Shopping
I went garage saling with Sarah Belle and the kids yesterday. All Belle wanted was a dresser and I wasn't looking for anything in particular. Belle did not find her dresser, but I found almost $30 worth of yummies. Oh, and Belle also had to shell out money for lunch at Cozumel's and gas for her guzzler.
Here's what I got:
camping chairs for the little ones, because they have outgrown their spongebob chairs
A cooler because every time we go camping or fishing one of our coolers disappears. One day all these coolers are going to find their way back home and I will have a garage full of coolers
Little storage things for my classroom
Cute little borders for my bulletin boards
A cookbook. Why do people want to get rid of cookbooks? Especially pretty ones? I thought you could never have enough cookbooks
A bunch of captain underpants books. These were $.10 each! In perfect condition. My boys will love me because I will let them read captain underpants in school
A timer so I can time various activities. I'll probably never use it but it was a quarter and it's blue
A Mariah Carey Xmas cd. I love Xmas music. I will begin playing it on Thanksgiving.
I think that's all. I also stole one of my sister's cd's. I may or may not give it back to her.

When my mom died, I inherited her collection of cookbooks. She rarely cooked anything more ambitious than pork chops, but she loved to look in the cookbooks. I gave away a lot of them because she had about two hundred of them; I only kept the ones I really wanted.
Braden hates to read, but loves reading Captain Underpants books. We went to the library last week to get one of the couple that he doesn't have. We couldn't find them, so I asked the librarian where they were. She said,"We don't carry THOSE books, and we never, ever will." Holy crap. I know they're not pulitzer material, but c'mon!
I have about 200 cookbooks and my collection grows monthly! However, I have set a new criteria in place for them . . . they have to have pictures. The older I get, the more I regress towards childhood.
I think it's silly to ever discourage kids from reading something. Even if one of the main characters is called Dr Poopypants.
My cookbooks need pictures, too. Unless it's a classic like Joy of cooking or something. I rarely try a new recipe unless I can see a picture of it first.
Elmo is a god.
Hey! That's my nickname for my cat -- Mr. Poopypants . . . I might have to buy this book.
