one of my fave rituals of moving into a new town is signing up for a library card. i've adopted the South Broadway branch as my library home because it's a beautiful light-filled space with a small atrium for rotating art exhibits. today i wandered the stacks, passing over Idiot's Guide to Designer Dogs and How to Build Your Own Robot. instead, i checked out:
Lanterns: A Memoir of Mentors by Marian Wright Edelman
Beauty and the Soul: The Extraordinary Power of Everyday Beauty to Heal Your Life by Piero Ferrucci
Safekeeping: Some True Stories From a Life by Abigail Thomas
Now Is the Time to Open Your Heart by Alice Walker
i also went grocery shopping. here's what i got for $31.20:
2 bottles Santa Cruz organic lemonade
2 bags kettle chips
2.54 lb peaches
1.98 lb grapes
1 loaf, La Brea whole grain bread
2 lb baby carrots
1 rotisserie chicken (on sale for $3.99!)
i could really get used to the cost of living here.
