It's 4:12 p.m. and I am so ready for a nap! This morning, we took Devin to Newbury Comics because it is Free Comic Book Day. We made sure to get there by 10:00, when they opened, and there was already a crowd. Still, a happy Devin left there with several free comics, a couple of comic book grab bags (they were only $1 apiece) and two new release comics that were 15% off. And, since we spent $10, they gave us a free "Comic Book Day" pint glass. After lunch, we hung out in our backyard and enjoyed the nice weather, but only for a little while. At about 1:40, Devin and I drove over to our local Border's store for another book release party. They were celebrating the latest Rick Riordan book, the second in his Kane Chronicles, and each kid at the party was given a free Lego Pharoah's Quest set. We were there for over an hour and a half, because some of Devin's friends from school were at the party also, and they played with their Legos on the floor in the kid's section well after the party ended. They had a really great time at the party, and alot of kids showed up. Of course, free Legos were involved! While the event was going on, one of the Border's employees handed out coupons for the parents for 40% off one book, good for today only. So, while Devin and his pals played, I treated myself to the new Jodi Picoult novel. I haven't read any of her books, but this one looked pretty good. I'll let you know what I think of it when I get around to reading it. I still haven't started my new Sookie Stackhouse novel yet, and I am thinking the next book on my list will be "The Help", since a movie version of that novel is coming out in August. I kind of want to read the book first, as I am afraid the movie will spoil it for me. If anyone has any suggestions of some good novels, please let me know, as I am always looking for good books to read!

So, I am back at home now, obviously, waiting for Devin to finish his one hour of video game time so I can crash on the couch with my remote! Okay, I will make dinner first, but at 9:00 tonight, my ass will become well acquainted with the sofa cushions, as HBO is airing a Lady Gaga concert. Since I can't see her live, this is the next best thing.

I think I will go now, as I see it is time to kick Devin off the PS3 (yippee!!)!
