Galleys!
After waiting all day and thinking they weren't coming, they're here! I have my galleys for Bedtime Monster!
Our brave and trusty UPS man actually brought them to my house. It was our very first UPS delivery here. Usually we pick up our packages in town at the local mailing place. But the UPS man told me to just have stuff shipped to my house. They'll deliver anywhere, even on dirt roads with no street signs where their trucks scrape through the trees.
So, he braved the mud and delivered, and it was even after five when I seriously thought he had given up on finding me.
I was out walking the dog when the big brown truck popped up over the top of my driveway (it's really steep). I got to ride in the truck to my house. *Bonus* Ha ha. My son loved going into the UPS truck when he was about three. Every time we'd see it he'd go talk to the UPS man and get to go in and stomp around the back of the truck.
But I digress. My proofs are here!
I know I look serious:
But inside I feel like this:
(Yes, that's flower confetti.)
YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteThat last pic is of me on my driveway. It's pretty, but sliding down it backwards in the car in the winter is a whole different kind of excitement.

ReplyDeleteAnd Aisley-
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful here, but also a lot of work to live in a place like this. I suppose it's worth the trade-off, but sometimes when I'm tired I wonder. If you have a dishwasher and a washing machine I am certainly jealous of that!
