James sitting on Allison’s Barefoot Books. James has been a bit of a pest lately. I’ve learned that I have to wedge something under our door to prevent the little bugger from waking me up while I sleep during the day. Today I got home and started reading a bit of A Dance with Dragons (Book 5 of A Song of Fire and Ice i.e. Game of Thrones). I usually read a page or two and pass out hard.

The next thing I know is that I’ve got itchy bumps right in the crook of my elbow. I certainly hope that I haven’t developed an allergy to the cats.

We’re pretty much at a complete set (for what has been released minus the special variant stuff) but we are missing Empire of Ice with Slam Bam. I keep looking for that one everywhere.
