Oh, That Can't Be Good
Cleaning out our trunk/coffeetable where we store all our videos, I found one I checked out from the library a MONTH ago- "Dumbo" if you must know. At a dollar a day late fee... well, it's not going to be pretty. But, I don't feel so bad about the fine- because really, we read so many books for free that it's good to "support" the library occasionally. At least, this will be my arguement to Patrick when I confess what I did. How's it sound? Convincing?
We are big library buffs. I can't see spending thirty bucks for a book, when I can read it for free. I guess I'm just not into the ownership of books, mainly because we have limited space to store them, and I can spend that money elsewhere!!
I am still waiting, rather impatiently, for the last Harry Potter book to be available for checkout. These little punk kids keep reading it! I may have to rough 'em up a bit to get my turn, put a little fear into them.

Scary, huh? You know it.

Kidding. Thanks- now I won't have to employ my techniques of intimidation and mean looks.
