My brain is melting

vanillafluffyTwo good things happened yesterday: Harper's Island (for which my squee knows no bounds) and the gorgeous Chevelle I saw in the parking lot at work. Picture the same model and year as Bobby's SS, except a convertible in pristine condition, red with fat black racing stripes and those ultra thin tires that make a car look like it's wearing ballet slippers. The rest of my day...I'm not even going to go into it, since it does evil things to my blood presssure.
I didn't go to church this morning. Didn't have the energy in any sense of the word. Piddled around in slow-mo for a while, went out, repaid a debt, then zipped up to the library where I joined the queue waiting for them to open (About two dozen people by the time the doors finally opened at 1.)
GK was right---I whipped out my driver's license and had a shiny new library card within two minutes. I froliced through the stacks and emerged twenty-something minutes later with a stack of stuff to read that ought to keep me busy for a while. Y'all may be subjected to a lot of book reports in the near future!
For the record, I got:
Plum Spooky Janet Evanovich -- First thing on my list! Now I can wait for it to show up cheap somewhere without being deprived of the joy of reading it. Gotta have my Plum fix....
Blue Christmas
Savannah Breeze -- both by Mary Kay Andrews -- "Breeze" is a sequel to Savannah Blues which I adored. Chick-lit.
The Organ Grinder by Maan Meyers -- I may have to dig out and reread the one previous to this; like most of those, it's part of a series. Historical mystery.
All Shots Susan Conant -- More series fiction. They're dog-lover's mysteries.
Regenesis CJ Cherryh -- I almost created a scene when I discovered Cherryh's done a 600-page sequel to Cyteen. Will probably save this for last, since it's huge and will require complex thought. My thought is, perfect for while I'm house-sitting, since I will be in a/c and can relax and savor it.
Given the location of the library and taking into account that I needed a few things from the store, I ended up going to the Publix over the bridge. I *did* pop into Fashion Bug for a quick look-see, but not having a bank card has slowed my spending down admirably. I did NOT get the cute black studded top that was on sale for just $12.49. Picked up a two-week supply of canned soups and some sandwich fixings and boogied back home.
Now I'm going to have a nosh and stick my nose in a good book---Plum, of course---and I'll yak atcha later.
