Ahhh the joys of being married. Jeff and I were on our way to Downtown Books, an amazing (and huge) bookstore in downtown Milwaukee. I mentioned that before we get there, we should stop at Open Pantry and get a Pepsi Max since we have none at home. Jeff tried to use the excuse that it was out of the way, but it is only one block north of the route we were going to take. My sweet husband will usually spoil me rotten, especially since I have been using the line, "Jeffy, the baby wants _____." No I am not pregnant. However, I still think this argument is relevant because women are born with all the eggs they will ever have and that means that right now I am carrying half of our unborn child. So when I need a Pepsi Max it will benefit both myself, and our future child! Jeff reluctantly made the left turn to Open Pantry. Then out of nowhere, he accosted me with his comment!
Well lucky for the both of us there was both Pepsi Max and Pepsi Max with lime. Jeff found out the hard way that Pepsi Max with lime taste like window cleaner. Personally I think it was the universe's way of returning the bad karma that Jeff originally spewed at me.
So off to the bookstore.
It was AMAZING!!!! Two and a half floors of used books and movies. There were also two cats living at the store. One was a fat orange cat, and the other was a long-haired multicolored cat. They were both so sweet and loved to be scratched under the chin. After an hour of wondering around, and still feeling like I had only scratched the surface of awesomeness that lay in 2.5 floors, I chose four books:
Valhalla Rising by Clive Cussler
1984 by George Orwell
Murder on Gramercy Park & Murder on Astor Place by Victoria Thompson
I love summer reading, and I can't wait to dive into each book...
