So how will I be reading

[Trina]

Well, *ordinarily* I would be at the Books-a-Million midnight party, 
pick up my pre-paid book, go home, make a Yes-Mom-I-made-it-home-
alright-after-driving-across-town-in-the-middle-of-the-night-I-am-now-
on-radio-silence-DO-NOT-CALL-I-WILL-NOT-ANSWER!phone call, and 
proceed with my marathon read (complete with the necessary nibbles 
and a pot or two of coffee).  

Ordinarily, that is.  Unfortunately for me, my cousin's baby shower 
is Sunday. In another state. It takes about 31/2 hours (on a cat-free 
drive) to my parents' house, so plans have changed.  I am still 
picking it up at midnight and still have the nibbles planned, but 
(and this just kills me!) am leaving the book IN THE CAR!, going to 
bed with reading having to wait till I get to my folks' house.  And I 
think I'm going to have to be social over dinner, so I will have to 
put it down. (pouty face!)  But I will try to have it read before we 
go to the shower.  

When 7 comes out I don't care what family doins are in the offing-I'm 
staying home!
