I Splurged!
I was blessed with some Christ
mas money from a relative and I got a….BIBLE. No surprise there. I’ve had a Bible type of fetish for a few years now, but I told myself today this is THE LAST ONE! Yep, no more. I now only own 2 NLT’s and the new one I bought. The other one I have I’m going to donate to my favorite bookstore. I really want to simplify the books I own. This Bible is leather (o.k. I’m a total sucker for bonded leather and having it look all pretty). I got the Amplified Version since I like it and it’s outside the box compared with NIV, KJV or The Message, or whatever the newest translation is.
Today was spent having my parents and grandfather over for breakfast. That was fun. Beforehand got up early to meet my friend and her mom for her coffee. She recently moved back home so it’s great having her near by again. Now I just have to wait for her brother to also, move back home. After breakfast and watching model airplanes fly around in a park near by I went to lunch with my husband and then on to Borders where I truly splurged. Now I can relax. No more Bible fetish for me. Yes, I am a strange creature.
This afternoon is going to be spent resting. I’m determined to finished Sleepwalking In Daylight by Elizabeth Flock. When I first started it I thought I wouldn’t like it, but now that I’m over half way done with it I can’t put it down. I’m eating it up as much as I ate up, Me & Emma by the same author.
I can’t believe 2010 will be here in less than a week. This past year has flown by so quickly it feels like I was just catching myself writing 2008 accidentally. I wonder how as a society we’re going to say 2010? Are we going to abbreviate it as ‘10?
Tonight is going to be spent resting and having a glass of white wine. I don’t drink that often, but sometimes I like a small glass. Very small. Yes, I’m a completed light weight.

If you wanna downsize your books, take all the books you’ve read and donate them to a library and/or school. Thats what I do. I leave a box by my bedroom door and when I’m done with a book I put it in the box. When the box is full , I take it to a school or library. Libraries do need help with getting that contemporary stuff in.
