It's been well over a year...

But today I got a new library card!! YAY! Here are the books I checked out:


The nearest branch is absolutely gorgeous, its in a renovated, old house and all the different sections are in separate rooms... kids downstairs, fiction in one, cooking/workout/self-help in another. I loved wandering around and just browsing the books.

Yesterday I started reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin. I was instantly hooked because I could so easily relate. Just like the author, there is nothing wrong with my life... I have a good job, friends, a wonderful family and for the most part, I am happy. But I could be happier. I am afraid that sometimes I have a very negative (albeit realistic) perception of the world around me and I'd like to put a little more sunshine in my every day life.

First project is to finally get serious about my 2010 research project of folklore/myth/fantasy. As I was browsing Amazon today for books I realized that I really didn't want to buy them all... enter the SAPL where I got a library card. And 5 books. Happy day.

Then I will start my own happiness project... to focus on areas of improvement and growth. Maybe it will take me 9 months of research like the author and it becomes a project of 2011. Until then I will do my research, chip away at my "for fun" reading list of books that look interesting I've collected, and begin to declutter in order to move.

Cute tableware

Precious swimmer glasses that would look great out on a patio for a hot summer day.
