not guilty


there are many things i feel guilty buying: clothes, fancy food, guitar hero legends of rock (but i did get the game WITH the guitar on amazon for $59.99, normally $89.99, and it is obvious that we needed a second guitar so we could battle. it has come into great use very often), shoes (i haven't bought a pair in almost a year), clothes (did i say that already? well, they are the main thing i feel guilty buying).

there are 2 things i feel absolutely and positively NOT guilty buying (and i'm not talking "OJ Simpson 'not guilty'" i'm talking the real kind of "not guilty"): books and things for brennan.

let's talk about books today.

i love the smell of barnes and noble, borders, and the thought of the smell of books when i'm buying them on Amazon (because i've learned that in order to buy as many books as i want on a teeny tiny budget, i must buy them on Amazon b/c it saves me boat loads of money. seriously, you don't even want to see my checking account balance today...good thing it's the first of the month on sunday, and hallelujah for feb. being only 28 days, most years...).
note to sean: i bought some books today on Amazon! i made sure to throw in some for brennan too b/c again this is one of the 2 things i mentioned earlier.

do you have a book beside you? i do. it's the book thief. i finished it last night. broke my heart with every chapter, but mended it back together again...kind of. nonetheless, i am attached. i just picked it up and took two deep breaths as i flipped the pages in front of my nose. it smells glorious. intoxicating. did i mention i love to read? what books did i buy today? you'll have to wait and see...for now, i'm basking in my "betterness" for learning from the book thief.

bet you can't wait to see what i'm reading next...
