This is my happy, sad, happy, sad, happy, even happier story -

Happy:

I was so excited to see that my book had shipped and as such dutifully and neurotically kept checking the tracking to see when it would come.

Sad:

Everyday, sometimes 4, 6, or 25 times a day I clicked on the tracking to see where my package was. Everyday it was the same location... every goddamn day. I thought to myself "How in the hell is my book STILL in Kansas?"

Fast forward to yesterday. I was sitting at work and kept checking my tracking wonder if the post office people were reading my book.

Happy:

It was then I realized I hadn't refreshed my tracking page and it was 3 days old. Total blonde moment. I hit refresh and BAM, my package showed as the coveted "delivered" status! YAY.

Sad:

I had gotten into work late and couldn't leave until after 7pm. Ugh.

Happy:

When I got home I pulled up to the mail box, opened it up and WHOSH...relief + excitement. There was my package!

Even Happier!

I received Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk. My book SS included a note that read: "I decided to send you one of my favorite books. I really hope you enjoy it. If you haven't read anything by him, I hope you get addicted like I did! Enjoy!"

Thank you "N.M."! I actually read "Fugitives and Refugees: A Walk in Portland, Oregon" by him when I first moved out to Portland, OR and it was a great read. However, I haven't read anything else by him. I can't wait to sink my teeth into this. I've always wondered if I would enjoy anything else by him and now I can find out (although I'm sure I will truly enjoy it).

My only lament "N.M." is that I really don't need another reading addiction... ;P lol

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
