I had a really fun day today exploring in my own state. Me and my sister and the twins went to Draper haha. Our first stop was an indie bookstore I’d never heard of until I searched for a bunch in Utah last year. It’s called The Book Box and it was a cute little store. Not huge, and not tons of books in stock, but a lot of newer stuff and I did buy one book. Then we just basically drove down 123000 S and went to a garden center called Cactus & Tropicals. I gave myself a new pot that looks like a stack of books for Christmas and so I needed a plant to fill it.
The next stop was to the Draper location of Gourmandise and we picked up some dessert to go. I got a slice of chocolate raspberry cake, which I ate for dinner and it was excellent. After the dessert stop, we went to a Mediterranean place for some wraps and falafel with hummus. It was an excellent choice.
Then we went to IKEA where we got the kids some food in their food court. By that time we decided not to do the showroom and went straight to the bottom section of the store. I ended up with way too many impulse items: duvet cover, organizer for my bathroom drawer, a new lamp and some small glass vases. I did not need any of it! I definitely need to clean out some stuff to donate now.
And on our way home, we stopped for milk tea. It was a very fun day and I got to cross another indie bookstore off my list. I can’t say I’m going to make a big day of all of them, but I really would like to try buying my books at local bookstores this year and then Barnes and Noble as the backup choice. I’m going to try to limit the books I get from Amazon to only kindle, and I don’t really need any of those.
Now I’m ready for bed. I have church at noon this year and while I don’t love it that late, I also won’t mind for a few weeks that I will have slow mornings on Sunday.
