I am here, here am I + the Pimped-Out Bookcart

by unruly_katy

Funny old world this is, where we never know, from one moment to the next, what will happen in our lives. Today I did not expect to be here but I am here and full of happiness and gratitude at that fact.

Today I am also thinking muchly about Pimp My Bookcart and what a fine idea it is to entice people to trick out book carts in the stylinest ways they can think of because I used to push a bookcart around my kids’ school and it was one of the joys of my life, for true, to serve up delicious, nutritious books to enthusiastic little readerkids. I hope everyone in the world who has any kind of imagination and/or design chops will pimp out a bookcart and try to become the Pimped-Out Bookcart champeen of 2009. Cos that? Might be the greatest career aspiration ever.
