You guys didn’t even notice that I neglected you last week, did you? SHOW HUMP DAY HAPPY SOME LOVE.
Why I’m happy: I have made progress on my LJ Runway Monday Final Collection due sometime in October. I have returned my corrected galley pages for A COVENTRY WEDDING. I am slowly beating my insomnia and getting sleep again. My camera is home, and I have returned Lindsey’s to her unharmed.
Still, I’m always game for more things to be happy about; are you? If so, please give me a page number between 1 and 611, and another number between 1 and 25, and I’ll ask the little handcrafted goat who came home with me from the Smoky Mountains to clamber through this book and find your happiness.

Can I have page 2, item # 2, please? : )
Don’t worry; you’ll get there, Waffle Lover. But for today:
“keeping on nodding terms with the people we used to be”
Thank you! : )
(And I’m nodding at that guy who requested an item last night around 3:28am EST. Yo!)
Congratulations on finishing your galleys, by the way. I got caught up in my quest for the waffles in that damned book of yours and forgot my manners. : )
Ha! I didn’t read this before I gave you your answer. I knew that’s what you were doing. Did you save ALL of the page numbers with waffles on them that I randomly found?
::tapping forehead:: It’s all in here. : )
Ooh, I’ll go for page 178 and number 25.
“a Thermos of frozen fruit slush”
200, no 8 please! And yes, I missed Hump Day Happy last week, but figured you also have a life! 🙂
Hump Day Happy IS my life! Actually, last week, my sister and I were sightseeing in the mountains, shopping in art stores, and stuffing ourselves from a food buffet. THIS week, your answer is:
“slide rules”
(Now if my friend Lynne had gotten that, it would have made her happy, because she still has the slide rule her father used in his work. Is there an old slide rule in your life? Do people still use slide rules, I wonder?)
Never come across a slide rule, but I’ll google it and maybe that will make me happy. 🙂 And I was always mathematically inclined…
I actually mentioned the missing happiness to Chris last week. Glad it’s back!!
Page 20, #3 please.
Thank you. It’s glad to be back to tell you:
“auctioneering”
Could I please have page 399, number 25. I think the waffles will be at the bottom of a page, not the top.
“pale peach with orange stitching”
Apparently, it’s your day for fashion, not waffles.
That does sound pretty though. Would look nice on Summer :). I completely missed this on Weds– some of my comments aren’t working. Silly LJ.
Pretty please, page number 33, reason #4
“Toll House cookie batter”
Yes!
Mmmm. I’m itching to start making cookies, but I still have to wait a few months…
That’s just crazy talk. Right now, you could be making cookies in honor of Jim’s birthday that’s coming up in a few days. And sending them to ME, of course.
Page 511, number 12 please.
“squirrels in reckless treetop chases”
(This one is happy for Sophie and Phoebe, too! Speaking of–did you ever decide about the puppy?)
That’s a very happy one for the girls.
I decided against a puppy right now. 2 dogs are really all I need. Of course, need and want are 2 different things. 🙂
I did look at the springer rescue site last night, and there are 2 springers in a town about 2 miles from me—but, again, I decided that 2 dogs are enough.
Probably for the best. (It’s very hard to stop though, isn’t it?)
May I please have page # 141, # 5.
Danka!
You may, and you’re welcome. It’s:
“Iowa City, Iowa”
You can meet Lisa there! Be sure to go by and see your counterparts at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. =)
That one makes me chuckle, David!
Bart Yates of The Brothers Bishop and Leave Myself Behind is from the Iowa City area. We can look him up.
I wonder if you could talk him into posing in a T-shirt photo with David?
RUN, BART! RUN!
hahaha
Hey!
I see that Monday he’s going to be having a reading of his new book at the Prairie Lights Bookstore in Ia City. (You’ll have to google, I’m not gonna link.) (I guess I didn’t know that he has a new book coming out.)
Come on over, David, I’ll call in sick to work and we’ll head down there. That gives me plenty of time to think about shirts. 🙂
I didn’t know he had a new one out, either. I’ll have to add that to my Amazon wishlist.
If I were there, I’d totally go with you. But I don’t wear T-shirts, so don’t even think about it.
Silly Mr. Puterbaugh. You can run, but you can’t hide–from the Night Nurse.
Ain’t that the truth!
I loved both of those books.
I’m eagerly awaiting A Coventry Wedding!
Page 5, No. 29 please.
“soda parlors”
(And that sounds like something you’d find in Coventry.)
Mmmmmmm, root beer floats! Now that truly is a happy thought. And I’m not even fond of ice cream floats.

Interesting. “The Happiness Goat” is exactly what I call my…
…goat.

The Evil Twin just tossed you her patented Evil Twin Smiletm — for your personal use for the next 10 days. Congratulations. Use With Caution.
Woohoo!
I’ve been checking it out in the mirror. I like it.
