Written by the granddaughter of the main character, this is a heartwarming true story. My grandmother was also adopted. She never found out anything about her birth parents. This book makes me even more curious about my origins on that side. #hoopla
Is it June 24th yet? I can't hear your!👂🏼What did you say? I don't know what are you saying. Are you saying that I can open my box? Now? Ohhhh That I can't open the box now....until tomorrow... ok here I will be...waiting until midnight to open it! Almost there!😱#SummerSlashesBookSwap @Stacypatrice @JoeStalksBeck
In a successful bid to cheer myself up this evening, I took a peek into my #funkopopswap box from the incredibly generous @RekahLee 😃😃😃
2 days! Hurry and get here 3/15!
The worst part about purchasing new books at lunchtime...is having to wait until you get home to start reading! #iwannastartnow #nonsmokersmokebreak #whichonefirst #newbooks #foundothersforlater #excited #thewaitinggame
I am officially over being out of town. I miss my puppers, my bed, and the quiet of a house without kids. Ready to board already! #iwanttogohome
All the mail has been delivered today by all shipping companies and no #secretsantagoespostal. Hopefully it will come tomorrow, though I had not planned on coming into the office because it's my birthday. I'll leave my staff instructions to call me ASAP if it arrives. Priorities! 😂
Also it's my own damn fault it got delayed so I'm trying to be like the mountain, and steadfast and patient.
Here‘s a long list of the most anticipated books of 2018. https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/117487.2018_Most_Anticipated_Releases_No_YA
I acquired some other goodies to make up for it. Swear. #bookmarkswap #isuck #iDidntForgetImJustSLOW
Come on Toby and sit outside with me. Instead he sits in the driveway longingly waiting for my husband to come back from the store. Thanks for the company...buddy.
And so the waiting begins. I'm not sure who my #summersantagoespostal is so I can thank them.

Had to get up at the crack of dawn for work this morning and won't be home until late tonight. I should have brought my #secretsantagoespostal package with me! The anticipation is killing me!!! (I admit, I peeked in the box, but everything was nicely wrapped 😉, so I remain in suspense.)
