Tequila Bottles, Bar Coasters, Coloring Books, Pez Dispensers and Goosebump Books......

Remember these books?  My son used to have a collection of about 30 of these books back when he was younger and I was thinking of them the other day and I've decided that I think I'm gonna start collecting them.   I used to read them to him all of the time when he was young.  In fact I think I read them to myself ....(when no one else was around...)..........cause they were such 'COOL' books.......(.......yeah, I'm a sophisticated reader like that!) 

R.L STINE "Goosebumps" Books

.......the only think is........(now that I think about it).........I'm fairly certain (....why I'm saying I'm fairly certain is beyond me - since I have no doubt in my mind...)  that I SOLD them all in a garage sale about 9 years ago for $5.00.  (...what was I thinking........30 books for 5 bucks???..........helllooooo.....they'd probably be collectors items by now, right?)  .....so now I've got to start all over.............you know........since I don't have any books now!   

..............AND since I don't actually HAVE any 'Goosebumps' books yet......... hairyman tells me that I shouldn't tell people that I collect Goosebump books -  you know.......since I DON'T HAVE ANY in the collection yet.....he says I need to stop doing that......(.........apparently he says I do this a alot with my collections.).....(I tell people I collect things when I don't actually have any in my collection yet).............(I told him to 'Bite Me!")

So my collections are as follows:
1.) Tequila Bottles  2.) Bar Coasters 
3.) Coloring books 
4.) Pez Dispensers  (I only have 2)  (...........maybe this is what he is referring too.....) 
                 ............and now my latest collection...............
5.) Goosebumps Books (I have 0)

I used to collect '50 cent pieces'..........(..but I spent them all...)   ....and I used to collect 'Candy Bars'....(....till I ate them all)...(....who the 'Freak collects Candy bars anyway?  What a stupid idea!)

Hairy man says that I really shouldn't count the pez dispenser collection and the Goosebump book collection until I actually increase the size of my collections a bit..............(.......again................I told him to 'Bite Me!")

  6. Mostly I collect unpaid bills. I came by from FetchMyFlyingMonkeys and wanted to say "HI!" and I'm enjoying your blog so I'll probably put it on my daily reads now, like as if I had nothing better to do. It'll be fun!
