Book SHELVES!!

Oh, my GOSH!! Look what is going on at my place!

Josh and Nate are setting up the bookshelves…

that I’ve dreamed of having alllll myyyyy liiiiife!!!

I used to work at a bookstore when I was a youngster and that only enhanced my deep love of books….and the need for more bookshelves! haha.

I wasted no time in getting started filling these pretty things.

Fiction. Alphabetical, by author…of course.

We’re just getting started, because once I’m finished with fiction…

I’ll move on to non-fiction…

and self-help…

and history…

and homesteading…

and writing…

and crochet…

and maternity…

and natural health…

*SIGH*

I guess we’ll be needing the other three bookshelves set up.

Then we’ll move on to…

Church books.

I should probably just hang a sign outside that says, “Library.”

But then, that might disturb all the time I need…

to read.

Heh, heh.

Miss Potter

I seem to be having a Beatrix Potter “thing” these days.

First, we watched the movie “Miss Potter” for the millionth time.

Can’t get enough of that one.

Then Jillian visited the Potter museum and brought back some beautiful treasures from the Lake District in England.

Then there are all the magical books that make my heart sooo happy.

I remember working at the bookstore when I was just a kid and dreaming of owning the whole World of Peter Rabbit boxed set…someday…

… someday.

Heh, heh.

100 Happy Days #8

009

I just realized that instead of dragging my fluffy body to the boring old Nordic Track, and trying to beg myself to stay on there a measly 20 minutes–

I can set up my kindle with big, huge, READABLE font and engross myself in a really good book.

Seriously, time just flew by without me even knowing it. In fact, I looked up at the clock and I had gone over my goal time. My first thought was, “I’m not finished with this chapter.” Heh, heh.

Perhaps I’ve finally discovered the secret to exercising for more than 20 minutes by giving myself permission to read.

Exercising is making me pretty darn happy…

at last.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

That’s right…it’s Theodor Geisel or the man behind The Cat In The Hat’s birthday tomorrow. If you’re like many folks around here–just looking for a reason to celebrate, then here’s your chance. My cute little daughter Lyndi has even made a sweet party favor tutorial for the Partyland Utah blog along with some adorable Seuss-y cookies. Check them out for these and more Cat In the Hat type party ideas right HERE.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!!
