oooh, Scholastic Warehouse sounds like a blast.
My mom better build that bookcase fast.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Happy Birthday ita!
When I was a kid, I loved a book called "The Wise old Dog", but I cannot find it anywhere now. I also loved Ferdinand, but Grover, sor some reason traumitized me. I think his rendition of "I'm so Blue" was too sad for me. Anyway. I burst into tears every time I even saw Grover, which was very sad for my mother, as she LOVED him.
I wasn't much into kids books, as my mother read to me from non-picture books from at least the age of 3. I loved The Boxcar Children, Little Women, and the entire Bobbsey Twins series (althoug now the Bobbsey twins AND the Boxcar Children remind me, unfortunately, of G-rated version of Flowers in the Attic. Damn that VC Andrews)

Now tagless for your comfort.
My favorite books as I got a little older (8 years old) were the Dorrie the Witch books. But most of them are out of print now and REALLY hard to find.

I came across a book in the attic the other day that I used to just love: The Meanest Squirrel I Ever Met, about a squirrel con-man.
Also found my old Fisher-Price abacus. Two of the bars are missing, though, so now it's base eight.

I wish I could find a stuffed tiger that looks like Hobbes. My nephew looks a lot like Calvin. Maybe there's a pattern and I can make a Hobbes. Gah.
I'm totally sickeningly Auntie-fied.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Allyson, I love the Frances books and the David books. Emeline got 2 of the David's for Christmas.
And also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ITA!

Happy Birthday, ita!
I'm with Nilly and the Harold love. In fact, I loved that book so much, it's probably the first one I ever wrote in. It's still in my parent's house somewhere.

I purchased this luggage when I was home. It's making me very happy. And people at the airport kept complimenting me on it.
