I got it!!! I finally got my hands on it!!! I have searched high and low. Here, there, and everywhere. I have been to Borders, Barnes & Noble, Target, CVS, Walmart (God help me!).....every-freakin-where!!!

Sold out. Denied. Everywhere.

But I just HAD to have it!!! I waited so long for it. Then it started popping up all over the blogosphere. One by one people were finding it. Everyone but me (cue the drama queen music...).

I sent emails. Begged. Pleaded. Tried to buy it online. Nope. Wasn't happening.

Then, today, it happened. Kevin walked in from work and tells me he has a surprise for me. I loooove surprises!!! But I couldn't imagine what it could be. It wasn't flowers...he couldn't hide those in his briefcase. He did have to stop at the grocery store so I honestly thought he just got me a little sweet something...ya know, keeps me from being cranky.

Then...he reached in to his briefcase....and slowly slid out my surprise.....

HE FOUND A COPY OF

FLEA MARKET STYLE

FOR ME!!!!!!

Can I get a Wooo-to-the-Yippy-Ya-Hoooo!!!!!!

Woot! Woot!

What can I say?! The man is a gem! And, no, not just because he bought me a magazine. It is because it these little things he does for me, like tracking down a magazine that is so out of the realm of anything he would ever read, just because he knows it would make me happy. I am a damn lucky girl, and truly blessed!!!

If you are in the Boston area and you want this magazine, he found it at Out Of Town News in Harvard Square in Cambridge.
