Yay, for Vampire People! I don't have my copy yet, but I will be seeking one out next week.
I had a rather eventful night. I met up with some friends for martinis. Well, martiniS for them, martini for me as I was driving. On my way home, I ran over a chunk of misc. concrete in the middle of the highway. No way to avoid it as I didn't even see it. It TORE UP my tire. I was in the left lane and made my way to the right and was about to pull off when I saw an IDOT truck (Ill. Dept. of Transportation...tow truck thingy).
I pulled over right in front of the truck and told the guy what happened. He said to pull off at the next exit (about 1/4 mile up) and he'd put on my spare. Which he did, quick as you please. And IDOT provides that service for free.
I got back on the road in nothing flat. Seriously, for something that could have really sucked, it was a godsend. For those who know Chicago, I was at 290 and Homan. Not exactly the best neighborhood for a single chick at midnight to be by herself.
Glad your safe, ChiKat.
I just found out it is a friend's birthday tomorrow. I think I know a book she'd like...
Last two comments from DH
"god, this is a page turner"
"She has a way with words!"
Glad your safe, ChiKat.
Me, too! Seriously, if I had to get a flat, that was the way to do it. Now I just need to go get a tire first thing in the morning because I have a Civil War reenactment tomorrow and don't want to drive that far on a spare.
I'll probably buy it for my BFF. She loves me dearly, but doesn't quite get the internet thing. perhaps this will help.
I just snarfed a few more chapters. I had meant to wait.
That's pretty cool, ChiKat. And reminds me I need to buy a spare, since I'm driving around on my original extra (bless the Jetta for having fullsized spares--my Accord only had a doughnut).
Okay, now I'm waffling. I had thought about waiting until the book was released at Borders because the closest B&N isn't exactly convenient. But I wanna read it now. I need to go into the city on Monday anyway, so I think I may end up getting it then.

V. Cool. My spare is a fullsized one (thank you, Subaru), but I don't want to not have a spare. I've been doing too much driving lately to be without one.
This is oddly like cooking a meal with a new recipe and watching people's expressions while they eat it.
I sincerely hope no one gets the runs tomorrow.
DH finished - he said wow
actually what he said the first time was something along the lines of "that rocked like a rocking thing with a side of rocking sauce"
So I think this was a recipe for success , paperdol
