Today was a very good day!

[leighblack]

My copy of cyberwuzzle's book Raven's Quest FINALLY showed up. My Van Helsing calendar also came in. And Ms. terkey, I have sitting here next to me, my very own copy of Long Way Round. Jealous?? ;) I also nearly went into shock when Mad Season's "River of Deceit" came on the RADIO. The radio!! Who knows the last time I actually heard it on the radio. Then, I got home and my new Van Helsing poster was waiting for me. Along with my OBC Recording from Footloose The Musical. Starring Jennifer Laura Thompson, AKA the current G(a)linda in Wicked, and my lovely Jeremy Kushnier. Yay! It's pretty. *pets CD* I see Footloose icons in my future.

The only downer is that my cold seems to have gained some strength again. I'm getting a little tired of coughing.

This weekend was good too. I got the remaining pieces of my Elphaba costume on Friday. I tried it all on & it looks fabulous! I don't have enough green makeup to do a full trial run, but I did part of my face and it's going to look cool. I can't wait! I love Halloween!! Saturday I spent most of the day working on screencaps & icons, when I wasn't napping. Nothing exciting. Sunday, taylorea & I spent almost three hours at the Mall of America. We joined the Archiver's cult Saver's Club, which got us free tote bags! mmmmm...free bag... Yeah, I spent almost $100 in that store. But I got lots of good scrapbooking supplies. We're going to start scrapping in earnest on Sunday. I also got the rest of my costume for auroram's How to Host a Murder party. And many other odds & ends. I haven't been to the Sprall of America to shop in a LONG time! It was kinda fun.

Doh! My costume! I haven't even thought about it, much. Dammit. Wanna go with me some time?

Sure! There was lots of good stuff at Ragstock. Whatcha doing on Saturday?

[duckduck.livejournal.com]

Nothing 'til later in the evening. You think I'll be able to find lederhosen at Ragstock?

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Al'ight. Let's plan on a shopping date that day then. I don't know about finding lederhosen, but you might find something else that will work. They had good hats and suspenders and stuff.

I know where I work...we have this "coupon" thing we have to hand out that says: Bring your Regal blah blah blah ticket stub to the Ragstock (in Burnsville Center) and recieve 50% off all items from October 13th or something through October 31st! (Halloween!!!) So I could find a few ticket stubd for you and then give you the "coupon" if you want to save 50% off?!?! Let me know!

There's a Ragstock in Burnsville Center?? Ummmm, I'll let you know.

How much does "Long Way Round" cost and are you selling it at B&N? And if you are is there any way one of you could get me a deal? perhaps, maybe?? pretty please with a cherry on top? Oh BTW....since you know of the book I can only assume that you of the 6 one hour specials they're doing on Bravo starting this Thursday...don't know the time yet...but I gotta record it! Just making sure you know!

I have no idea how much it cost. I never pay attention to those kinds of things. If you want me to get you a copy with my discount, just let me know. You know I have no problems with doing that.

And yes, of course I know about the TV specials. Since I don't have cable though, I'll just wait until they release them on DVD. It's bound to happen before too long.

Ha! I joined the club at Archiver's last week myself! I'm becoming such a scrappy ho! :D

I actually kinda like the bag, cuz I can put a lot of my scrapbooking crap in it and it's not one of those $75849372928757 big scrapbooking bags that has like wheels and shit that I can't justify myself buying...just like I can't justify buying one of those damn punches that costs like $8 and punches like one very specific shape that you'd only use once on one page.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

It's a damn nice tote bag! I can fit all kinds of crap in it. I HATE those bags with the wheels and vow never to become one of those people. Yet, I saw the coolest one on Sunday. It had trays that held paper that popped up, or collapsed back into the bag. Only $130! What a steal! Still, I wanted it something fierce.

I won't say anything about punches though, 'cause I have quite a collection. *sheepish*

No, not jealous, pissed off more like. Grrrrrr....

Hey, Leigh - I hope you enjoy Raven's Quest! *g*

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sure I will! I just need to be able to find the time to read it.
