The other night when we got home from England, we went upstairs and I came back out of the bedroom and saw these weird gray circles on the carpet about an inch or so in circumference. They weren't in any kind of pattern, just a circle here and a circle there. I said to my husband, "What are these circles from?" He came out and looked and we couldn't figure it out. I thought and thought and wondered if I had carried anything out there the previous day and set it down, but couldn't come up with anything. I said to my husband, "You don't think it's like from the bottom of a shoe do you?" He said,"No, shoe soles don't look like that!" I noticed that some of the circles went over to the room where his closet is. (Here in Ireland, the closets are so small, he has his closet in one of the guest rooms.) I kept thinking and wondering and finally decided to go into his closet and look at the bottom of all his shoes. Voila! The first pair I picked up had not only circles on the bottom, but dirty circles! I had never known that those shoes soles looked like that. I took them to show him and then he said, "Oh! The gray dirt is from the airport long-term parking lot, remember?" They were the shoes he had worn that day.
Case solved.

Well darn, an alien visit would have been more exciting. :0)
that new book you're reading looks cute - what's it about? do you like it?
Amber, it's by an Irish author and is set in Ireland. It has a lot of Irish culture in it. It is a children's book. It's about a little boy who's mom thinks time is going by too fast. Unknowingly at first, he helps her find more time. It's a little slow, but cute. I thought I'd bring it home to give to M, but I'll let you read it first and then you can give it to her.
Oh wait, did you mean the There's No Place Like Here? I actually haven't started it yet. Just finished the other one today at lunch. :0)
