I turned 37 on Friday and I just have to tell you all about how I celebrated (books, books, and more books!) 🎉
I had a busy week at work, but on Friday night my husband and son surprised me with two beautiful flower bouquets and the sweetest card before dinner at Bridges in Danville. It’s a dinner tradition at this point – we love the fact that the “Help is on the way!” dinner scene from Mrs. Doubtfire was filmed there.
On Saturday morning, I went on 3.7 mile walk to celebrate 37 years. Then I hit up the Friends of the Danville Library Book Sale! They always have such a great selection. Mark your calendar for the next one on July 25th!
I ended up buying 3 books for myself and asked my son if he was interested in any of the middle-grade books.
He is very into the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. They were $4/each so it was a good deal!
On Sunday, I celebrated East Bay Bookshelf turning 2! Thank YOU for reading and subscribing!
I received a Bookshop.org gift card and ordered a book that’s been on my TBR: Go Gentle by Maria Semple. (I’ve read and loved her other 3 books.) My order supported Rakestraw Books in Danville! I love that you can select an independent bookstore to support!
Some other fun ways I celebrated 37 years:
- Wrote for 37 minutes without stopping (honestly, not that difficult for me!)
- Read 37 pages in one sitting (more difficult for me, I prefer audiobooks!)
- Selected 37 items in my house to donate or throw away (I found stuff fairly quick)
- Created a 37-minute playlist of my favorite songs (getting it to be exactly 37 minutes is more difficult than you might think!)
How do YOU enjoy celebrating your birthday?
