Happy things for today

The weather was remarkably warm for late December, the kind of day that makes people wonder what Mother Nature is up to and why she's smiling that way. Tomorrow should be even warmer (till the next cold front comes in). Time to make sure there are clean, lightweight shirts for me to wear!

Spent entirely too much time in a bookstore, which, since I had cash on me, meant that I spent entirely too much. Was quite happy to find those books, though.

Saw a sunset with colorful combinations of clouds and contrails.

Via one of the LJ communities (possibly [livejournal.com profile] linguaphiles), discovered the existence of a site devoted to the Buffy musical--en français. I don't know much more French than the average ignorant American, but this makes me happy all the same.

I'm glad you got some new books.

Thanks for the Buffy link. I enjoyed and reposted.

Me too! Bookses are good, and these were all books I hadn't managed to find at the local library. (At least one actually is in the local library, but I had never found it there because (A) I didn't know the author, (B) the title is a common word that's pretty useless for searching with, and (C) the online catalog's subject listing didn't include the keywords I'd been using in the search. It's all good, though, since it looks like a book I will want to keep on hand. Whee!)

Glad you enjoyed the Buffy link!

I enjoyed the warm respite by sitting on my front porch thumbing through the Swanson vitamin catalog but I know what you mean about the too warm temps making you wonder what Mother Nature is up to.
Like it's the warm before the storm, perhaps?

It's going to be cooler here later in the week, which makes perfect sense. For today, though, it's already warmer than I was expecting this early in the morning!

Yay, new books!

Yay indeed! I'm happy with what I found yesterday. :-)
