The world has changed

If you are OCD or ridiculously type A, you should NOT read this post.  Seriously.  You also should not go to bookstores.  I'll give you a moment to turn back and pretend you never saw this.  You aren't missing anything, just a boring post about the nutritional content of water.  I promise.

 OK, are all the OCD people gone now?  No?  Well the, have you looked at your sock drawer today?  I think you should go reorganize it.  Again.  Some elves may or may not have snuck in while you were sleeping and mixed the white socks with the argyle.  Elves are jerks like that.

Ok, now that they are gone, let's get on with the blog. 

Catina and I were lucky enough to go shopping yesterday without any kids.  We were able to look at things we didn't need and discuss purchases.  We were able to finish a sentence without interruption.  It was awesome.
Then we stopped by the bookstore to buy some journals, and I decided to grab a cheap book on Honduras.  After we realized this store did not have any books on Honduras, we snapped a few pics, and hightailed it outta there before we could be tempted to organize the whole section.  Apparently geography has changed a LOT since I was in school.  Or perhaps the employees at this particular store failed geography miserably. 


Next time you go to Mexico, be sure to stop by Beijing and also see the "Top 10 Hong Kong."  Not sure if it is the top 10 museums, bathrooms, or bookstores, but you can find out when you get there.
While in Asia, there are lots fun things to do in Chicago, San Francisco, and the Cayman Islands.  Not sure if the "New England" book is in the Asia section, but it was definitely not in the United States section.  Maybe there is another England? So we should call England "Olde England", New England "The Old New England" and this new one "The Newest England" so we don't get confused.  Also, we should stop naming places England.
Kids love Virginia.  Which is now in South America.  Does this mean my zip code is going to change?
Notice the orange and yellow books about Alaska in the Arizona section.  Alaska, Arizona- who doesn't mix those 2 up?  It is a common mistake really.
I give up.  Seriously, if this is what we consider the Middle East, I will never be able to help my kids with their geography homework.  I am buying them each their own GPS so they will never feel as lost as I do at this moment.  Help?
