I walked into the Wal-Mart as they were counting down, 5...4...3...2.5...2...Midnight. Twenty minutes later I walked out with some software (my real intent for going to the store), 2 boxes of Crunch-N-Munch (my latest "Snack" fad, more on those another time though) and a copy of Stephenie Meyer's latest drug book. I walked past the line to the electronics section and on my way back decided to see if I could get a copy of the book.  As I waited in the fast moving snake-like line, I saw some neighbors.  They were headed towards the stack of books, I was headed the other direction as the line wound around the Lawn and Garden section. A few minutes later, their daughter came up to me and let me know that they had a book for me at the front of the line.  They had apparently been able to grab one for everyone in their party, and didn't need that many, so they gave one to me and one to another neighbor in line just a few people ahead of me.  A huge thanks goes out to them. Disclaimer: I didn't get the book for me.  In fact, I haven't event read the other books in the series.  In fact, I haven't read the Harry Potter books, not the Work and the Glory series.  I bought this as a surprise for my hard working loving wife, who deserves the time to herself.  Where she can get away from the real world and escape into a good book for a while.
