Quiet day...

I'm enjoying a quiet day at home. Although I did have to go to the library. I finished Chopping Spree today. And since I was reminded that Monday is a Holiday, I thought I'd trek on out to the library for the last book in the series...Dark Tort.

I was able to find that one, plus they had the new Star Wars book: The Millenium Falcon. I was excited because I just saw the book in Borders a few weeks ago. And eventhough I haven't caught up to all the books in between that one and the one that I last read, I thought I'd better borrow it. LOL The Millenium Falcon is my favorite Star Wars ship of them all, so I think I'm really going to like this one. I still have to catch up with the books in between. Am not looking forward to reading the book where Chewbacca dies. I even forget which one that is, but I'm not going to like reading that one. I can tell already. ;)

I'm going to arrange things around the house, finish up a few sewing projects, and hopefully start up some new ones.

It's still gorgeous outside. At the library they were making bird feeders out of pine cones and peanut butter. How fun is that? I think I'm gonna find some peanut butter and bird seed....

Have a great Saturday!

The Library

I just got back from the Library. And I haven't been to one in years. My friend Kristen got me started on Diane Mott Davidson's books. She's a mystery writer whose main character is a caterer. And she's always finding someone murdered on her jobs. Ok, not all of her jobs, but you'd think that if you're a caterer, you'd see a dead body 1 out of 5 jobs you're doing! LOL

And while you're reading, you'll come across a recipe of something that she's cooking for dinner or for one of her catering jobs. I really want to try some of her recipes. :)

Anyway, I've been going through her books rather quickly, and realized that I'm running out of books. And instead of buying more books to have in the house, I figured that maybe I should go to the library to check them out instead. Then I don't have to buy the books, and then have them filling up my shelves. Cause really, I have so many books, I couldn't read them all again in my lifetime.

So it was an experience for me. Gone are the old card catalogs (See, told you it's been a long time). They've been replaced by computers. And now they have self-service scanners to check the books out for you. How cool is that?? I'm usually not big on the self-scanners because I figure that it's putting someone out of a job. But I have to admit, these are very cool. and with the amount of people in the library, you do need to have something like that, especially when there isn't the money in the budget to hire a whole lot of staff.

I love that there are CD's and DVD's there now, and I still have to explore the non-fiction section.

if you haven't gone to your public library, go check it out! You'll be pleasantly surprised. :)
