Sometimes I know when not to speak

It's rare, but sometimes I actually THINK before I speak. For example, today I decided to get gas (okay - my car with the FEED ME light on decided for me) so that meant I could leave work, fill the tank and go to the LIBRARY. The library is so awesome at lunch time. I don't have to sign any little people on computers, nor do I have to run around making sure they don't trash the place. So I had about 20 minutes to browse and grab books off the shelf. I'm pretty sure I didn't sing out loud.

But the funny part happened when I was checking out. The very kind librarian let me know I still had two books out Kids and Money and Do It Now - break the procrastination habit. I was just about to blurt out that I was interested in the Do It Now book, but I just hadn't taken the time to read it. Then I realized that I would have to spend about 5 minutes explaining why I was on the floor laughing at my own lame joke, so I kept my mouth shut. But I got some pretty good books - The Tao of Warren Buffet, The Frugal Woman's Guide to a Rich Life, Shiver (a nice trashy murder mystery), Someone to Love and Twenty Wishes (nice trashy books), 7 Money Mantras for a Richer Life. And a Brad Paisley cd.
