Just two, lone Netflix movies...waiting to be picked up. I am still laughing at the anonymous poster who said she's going to take a lawn chair and some Pinot down to her mailbox and sit there. ROFLMAO!!! That makes me feel like people are here with me, holding my hand through my Exile vigil.

My Mailbox

The Day After
So my copy of The Exile didn't come yesterday. And I lived. And once again - I wait. Here's my agenda for the day:
8:00: Drop kids at school
8:30: Yoga
9:44: Check the mail
9:45: Shower
10:14: Check the mail
10:15: Make a cup of coffee
10:16: Read The Exile if it came
10:16a: Wait if The Exile did not come
I'll keep y'all posted. My sincere condolences to those of you - like me - who didn't get your copies.
My absolute joy for those of you who did. I canna WAIT to discuss with all of you.
Post Scriptum: Please keep your fingers crossed for me as I will most assuredly end up in a rubber room if that damned book does not show up at my dwelling today.
Post Scriptum Scriptum: Yes, I know I can go to Barnes and Noble but it's the principle of it. I ordered the book and I'm waiting for the book. I'm also just as stubborn about those shopping carts where you have to return the damn thing to get your quarter back. I buck the system. I say "eff you" to "the man" and I give my cart to someone and I don't ask for my quarter back. Not only do I feel like I'M in control.... but getting that quarter really makes some people's day. :)

No Exile Depressed Food Consumption Update #1
I just ate a spoonful of blue cheese dressing - straight.
Are You There God? It's Me, Carol.
WHY GOD? WHY?!?
Oh this is bad. This is really, really bad. I have now broken out the potato chips. While I'm MAKING DINNER.
WHY? WHY? (yelled like Nancy Kerrigan)
(Nancy, if you're a fan of Outlander, I apologize for that and totally wanted you to win.)

The Exile gods are NOT smiling down on me today...
2:25 PM and I still don't have it. It's coming via USPS... and my mail has already arrived today. Now - usually a book will arrive separately because it's too large for the mailbox. But the separate deliveries usually come in the AM.
I'm heading over to the Post Office now...to see if they can help me or give me any info.
I'll keep you posted. (NO PUN INTENDED!!!!!!)
PS - Nope. Not going to Barnes and Noble. I ordered it. I'm waiting for it. I'll know better next time.

THE EXILE ROLLCALL
Consider this a Gathering.

Diana Gabaldon's "The Exile": Today's the Day!!!!
Whereisit?Whereisit?Whereisit?Whereisit?Whereisit?!?
I have checked my front stoop no less than 3 times already; maybe four.
My copy of The Exile is coming via US Postal Service - and usually when I get something larger than an envelope, my postman makes a special trip to my house in the mail truck. If it comes via regular mail, it'll be here around noon, 1:00.
(If it doesna show today you will all here me crying all the way from your respective states.)
I am sending you all good Exile vibes (new Jamie... NEW JAMIE!!!!!!!!)
