for an interesting day! *smirks* Wasn't NOWHERE near being a normal Monday! ;-p Manda left at 4:30. I ended up leaving at 5:30...it was dead. I made a comment about not being off til Saturday & how much that sucked...lol...then Kelli realized that meant she had BOTH me & Manda off Saturday...eep! lol So I agreed to take tomorrow off instead & work Saturday. :-)
After work, went to Wal-Mart to get kitty food. Simple task...right??? NOT!! Holy Hell...that place was a freaking ZOO!!! Finally got home. It was chilly in here so I turned both heaters on (ran them both all night last night). Within a minute or so, the breakers tripped & all the power went off. :/ They came back on & I tried again. Off they went! Argh! Minute later, back on...& Judy called me. lol CRAP!! I dunno why it worked last night but not tonight but I haven't tried running them both again. *sighs* And I won't...
Kat called. A couple of times. lol I was picking on her about being High Maintenance. Cuz she IS...in several areas! ;-p Then she said I was, too. *sighs* Yeah, yeah...whatever! *snorts* Fine. I won't be anymore...*sighs heavily* ;-p
Dinner & a Sci Fi movie. Now...I'm thinking sleep. I've got chores to do tomorrow. And stuff for the website. I may hafta start taking those nightmare-inducing pills again. My head has been pounding the last 2 days again...UGHHHHH!!! :/
