Becky Day 17: Rain Rain, Go Away!

It has just been pissing rain (as they say in Ireland) all week, and it sucks. Also, as I mentioned before, the school I work in is FREEZING! Despite my cardigans, I'm still cold...may be time to break out the fleece.

It seems, to reflect Caroline, that fall has turned here in Vermont, as well. There's just enough of that nip in the air (when it's not raining) to hint that summer's over. Which is awesome, because Vermont in the fall rocks my socks.

Today:

Items worn (I realized I've forgotten to do this for a couple days):
Black work pants
Black socks
Teal peasant top
Black cardigan
Black slip-in Mary Janes

I've also been reading this blog about becoming a minimalist. This blog scares the crap out of me, and I'm not ready to take most of these steps. But I can see how what we're doing is leading up to this kind of mentality, which makes me stoked. I was thinking yesterday about the number of books Andy and I have. Like, a million:

Ok, so one of those shelves is DVDs, but the others are books, and you can't even see all of two of the shelves, which are big. I was considering what life would be like if we got rid of all the books and just went to the library. It was kinda of a sweet thought, especially when I remembered moving all those books this July (barf on my face, moving). I'm not sure I'm ready to part with them, but the fact that there is appeal to the idea is a big step forward, and something I'm thinking pretty seriously about, to some capacity.

Just one example of getting exasperated with my things, but a big one, because these particular things take up a lot of space in our home.
