I have a free night tonight, it’s my time and it’s for me only, and I get to do whatever I want.

Sometimes, I love getting together with girlfriends for dinner and drinks, and maybe a comedy club or a wine bar later on.  Sometimes, I love to go to the show or the movies.  But right now, I just want to immerse myself in shelf after shelf of books at our local Borders bookstore. 

I’ll be getting some coffee first (White Chocolate Mocha, please), and walking around in as many sections as possible.  From crafts, to DIY home improvement, to metaphysical topics and speculative UFO and consipracy books, to right-wing and left-wing political talking heads, to Native American history, to gay/lesbian fiction, to romance novelists, to self-help, to religion/philosophy, and to economics/marketing/money management.  I am so far realizing my karma as someone who is so attached to acquiring information in print form.  And tonight, I am soooo indulging in that attachment, too.

Financially, it probably is better if I would use my library card more often (I do have one in my purse!).  I guess once the library starts serving coffee, then I’ll be more motivated to go there.  But until then, it’s Borders or Barnes and Noble for me.

Maybe I’ll hit them both tonight.  Go Thalia!!!
