YEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAA

Well!  It's been quite a day.  Yesterday, I had a job interview, which was exhausting but went okay.  And that's all I'm going to say about it.

As if to reward me for my hard work (at job-acquiring) the universe (and two men that I know) has conspired to present me with some things that I really, really wanted. 

S called me from work and said he was bringing home a present.  I thought maybe he's bought me a new copy of Jennifer Weiner's new book, but he resolutely refused to tell me.  So here I sat, at home, waiting for S to come home and present me with my new book (because duh, he works at a bookstore; there was never any doubt that it was a book).  As part of my waiting, I check my email incessantly; about ten minutes before S got home, I got a wonderful email giving me the gift of an Amazon gift certificate. 

As I was processing this wondrous news (that would allow me to buy so many books that I could have another bookapalooza), S walked up to the patio doors cradling a book that I instantaneously knew wasn't Goodnight Nobody.  In fact, S brought me an ARC of Diana Gabaldon's new book, which comes out next Tuesday.  Need I say that I did a stupid Manogirl-happy-dance all around the living room?  And the CD he brought me, a promo copy of the new Ryan Adams and the Cardinals CD, is taking a sad third seat behind the gift certificate and the book. 

I'm not sure that this day could get any better.  Seriously.  I'm going to bury my nose in a book.  It'll be terrifically hard for me to tear myself away for basic things like eating and sleeping, let alone sewing and blogging, so if I'm quiet, well, you know why. 

So--thanks Poodge, and thanks S.  It's a happy, happy day in the Mano/S house.

How's the Gabaldon?! Does it live up to the others? Good luck on the job front. Keep us posted. S.N.

I will resist the strong temptation to ask about your interview and instead congratulate you on having such a kickass boyfriend. That is practically the Holy Grail of ARCs. Enjoy! :-)

Very very sweet, that S is! Can't wait to see you tomorrow--it's been forever!
