How To Be A Grouch

My bio says that I love vintage books, but I realized that I never share any of them on the blog. These pages are from "How To Be a Grouch" starring that cute green & fuzzy sesame street monster, Oscar! Recently found this one while secondhand shopping with my son. I got such a kick out of it, I had to show you guys. Besides the dress racks, the thrift store bookshelves can be hiding fun old treasures too!  
the storekeeper's cereal name, hahaha!!

"Scram" is my new favorite word.

We've all had days where we've said that to ourselves in the mirror, haven't we?

THE BESSSST! I'm sure we're all thinking of someone in particular. :p

I second this one!

The GIVEAWAY. . .FINALLY!

If I were graded for blogging, I'd probably be getting a D- right now. :p Sorry for being away for a while, my dear blogger friends, but I'll spare you the excuses for my month+ long break *and* my justifying of them, and get down to what's really important for this post. . .
