To this day, my favourite eat-out-meal is breakfast. I love going out for breakfast! It brings back so many fond memories. So most Saturdays, I take myself out for breakkie. The Husband is usually working and, besides, he doesn't really get into the "going out for breakfast" vibe. I bring my book, have several cups of coffee and usually some form of pancake or french toast.
There's a really neat restaurant in my town called Eggs Crepes Restaurant. As the name would imply, they specialize in crepes. Savoury crepes. Fruit crepes. Sweet chocolate crepes. Yum!
I was there on Saturday. Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone. Two cups of coffee. Crepes filled with strawberries and English Cream on the side. Heaven!
As I got into my car to go back home, I noticed the store beside Eggs Crepes. It's a health care store. My brain sort of registered the words 'Sleep Therapy'. Having chronic insomnia, this caught my eye. And I looked closer at the sign.
CRAP SLEEP THERAPY PRODUCTS
What??!
Now why would I want to pay for Crap Sleep Therapy Products? I sleep like crap already. I don't really need help in that department. I can handle the crap sleeping on my own, thank you very much.
Then I re-read the sign.
Oh.
Maybe there's a literacy store nearby.

That is so funny... although here is my real question. The book is called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone? Is that a new one I don't know about?
DGIT: The Philosopher's Stone was the first book. I think the American version was called The Sorcerer's Stone. I remember reading that there were slight tweeks to the Americanized version. I guess the Brits didn't think you could handle words like jumper (sweater), pudding (dessert) and snogging (kissing). Ruddy idiots!
Hey, hey!! LOL...I may not understand those british words..but I think brits are all righty people! LOL...(Besides, I have an ancestor from over there..somewhere...)
Hmmm...wonder why they changed the name of it though? Just because a few words are re-written for the americans?? Crazy author! :D
And 2nd timers we are Mo! I'm surprised actually to have fallen for this man..just because I felt I did not need one..I surely wasn't looking...
Wow, I didn't know they changed the name of the book. That's quite interesting. I want a copy of their book to see what else is different...
Now, back to the original reason for the blog...lol
I also read it wrong when I scrolled down but now I want to know...
What the heck does 'CPAP' mean???
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Who knew?
Anonymous: Thanks! And now that I've looked that up, it probably explains my crap sleeping. And The Husband's.
