Dec. 13th, 2004 09:49 amPut together my bookshelves and unpacked my fiction this weekend. 8 boxes worth. I'm so happy! *sob*
(Unlike
peake, I am very much in favour of the concept of comfort reading.)
Progress. Progress. Still no sofa, but the books make up for a lot. I spent a fair bit of time just sitting on the floor next to them, feeling happy.
Met
crankygrrl for coffee and streetcar-catching this morning. Only 45 minutes after we'd said. (She called me at 8:20 -- i.e. 20 minutes after the scheduled time -- and the conversation went something like this:
CRANKY: I'm just getting dressed.
ME: Excellent. I'm just drying my hair.
CRANKY: Good to know we're both on track.
And at that, I managed to forget a) my coffee mug, b) my gloves, c) my music for choir tonight. Oh well.)
As
mrs_cake so eloquently puts it, smile and shine, y'all!

Date: 2004-12-13 09:47 am (UTC)I'm pleased with mine because I now have enough that I don't need to stack my books two rows deep. This was a problem in Montreal (there were a lot of D through F authors that I didn't see for years at a time).
Of course, I still need to figure out a home for the "Unread Books" pile, which is taking up about 2 boxes at present.
