Little Miss Drama Pants

I’m sure most of you are aware of the phenomenon of celebrating a birthday. Some of you may be familiar with the birthday week-long celebration. I have decided that it is now time for the birthday month celebration. Because, well, I can. That’s why. Plus, when you’re born in a month that involves fireworks, you just need to claim it. All. So I started out my birthday month right before the weekend. And renamed July as DramaPantsapalooza. Or Pantsapalooza for short. What says Pantsapalooza better than starting the month off with a long weekend and hanging out at the lake?

Nothing, really. Except maybe fireworks.

Oh yeah, I did that, too.

After that, the gifts begin to arrive. To start out the month, I bought myself a little something I’ve had my eye on for a long time. A laptop bag. This bag in particular. I’ve been coveting it for a couple of years, actually, but could never bring myself to pay $75+ (which is how much it was the first time I laid eyes on it) for a backpack. I iz cheap. But when I was perusing them online the other day, turns out the price has gone down quite a bit. Like, ridiculously affordable and totally justifiable. So I bought it. Happy Pantsapalooza to me! And it came today! Squee! Along with another present!

Pantsapalooza Present Are the Best

Why, yes, that would be a W00t! box on top. But we’ll get to the big box first. It had my bag! See?

The W00t! box contained the present that B got for me. He’s really lucky that I send him links all the time with stuff I like. Sadly, he only really seems to pay attention when it’s close to my birthday, Christmas or our anniversary. Or when I REALLY REALLY want something.  My life, it is so hard.

ANYWAY.

In case y’all hadn’t heard, W00t! was recently acquired by Kindle Amazon and to celebrate, the W00t! of the day was a Kindle. And I might have sent B a text message on the first day of Pantsapalooza that might have said something like “Have you seen today’s woot? WANT!” (For the record, I did not plan that. W00t! apparently knew that it was the first day of Pantsapalooza and surprised me with the deal of the day being the Kindle.)

B, being a wise man, got me one.

I am completely enamored. Especially the part where it came preloaded with the New Oxford English Dictionary. And that I can listen to my audiobooks on it. And that I can carry a library with me everywhere I go. How cool is that?! Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a few hundred books I’d like to read.
