The UPS guy

I shocked the UPS guy today.  By being home.  Normally, he just leaves packages with my neighbor.  [He's new; the last UPS guy would NOT leave stuff next door, which meant I had to schlep out to their central location and wait in line to pick packages up.]

Today's haul -- three boxes, all Amazon.  Why not package them in one box?  I dunno, maybe the books were located at different shipping centers?

So, now I have these new story books waiting for me
  • Carrie Lofty's What A Scoundrel Wants
  • La Nora's The Pagan Stone
  • John Meacham's American Lion 
My treat tonight will be reading one of them...after I go for a walk.

Semi-related:  while checking Google Reader (and reading about marketing), I saw a commercial for Nora Roberts' books -- it was particular to The Pagan Stone, but also mentioned La Nora's books generally.  Nice.

I've been off work for a week.  Before I left on Friday, my supervisor made me promise not to check my email all week.  It was hard to make the promise, and I was extremely tempted on Monday and Tuesday last week.  But now, not so much.  If anything came up, it has either been handled or it'll wait until I return tomorrow.  I'd planned on checking it today, just to clean out the junk (why am I cc'd on some of that crap?) but instead will leave it for tomorrow when I'm back at the office.  Why ruin my relaxed mood?
