Library Card
#2 “Library Card”
I finally decided that after a years or two MIA, my library card was not going to suddenly reappear, so I paid my $2 to get a new one. I also had to pay a cringe-worthy fine that was incurred when we suddenly went from a 2 car family to a 1 car family and gas prices dictated there was no “drop Zach off at work and use the car for the day”. Well, that and the fact I am notorious about returning library books on time.
I thought briefly about getting the Jenny McCarthy book, but my stomach still lurches just seeing the title, so it will need to wait until I don’t have a visceral reaction to seeing the book after seeing her interviews about the book.
I also am not holding out a lot of hope for the “Sneaky Chef” recipes, but I thought it might be worth at least trying some ideas out. I sure didn’t want to spend actual money on it unless it was really worth it. Zach had been wanting the Ray Kurzweil book for a while, and I also got him a book on reading body language that looked interesting. (both look like books I will pick up too). Of course, the requisite homeschooling books and cookbooks that I am always browsing through.
I did make myself pick out a non-fiction “fun” book for myself. My grandma gave me some Nicholas Sparks books a while ago, but since they were “non-essential reading”, they mostly just sat on my bookshelf. Then my best friend said she loved that author for a quick read and kept bugging me to read one, and so I did. (“Dear John”, btw). I read it in a few hours and remembered why I love reading again. I realized I need to let myself enjoy taking a bit of time for myself again, so I am going to make a point of always getting one “fluff” book every time I go to the library.
