Okay, I know I’m a few days late on this, but this is one of the greatest stories I’ve ever heard!! Basically, a couple of armed guys tried to steal David Copperfield’s wallet and he thwarted them with magic! Of course he did. Don’t screw with David-freaking-Copperfield! He should have been like, “How are you going to escape with no getaway car?” and then *poof* their car disappears. Someone at work pointed out that if this was the 80s, Copperfield would get his own crime-fighting cartoon show.
So Sara is on her way to Chicago for a job interview and also to look at apartments. This is the one and only job that’s seemed interesting in the past 4 months or so, so hopefully it goes well. I’m not worried though…apparently the interviewer asked her boss, “What do we have to do to get her out here?”
So today was the annual Tredyffrin Library book sale. Paperbacks are 3 for $1 and hardcovers are $1…seriously, it’s better than Christmas. So, with no Sara to interfere and rein me in, I bought 26 books! 🙂 🙂 🙂 This is kind of a problem because I still haven’t read all the books I got for Christmas yet and also because we’re moving, but hey! Buying 26 books would have cost me over $200 regularly, and instead they cost me $15!! I also bought 4 books for Sara, so hopefully she’ll like them.
They had this book set there written by Vince Lombardi. It was SOO cool! It was actually written by him and it’s about how you play the game of football, including hand drawn diagrams about how certain plays should work. It was full of full page color pictures of old school Packers like Bart Star, etc. It was leather bound and in a protective box. It was the coolest thing, but unfortunately it cost $50. 😦 I couldn’t justify that, so I didn’t get it. It would make a great present though! 🙂
Finally, today is the day of the NFL draft! (How was that for a segue from books to the NFL?) The Packers have never drafted this high as far as I can remember (basically because they’ve never been as bad as they were last year as far as I can remember!) so this is more exciting than normal. All of the pre-draft analysis is completely asinine, but despite that I’m still looking forward to it. However, every year I’m all excited and then after a few hours I’m like, “Oh my god, could this BE any more boring.” We’ll see how long I make it this year.
That is all.
