  • Anybody read any good books lately?  I've started teaching my five year old to read.  It's such fun to see their little eyes light up in comprehension when they start to recognize words on the page.  I was given a task this morning, get online and order the next "Captain Underpants" book.  My guys have read the first four until some of them are in ragged condition, so this morning I ordered "Captain Underpants and The Wicked Wedgie Woman."  Blessings upon Barnes and Noble Online.  I'd hate to have to go into a store and ask for that one.


    It's another rainy, dark and dreary day in Indiana.  I'm still wearing my pajamas and it's almost 2 pm.  Maybe sometime later when I work up the energy to get dressed I'll write a real blog.  Then again, maybe later, if I work up the energy to get dressed I'll do something really productive, like tracking down zoodom to find out why she hasn't posted anything new since Judith's teeth last Friday. 


    Nothing much new happened in my SIMS game recently.  Little Tim Verrette got a promotion - he's up from Bungee jump instructor and white water guide to Mountain Climber.  Not a lot of money in climbing mountains, but he wears these really sexy little khaki shorts around the house with a gold lame thong - oh no, wait, that's the real Tim, no that's the Sim Tim, no that's AAaaaaaaaiiiiiiiihhhhh - I've got to start drinking more caffeine.

  • Captian Underpants! YES!

  • here I am! Eating ravolio's with paint all over me and no shower ain't I cute? LOL!

  • Congrats to Tim!!  I like the extreme career on the Sims but it's hard to get all of those body points!

  • Two o'clock and you're still in your pj's? I've put in a half day by then.

  • hee hee hee!  khaki shorts and a gold lame g-string!!

    (I know which is which!!!)

  • God Bless - Dale

  • Oh I love playing the Sims...the newest expansion pack "The Sims' Vacation" comes out tomorrow - can't wait!

    *going off to play the Sims right now*

  • I dunno even what to say to all of that.

  • Captain Underpants is a great series! Be sure not to miss out on the children's books by Roddy Doyle, especially The Giggler Treatment and the Rover series.

  • What about a Sims Captain Underpants?

  • I've worked at two different Barnes and Noble's and I have "consulted" at several others. There is one thing I can tell you... You have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of going in and asking for Captain Underpants. First, they are popular and no one thinks anything of it.

    Second, and most important, the people who work at B&N? TWISTED! Lots and lots of sick humor and other fun stuff going on there. Everyone was a bit weird. One of my closest friends thought the book "Death Scenes" was the greatest book ever. I tried to get it on Staff Recommend, but the boss was a wee bit conservative.

  • Good books for you or for the kids??

  • *Ahem*

  • Yes, but I read mostly murder mysteries and I doubt that your guys would enjoy them at this stage.

  • I hope you got your energy level up. Have a wonderful day.

    Peachy
