So, I have pintrest, which a lot of you have too...anyway, I find myself constantly looking at my "Wish List" board. I put things that someday I plan on getting...who knows when. But I recently put tons of books. I have the Jane Austin leatherbound classic book from Barnes and Noble...and when Patty told me, "You should get some more" I said..."WHAT?! THEY HAVE MORE?!" and I went online and drooled. Here are some of my faves.
I want so many of them. I think around 27 or something. I have a vision of having them displayed and reading out of them and reading my children out of the chidrenish ones. Someday, I really will have all those books. And with my new goal of reading classics, I just know it will all work out. I had this idea of rewarding myself with a new book everytime I finish one of them. They are ginormo so it would be quite a feat. And of course I would get some with gifts ;)
A couple other things I have been eyein'.
Sigh...oddly enough, I don't get depressed or anything when I look at my "wish list". I just love pintrest for these reasons. I don't have to forget when I see something I want. Before when my birthday or Christmas came around I was like...dangit! What did I want? Now I have a solid picture list and it's so easy.
Here is my pinterest if you are into that kinda thing.

I didn't get pinterest when it first happened. But I'm thinking I should do it now- for the whole "I don't wanna forget thing" because it happens all the time. I love that headband/scarf. So youthful. I don't think I can pull that sort of thing off now. Wooden spoons- never seen that before. Somehow I lost some of my metal spoons and my dang plastic ones- the measurement has worn off and you can barely read most of them. It is so annoying. I need to replace them, but it aggravates me a bit, because they're still functional. It's just easy to grab a 1/3 cup instead of a 1/2. I'm so glad you came to visit!!! Yeah that documentary! I was thinking the same thing! The old history! CRAZY!!!! My friend has a grandma that went through it and wrote about it in her journal. Maybe it was a great grandma. I don't know. But can you believe the horrificness?!?! Pure evil. I remember wanting to collect books, but then I realized the language was all wierd, atleast it was THEN to me. Like Alice and Wonderland I think is totally wierd old english. So the idea has faded. But they ARE beautiful bookds. It would be a cool display. I'm such a pitiful reader. I can only read when it's relevant or actiony. I'm realizing I'm the opposite with movies. I love the slow ones the most. They are like therapy to me. That's how I felt about the VOW. I can see why people would hate it, but I don't know. I just loved it. So far, I'm the only one I know that didn't despise it, let alone enjoy it. Have a great day!!!
Looks like a fun goal, and I think you should get the books if you really want to. I really like the swinsuit, and those wooden spoons. I think your idea of having a picture so you won't forget is great. Love you Hugs
fun. Costco just had an edgar allen poe and lots of other classics in leather bound- super cool looking- I ALMOST got them- and then decided not to until I READ them. ha. I'm totally going to get on barnes and noble website now!!! did you buy les miserables? or check it out? if so how much was it it? love you-

I've been out of town for a couple of days, but while I was gone I seriously thought "I can't wait to see pictures from Danielle's trip to DC". And I LOVED THEM! That looks like a FABULOUS TRIP!!! I'm so glad you took pictures of all the amazing sites. And I'm with you, it is so amazing and special and just so cool to see all our our nation's history. So awesome!! And MY GOODNESS...
