Book Store Slumber Party

I was just realizing that I never take the time to blog anymore, and I don't like that. I have been so busy I just let life fly by without taking time to reflect. Really want to get back to doing it, even if it means I go to sleep a little later. Sometimes I may write about meaningful revelations that I may have experienced, tonight is not one of those times. Tonight I want to write about my dream, my wish, to have a slumber party in a book store. What would a slumber party in a book store be like? First of all, it would be a party of one, because I don't want anyone interrupting my reading time! When I'm reading a really good book, and someone interrupts it actually feels like a violent pull from whatever world I was in, back to this world. In this world, I live in Indiana. Being violently forced out of Middle Earth, the Secret Garden, Austin's England, or even (the worst place to be pulled away from) a slow float down the Mississippi River is not a very nice thing to have happen to you! So, that means no one can come to my party but me. I might make an exception for the few readers who also fly away to different lands when they read, only because I know they wouldn't be bugging me back to Indiana because they'd be off in their own world themselves. But I'm sure about that detail because that would mean I would have to share some of the books with them. Oh, how wonderful it would be to have all that time in the book store, uninterrupted reading, of any book I wanted. If I got bored or finished with one genre, I could just head over to a different section and start reading there! In fact I don't think it would be a slumber party, it would need to be a week long vacation. I think I would choose Barnes and Noble for my vacation because I could just get a massive stack of books and go sit in one of those comfy chairs and read. They have all those Barnes and Noble classics and lots of new releases, no waiting lists because I'm the only one there. And they would have to close the store, except for one person to work the Starbucks, and make me white peppermint mochas with extra foam whenever I wanted. In fact, if I can have all the white peppermint mochas with extra foam I want, I don't think I need food. My slumber party/vacation in a book store can never happen, can you imagine how much money I would end of spending?! I know I'm not going to finish all the books I want to read in that time. I can't leave Barnes and Noble without a bunch of books when I'm only there for a few minutes. I don't think there's enough money in the world to cover it. Oh well, a girl can dream can't she?
