No AC!

Soooo...our AC broke...and since we are now proud home owners we get to deal with it all by ourselves...yay.  This wouldn't be to bad as a) I really like the windows open and b)  I pay the electric bill, but it's been in the upper 90's plus humidity. Normally I would just run away to the fire station...but the AC is out in the bunk rooms.

Melting Book

Just how hot is it?  Well everything is melting...especially me!  Plus side is that reading does not require a whole lot of energy (technically neither does studying...but who wants to do that) so if you need me I will be stuck to my couch with a pile of books and ice...or at the bookstore...cause you know...AC.   Happy Reading Everybody!

Soaking It All In

I LOVE a good bath.  I love being immersed in hot water with the perfect seasonal bubble bath, sipping a beverage and of course reading a good book.  Unfortunately I have been spoiled rotten at my old house and the bathtub at our new house is just not up to my exacting standards.   Lucky for me, we own this house and can upgrade!  Here are some epic tubs that I am looking at to enhance my soaking experience

Claw Foot Tub

I have a thing for these old fashioned claw foot bathtubs.  In fact on our Great Redwood Trip, one of the awesome parts was soaking in a tub like this.

Kyoto Ofuro Soaking Tub

Seriously though, there is nothing not to love about this tub!

Dark Patina Tub

This totally looks like something straight out of a book...I want it

Copper Bath

I love the borderline medieval feel of this tub...now I just need some fine strapping lads to fill it for me...

Steampunk Tub

Seriously we are probably gonna do the bathroom in a steampunk theme...so this is pretty much perfect.

Obviously the options for tubs are pretty much limited only by our imagination and budget.  I seriously can't wait until I have a tub that fits my soaking/reading needs.  Happy Reading Everybody!

Bookshelfish

I'm out of bookshelf space again and the books are stacking up in random places.  I told the Hubbin that I was gonna get new book shelves and he called me bookshelfish...this may have something to do with the fact I keep moving his books off the shelves to make room for mine, but in my defense mine are WAY prettier.  The other issue we have is that I may be out of traditional wall space for new shelves, so here are some space saving book storage ideas that may help me and possibly you out.

Expandable Bookshelf

This bookshelf can expand as I buy new books...It's like a dream come true!

Bookwave

This bookshelf can hang anywhere so wall space is no longer an issue

Elastic Bookshelf

A perfect morphing design to squeeze in anywhere I can find a bit of space

Bookshelf Door

Not only is this practical (I have at four doors I could do this to), but you have the added bonus of instant secret door of awesome!

Sapien Bookshelf

This super stackable shelves essentially fit anywhere you can find a spot...I can imagine my house becoming a forest of these things.

Alrighty, now I have tons of idea's to counter my sweet Hubbin when he tries to tell me we are out of room...and if he is a bit less shelfish MAYBE I'll even give him his own book case...if he gets some better looking books.  Happy Reading Everybody!!!!

Book Hoarder

I DID IT!!!!!!  I didn't think I could get it done, but I did.  I reorganized my entire book collection. It is now uniforminzed (still a real word).

It took some rum, some patience, and some extra bookshelves, but it is done.  I will post "after" pictures in a little bit, but I'm a wee bit exhausted.  Now off to read all my newly discovered books!
Happy Reading Everybody!
