I spent majority of my day in our office. I do kind of love it in here...but I don't love the stack of paperwork that we had let go...for months. I pretty much nailed it today though and even managed to dust some book shelves. I used to buy every single book I read; shunning the library. Then I'd hold onto the books like they helped define me. Well, they kind of do in a way, but then when we moved to England, I was forced to let go. I just couldn't justify keeping boxes and boxes of books. So our stacks are much lighter now and I'm doing a better job of checking books out from the library or borrowing from friends. I'm even getting better about gifting books I do buy to others when they are worth sharing (and most are).
For Christmas, I gave my mom, sister, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law the book, Waking Up White, by Debbie Irving. If you are a white Christian woman who has grown up in the U.S., I highly recommend this book. I think it's great for guys too; I just knew it would be perfect for the women I shared it with. I'm hoping to keep passing it on...but I've already given away my copy to a friend.
I'm going to check out from the office now. I've got an empty Spotted Cow beer in front of me and a pile of laundry waiting for me in my bedroom. Tomorrow beckons.
