bookshelf

i forgot to blog about this last week. i built a bookshelf last week! i had wanted a shelf for the kitchen to put our cookbooks and gardening books since i'm running out of room in my library upstairs. L and i were talking about ideas and looking at furniture pieces and nothing quite fit the rather ordinary 1' x 2' x 3' space. in an attempt to surprise L, i swung by lowe's on the way home, got the necessary materials, and began building the bookshelf. L helped me after she got home and i had a bad cramp in my arm the rest of the week from holding the spray can nozzle down for just 5-10 straight minutes. ouch! all of my 'squatting & bending' muscles were sore for the next couple of days as well. somebody needs to walk more or something!!

oh yeah, speaking of books, if you'll look to the left, there's a new link to a pic of the books i ordered for my birthday. many were used and many had been on my amazon list for quite a while. oh, and speaking of my amazon list, i went to the seminary library this past saturday and checked out around a dozen of the books that have been on my list for quite a while. if any are really good resources, i'll add them back to the amazon list.
