Shopping Detox: Library Card

My dream home must only have one room:

I would LOVE a home library. Do you remember that scene in Beauty and the Beast when Beast gave his Library to Belle? I was in a swoon over that hairy creature. If you give me a library, you can be as hirsute as you like - just make sure it's you thats taking care of vacuuming. 

The dream of my own library (complete with big comfortable chairs and blankets) is a long ways off. But I do have books all over our current place. I love reading them, and I love buying them. We live pretty close to Kramerbooks & Afterwards, a local bookstore and D.C. staple, and I contribute a large amount to their monthly revenue. 

However, I've decided that its finally time for me to get a library card. It will allow me to grab as many books as I can carry home, and it will save me lots of money. I'll still buy books by authors that I truly love, or that have a special meaning for me, but I just can't afford to keep buying every crime thriller I want to read (that's a lot of them). 

P.S. I'd also love it if my dream library could have one of those tall ladders you can slide around on. Definitely going to need one of those. 

Non-Detox? Pretty Little Liars

So this post has mostly nothing to do any form of detox (unless you factor in that I like to watch PLL at the gym). BUT if you do need an entertaining show to convince you to spend a night in instead of a night out spending cash, Netflix just added the third season of Pretty Little Liars to its streaming content. I know this because they emailed my boyfriend (whose name/email is on the netflix account) and he was all "WHY would they tell me that Pretty Little Liars season 3 is available?" And I was all "MEEEEE! Because I clearly am NOT too old to watch a show about high school girls who melodramatically search for their dead best friend's murderer, Hanna's clothes are awesome, and Ezra would clearly be a pervert in real life, but I'm willing to suspend my disbelief in the interest of wonderfully bad television . . . I'll see you in twelve hours while I deplete every ounce of fantastically mindless goodness."

So this is really just a gift from me to you, if you haven't already discovered this show for yourself. You're welcome.
