dd,
special cousin kris kringle package was mailed out yesterday.
today we are headed to barnes and nobles for two more gifts.
searched the internet to help nate and colin with their book ideas.
found 4 ideas.
made them research each one and pick.
they based their choices on goodbooks reviews.
two titles in hand.
off to book store.
headed straight to the customer service desk
to seek assistance with our requests.
friendly person types away forever on her little computer.
really - the title only has 4 words in it.
she promptly heads us through the store to
the best sellers cases in the front of the store.
"see this empty spot here?"
colin and i adjust our invisible glasses & nod.
we confirm that there is an empty spot on the shelf.
"this is were the book you want goes."
"we are out of it"
well, thank you for the show and tell.
perhaps you could of prepared us for this unveiling back at the
customer service desk 200 steps ago.
maybe this is in the employee handbook.
rule one - show customer that there is no books available -
do not tell them about this in advance !
ok - can you help us with title #2 on our list ?
200 steps later &more typing on the computer.
"we are out of that title also"
i believe she was actually going to take us to the empty
spot on the shelf again but we quickly avoided that scene again.
my heart could not handle the sight twice in one day.
good news - the boys have obviously picked great
cousin kris kringle books.
bad news - barnes and nobles didn't think to maybe
stock up on them.
but i have connections and her name is amazon !
by the time we reached the car,
amazon had already received my order and i
received her 20 digit confirmation code !
-
late breaking email received last night.
book club holiday dinner party tomorrow.
humm - what party favor can i bring when we didn't read
a december book ?
wheels are spinning in my head.
ideas are forming.
obsessed with idea.
next, must find all 9 books we have read this year.
this is a small challenge but i am ready for it.
cheers.
