I desperately need someone to do filing so I can find the things we need to move. If any readers know someone responsible who is looking for 10-15 hours of work, to be done this week if possible, I am offering $10/hour utt. Please ask them to email me.
Jane, if I hear so much as a peep from you about how filing sucks, I will tell that story about the time in the car.

Borders is the ultimate.
We all know Amazon is pretty darn awesome, but it's online. Borders is officially the best store, not online.
1. Borders is open early and closes late.
Yesterday, after I ate breakfast I thought about going to Rittenhouse square. It was pretty darn chilly outside and I was dressed for 80 degree weather. So I thought I'll go where all good things come from, Tower Records. So I walked towards Tower, I get there. Fancy that, there was no one inside. Oh well the plan was: I'd continue towards the door, bang on it and start crying until they would let me in so I can continue to listen to music and not buy anything. It's 8:45 and Tower opens at 9. Okay...what to do, what to do? I notice people walking into Borders so I decide to take my non-existent business elsewhere. Borders happened to have been open since 8:30. Perfecto.
2. Borders combines three of the best things in life: books, movies and music.
I made my way upstairs towards the music when I spotted a book I was intrested in because Amazon told me I would like it since I liked the Postal Service. They were right. The book had a tone much like J.D. Slainger and seemed to have the same idea of my book, but by that I mean he wrote about school. Once I finished reading for around half an hour, I listened to a little bit of the Cure's new album, and left.
3. People watching.
It was fun to watch the different people who sat down across from me and began to read. You could tell when people were ready to buy the book or put it back. Watching people enjoy an album was nice, but watching people dance to an album was funny. I'm sure people were watching me. And the one time when I laughed out loud at the book seemed to be the signal "Come sit next to me," because suddenly two people showed up out of nowhere.
Borders only downfall is: the one in Rosemont lost a lot of points by making their music section smaller.

In case you were wondering...
Jane has finally hit 5'9"...I think...if Helen's tape measure is right. Just one more inch will be sufficient.

The lies of California
Steven and I are back from Cali, and lest any of you be jealous of our week in the sun, at the beach, I'm here to tell you... It's all lies. No one goes to the beach. The water was to cold for swimming, from San Diego to San Francisco. And it's not hot, at least not at the coast. I think the highest temperature we saw hovered around 75. All the Californians know this, too. The beaches are deserted. It looks like the Jersey Shore in October -- only the die-hards, the stragglers, and the people just out for a little quiet are there.
More space for the likes of us, so that's fine with me. But I'm just here to tell you, don't believe the hype. It doesn't go down like you see on TV. Even in Orange County.

I want a turtle!
Being on the river this spring sparked my love for turtles. They're always hanging out on logs, looking cute. In New Orleans my math teacher had a really cute baby turtle, Gloria. Gloria was definitely the most popular pet in whole school. Don't tell but she was also the only pet. So now for the past couple months I've really wanted a turtle. On Saturday I was in New York and I saw the cutest turtles. I was going to buy one but it was absurdly hot and I wasn't going to be leaving for another 7 hours or so. So today I did some research and decided a Slider turtle is right for me. If anyone knows someone trying to get rid of their slider turtle, old or new tell me. Or if you know where I can get a slider turtle that information would also be appreciated.
