Today I am happy because: Yesterday I went to Barnes and Noble. Oh my God, I LOVE BARNES AND NOBLE!
Not only did I get 6 new books, but I also got a gigantic, heavenly-tasting Cinnamon Dolce Latte from my good friend, Starbucks. AND I got a new sketchbook.
Many people own sketchbooks. Many people also do not. While I don't use my sketchbook on a daily basis, I do sometimes get the random urge to write something, or draw it, or draw out an idea, or just write what's on my mind. And it's always fun to look back at your good moments, and even the really bad ones from the sixth grade. Gosh, I didn't know anybody could draw THAT badly... And I was even trying!
The point is, the fact that there is a completely empty book at my complete disposal is a thought that brings excitement to my heart. It, in fact, makes me giddy, like a school girl in a candy store. OMYGODOMYGODOMYGOD SKETCHBOOK!
This sketchbook is also going to be my new journal, as my old one (who I lovingly called Summer, for Summer is my most favorite season), is falling apart, as I have had it for two years now.
My sketchbook is very simple, but sometimes simplicity is wonderously beautiful. SHUT UP, SPELL CHECK I DON'T CARE IF WONDEROUSLY ISN'T A WORD! Anyways... It is a pretty shade of solid turquoise and hardback. I pondered for a while on whether I was to call her (yeah... her... I know it's an inanimate object. DON'T JUDGE ME!) Sea or Sky, but settled on Sky because it is somewhat a name. I mean have you met anyone named Sea? Sky is somewhat a name, if not a hippie one.
SO that is the story of how I produced so much happiness from myself thanks to books.
Or maybe it was the latte....
Love Always
