imamommy:
 I went to WalMart at 5am, even though I had pre-ordered form 
Costco.com.  I didn't know if it would get there that day or not.  By 
the time FedEx showed up that afternoon, I was halfway done.  Walmart 
at five in the morning was not at all crowded, and they had tons of 
copies by the customer service desk. 

This time I want to preorder from a bookstore so I can go to the 
party!
