We decided to go to the library to return the HUGE stack of books we've had for two weeks. Dayna had 11, I had two. I love having a kid who reads. I am glad I helped instill that joy in her. As always, we checked out another stack. She'll probably have her's done by Friday. She talked me into Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr.
After the library, Dayna said she wasn't sure she could limit her back to school shopping to what we had, and the bank was closed, so she asked to go to Barnes and Noble instead. We're living dangerously...
She looked at several Manga's. They didn't have the last Fruits Basket volume. They didn't have another one she was looking for. She did find two she wanted. Then we hit the teen section. I wasn't able to find Eragon in the Fantasy section, there it was in teen, just as Dayna suggested. I read an exerpt from book 4. Dayna grabbed another book she wanted and eyeballed another, waiting for it to come out in paperback to add to the rest of the series she already owns.
On our way to the registers, we passed the "Required Summer Reading" tables. They had Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbuy. I remembered reading it in Freshman Honors English. For $6, we bought that too.
On the way back home, we goofed off in the car again. I went to say two things at once and it came out jumbled as one very silly word. The two of us laughed so hard. We started combining other words to make funny words. I took a detour past one of Dayna's friend's house to avoid traffic. Over a year ago, when we were passing it one day, I said, "Shoot them a smile!" Dayna misheard me and thought I said, "Shoot them AND smile." We still laugh about it to this day whenever we pass by. :-)
