Today, I became one of those sweaty geeks in blinders with superficial manners. I walked in exactly seven minutes after they opened the doors. It's not the first time, nor will it be the last.
These are the things I bought at the Friends of the Library sale-- in no particular order. All long-playing vinyl unless otherwise noted. Some we don't have and want. Some we don't have and will take a chance. Some we have, but these might be in better condition than the ones we already own. Or some we have and I will sell the recoop the money spent on the ones we want. Get it. Whew.
There is something sickly fun about seeing people eye up the stack under your gritty palm with its blackened fingertips, turning to them to say, "Oh, no, I'm sorry. Those are all mine." I patiently wait my turn for the next stack and reluctantly nod at the other sweaty geeks when they talk to me. But, baby, don't you line jump or pick into my stack as I'm flippin' through it. Have some manners. Or I'll give you some serious elbow! I mean SERIOUS ELBOW! Oh, and to the one or two familiar faces who tried to talk to me in the midst of my offensive. Sorry, can't talk... eating. Yay, good times!

I got some VHS tapes for the kids, too.
I have realized having children finally justifies our pack-ratting nature. We are building an estate for our children, see.
Whew.
