I’m sad because Mark G. Harris and Lisa will be returning to their respective wintry homes today (following a photo shoot, of course, though I’m about to endure a surly Mr. Harris when I tell him that).
So today, I NEED to read your things to be happy about to make me happy, too. If you want something from among 14,000 things to be happy about:
please give me a page number from 1 to 612 and another number between 1 and 30 and I’ll tell you what the book says.
I’m game. Page 291, #6.
Rick, OH
“the ringmaster”
The sun is shining, the temp will climb to 30 and it’s enough to make you leap with JOY! Unfortunately JOY is vacationing in warmer climes, and another snow storm is coming in. So please give me #5 on page 193. You are a dear, dear. And before Oskar starts bitching please include #17 for him.
For you: “ragamuffins”
For Oskar: “using the library’s periodicals”
Well, I always did like dirty boys.
Lisa has turned in her verbal request for p. 87, no. 14:
“acrobatics”
Mark G. Harris’s verbal request is for p. 5, no. 5, PLEASE:
“flickering gaslights”
Page 183, # 11, if you please.
Can’t wait to see pictures. Tell Mark to cut the crap and smile! 🙂
“Chinese chop haircuts”
(What IS that? Is it an ancient Chinese secret?)
Harrumph. First no sheets, then the realization that my departure never warrants sad posts. Dead to…wait a minute, the Compound is already dead to me over the sheets.
Hmmmm.
When you leave, we’re so prostrate with grief that none of us can post.
Lisa and Mark got NO trips to Whataburger.
Prostrate with grief? I like that…okay no more kvetching about the sheets.
p. 503, #15
“waterproofing your shoes”
Huh.
I wear Crocs, so I don’t exactly know how that would go. 🙂
Well, if we believe this book, we’re both missing out on something. I say we buy some hot leather shoes, waterproof them, and see if it makes us happy!
Surly Mark, having a CAPOTE moment is he?
page 612 line 30 for me
Dash wants
page 555 line 5
You: “reed-fringed lagoons”
Dash: “country hutches”
(Are you feeling better?)
239 no 6 please!
“getting a whiff of that first ocean breeze”
Ooh, that’s a nice one! I’ve had a pretty ordinary day so I needed something to make me happy. 🙂
Pg 360 #16
“ivory almond bark candy”
599, #8
– Crash
“English-American decor with a dash of seaside resort and women’s handicraft”
(I think this is a clear sign that you need a trip to P-town. In season, of course.)
Very funny. I’ve been making my plans for P-town this week. I’m going in August.
-Crash
Lucky!
page 45, no 5
“remembering when kids used to want to be president”
