A Long Absence!!
By Robyn | August 2, 2008
Wow…I don’t think I’ve ever been away from my blog this long before! Bad me!! I haven’t been away from the computer at all, just away from the blog. I have a few sites started for the kids, and oh my heavens, they take a ton of time! But…I have so much to add here! From our evening with the Monster Trucks at the County Fair, to taking all of the kids to a game at Wrigley Field—and so many things in between! There just doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day to get it all done!
This evening, around midnight, I headed to Borders to pick up the newest book in the Twilight series. I was about the 400th person in line with 15 minutes to go before the midnight release. I had my two youngest with me, so we blew that pop stand and headed up to Meijer, a 24 hour store much like (but better than) a Super Target. I wasn’t sure if they were planning to release the book at midnight, but if they weren’t, I could always head back down the street to Borders and be about the same spot in line!! So the little ones and I walk in about 5 minutes early…wander around the coloring book aisle for a few minutes and a beautiful (I didn’t look at his face, just his arms) man walked around the corner with the books! And there wasn’t a SOUL around but me! So I took my book, headed to the checkout lane, and was officially the first person at that Meijer to purchase a book! As I drove home, at 12:05, I passed the throngs of people waiting in line for their book! Guaranteed I would have still been standing in line at Borders by the time I got home, tucked the babies in and started to read!
I love those rare moments when I’m brilliant!!

Good for you! That was a very smart decision to go to Meijer! My daughter has read Twilight and is now reading New Moon. She is really enjoying the books and has a hard time putting the book down!
