Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hi Holli!

How's the vintage life going?

Pretty well! I keep finding cool stuff. I feel like I've lucked into some sort of racket-- I get to go to thrift stores and estate sales all the time, buy whatever I want, and then people give me MORE money. It's crazy!

Last night I went to a last-chance estate sale and bought a bunch more books than I should have. But they were really pretty books.

They pay me in WOIMS

Sharks with friggin lasers. For real.

more books than I should have.

These words don’t make any sense to me.

Well, I have 30 boxes of vintage books in my garage. So I should not be acquiring more, even if they do have really nice illustrations.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Re: Shark, with laser...

“If there was a way the shark could operate the laser on its own accord and use it against humans, we wouldn’t even attempt this.”

Heh.

I miss estate sales, they don't have them here in Utah. I think all of a person's stuff just gets divided among the kids or sent to the LDS church thrift store, where it's picked over for good stuff then the rest distributed to their own stores.

Because books.

Any old children's books in there, Holli?

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

I imagine I'll retire in about 28-30 years, assuming the elderly aren't sent to refineries to make oil by that point.

Ack! Friendly neighborhood dogs rolled in something dead and then came running into our office to share.
