Except for the long part where I worried (and I still do worry) about my little brother-in-law.
Work was good. Afterwards, Mr. Micah and I had dinner and went out to Borders on one of our coffee dates. Only this time, I got to buy the book! I ended up going with 2 books (looks sheepish), total of $25, The Interior Castle by Saint Teresa of Avila and Dark Night of the Soul by Saint John of the Cross. I’ve been meaning to read these books for a while. And I think they seem worthwhile enough to actually buy them. I’m very aexcited about both! I looked at so many, it was deliciously fun to browse.
I still have $25 of birthday money left. My plan is to buy another big saucepan/pot for making big batches of yummy food! And if I have something left over, it’ll go towards the craft budget. 😀
To make my birthday even happier, I browsed my bookshelves here for things I haven’t yet read, or haven’t read all the way but want to finish, or want to reread. Then I set aside all the ones that look interesting. It was like book shopping all over again, only with an unlimited budget (since I already own them!). That was fun.

Happy Birthday you! I’m calling you tonight.
We are worried about little brother in law too. I thought he was going to film school, not boot camp. Nathan seems to think he should try to be brave and stick it out a little longer but I think he should come home and go to UD or Cecil until he figures out what he wants to do. Hmmmm.
Love,
Mrs. N
Happy birthday, love! I’m glad to hear that it was extremely pleasant. . . . and the books you got sound fantastic. = )
Good for you!!! From Annette. I hope you find crafts you enjoy. I am learning some more too. It is fun to make sweaters and all kinds of goodies. Joann Fabrics has a great deal of crafts I was told
Belated Happy Birthday! I’m glad you had fun.
Dear Mrs. Micah,
Neat birthday story! You and books are like icecream and cake since you love books and work at a library. I love books too and was a library assistant in the 12th grade in 1965. My sister works at a middle school library in Gainesville, Florida. I am a card-carrying member of the Rising Sun, MD library. They had a book sale in 2007 and I bought a stack. I will be reading them for several years. I like your idea of looking on your home bookshelf–free books! Yay!!!
