Shopping Habits of the Poorly Restrained

My shoulder and back are doing much better today.  Now I'm down to a slight pinchy-burny sensation exactly where I think the muscle tweaked.

Once again my library trip got put off for a day, but I have to go tomorrow or one of the books I requested will be sent back and if it gets sent back I will be so completely pissed off at myself because I've been waiting for it for.ever. Also, the new Laurie Notaro is waiting for me to pick it up and I so cannot wait to read it. Still though, if you saw the size of the stack of books I'm taking back?  You might put the trip off for a few days too.  Hi, my name is Erin and I'm a library-holic.

Speaking of books and libraries, today I made not one but two trips to the Powell's satellite store down the street from our apartment.  The first trip was this afternoon with Wendy and Fi and then tonight I went back with Will and actually bought a couple of books–books that I kind of had talked myself out of buying during the first trip over.  Will is not a good shopping companion.  His version of support is "but look! They're used copies! And you need them! It's okay, you should buy them!"  I am now the owner of this bridal guide and this wedding planner.  And then, of course, I had to buy one of the awesome Powell's Green bags (only ninety nine cents) to carry the books.

Will also bought books, he decided to buy a boxed set of the four Lord of the Rings books.  I guess showing me the movies on Sundays made him decide to read the books and I say, more power to him.  I am so happy that he is voluntarily choosing books over World of Warcraft.  There just aren't enough positive words available to tell you the emotion I feel when I see him pick up a book.  On purpose.  For fun.

On the subject of things that Will and I both enjoy we kind of rented four more movies at Hollywood Video tonight.  I meant to just run over the weekend's choices (Stardust, The Holiday and Martian Child) and run back home, but instead Will met me over there and we ended up bringing home The Onion Movie, Breach, Smart People and The Golden Compass.

We have no self control.  It's so sad.

My BF is also a gamer (Eve, not WoW) but I agree with you. I get so excited and proud and thrilled when he picks up a book. Any book. :) Glad your shoulder is feeling better!
