No Shame In My Game
I had a euphoric moment when I realized that I didn't have to spend hundreds of dollars on books--every other week. I could check them out at the library. At first I resisted it, even talked myself out of it. I mean, if you have kids it makes perfectly good sense or if you're a student, I could see it. But to avoid spending money at the bookstore, well, that's rather cheap. When I figured out how much money I would save though, I marched myself right into the library and got myself a library card, just like I did when I was in elementary school.
Now I have a library obsession. Unless I want to peruse through endless magazines, for free, which I still prefer to do at Borders, in the cafe with a nice tasty coffee beverage, I don't even need to look around. I have my books held for me by reserving them on the internet at home. So every couple of weeks I check Amazon.com's new and future release list and put anything that interests me on the list. Then the nice people at the library get it from the shelves or ship it in from wherever and hold it for me behind the counter.
It really is one of the best things I've done for myself. No more shame spending hard earned money on books and magazines.

The only thing that could be better is if they delivered and picked up my dry cleaning on the way.
