Squeezed in by the deadline

I don't know how today went by so fast.  Katie and I each hosted sleepovers at separate locations last night, and we're both just exhausted from staying up so late.  We managed to squeak in a morning nap with Avonlea for a couple of hours, but since then we've both felt pretty off. It seems that God was merciful in that, if we were to be feeling so tired and kinda crappy, at least He'd make the hours slip away faster. Now it's barely half an hour before tomorrow and I need to make this post happen! I should definately try to make it a point to make my daily post earlier, but that's neither here nor there. So here goes:

I'm having a revelation about my possessions. It seems that the items I've been selecting so far can fall into about two general categories: things I've had for a long, long time and have not needed or used in about as long, and things that I have no idea how or when they came into my life. Tonight's fare is a 50/50 split with one flier. I don't know where I came upon After Your Deer is Down or The Duck Hunter's Bible. I'm not a duck hunter. I've only been a deer hunter for two years now, and I know what to do after my deer is down ;-)  Funny.

But I do know where Tales to Tremble By and this short collection of Poe stories came from; I've had them since elementary school. But, I'm positive that we have maybe a couple of copies of Poe's complete works around here, and they should cover any need to read a terrifying tale.

Be Prepared is a definate suggested reading for any new or expecting father. It's hilarious. It's dead on about a great many things. It greatly resembles the Scout Handbook. And it's written from a man's perspective about the experience of becoming a new dad, which is notably missing from the vast sea of baby books out there, and believe it or not, I've done some wading in that sea to back up my point of view. I will probably seek out a new father to gift this book (and keep my other copy as a reference, as it's helpful for the first whole year of Baby's life).

Peace.
