Books

I love boks. It’s not just because I love words and reading (I’d just get audio books then). I love the feel of the paper, the look of a full bookcase, the illustations on covers, and the heaviness they add to my bag when I travel. Matt and I probably buy fifty books a year (each) and check out twice that many from the local library. We check out books on cooking (for him), crafts (for me), and travel (for both of us) though we tend to buy cookbooks, history books, and crappy suitable-for-airplane-reading material (ok, that’s mostly me on that last one).

Blue

I’ve always been a fan of the color blue but Matt’s to blame for it becoming my obsession. When we first started dating he pointed out I owned a lot of blue shirts. I said it was because I have blue eyes and a blue shirt really makes them pop. Soon he would always point out when something came in blue and I found myself buying more and more blue things.

I have only four blue shirts now but I still prefer to write in blue ink and won a blue journal, car, china, drink cup, and lots more I can’t think of at the moment.
