My new favorite place...


Over the past few years I have grown a love for reading. Now that I have graduated I have time to read books I enjoy and not feel guilty for not reading textbooks I read all the time. I have come to realize that books are expensive and I can't justify spending $20 on a book that I finish in a few days and then it just sits and collects dust on our bookshelf. Today I decided to go to the Library and see what I could find, and I LOVED it. It was so easy, free, and they even have DVD's. Why would anyone spend money at Blockbuster when the library has everything and it is free? I took Robby and Veronica with me and they too got a few books and a movie. We had the best time and it is now our weekly outing. If any of you are as cheap (or just simply a newlywed on a tight budget) as I am, I encourage you to try this out, it is the best!

Tom and the boys make bi-weekly run to the library as well. Mitch reads a novel a week & Tom is a freak for CD's. Tiny likes books about big trucks. Me--I used to read, but alas now I'll I read is vendor catalogs. Sigh, maybe I read again someday and have a book club again. Enjoy the lvccld.:)

My problem is that I forget to return books and then I pay huge fees. But have fun at the library, especially because you're not there studying.

TiP: Wipe the books down with Clorox wipes before you read them (it's disgusting what comes of them!) Yes, I know I'm anal and I'm proud of it! We used to hit the library all the time till we lost so many books that I could have filled my bookshelves.
