Sold a few more books, and bought some too

June 15th, 2005 at 01:09 am

I've sold another 2-3 books in the past week, two of which went for $10 each. It's nice to clear out my shelves and get a little bit of money for it at the same time. I've got two or three bags of clothes that need to go to a thrift store. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow, while I'm out to mail the book. I think I might take DD to the zoo tomorrow. We have season passes, but it's been a few months since we've been.

Dinner tonight is premade green chile and cheese tamales, with some rice and beans. I found the tamales in the freezer - forgot I'd bought them and was pleasantly surprised to see them in there.

I splurged at Barnes and Noble yesterday - three books to read aloud with DD, plus a Usborne book comparing world religions, and a gift card for DD's ballet teacher. I think I spent about $70.

Did I mention that DD has been accepted at the private school? The contract is being sent to us this week. What a mental shift this will be for me, going from years of thinking about and planning for homeschooling, to gearing up for a school, and a private school at that. I hope it's a good thing for DD. I think that it will be (obviously, or else we wouldn't do it).

    What is the Usborne book like? I've been looking for a pretty simple explanation of the differences not only among world religions, but the differences within Christianity (Catholicism, Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist, etc.). Please let me know if you like this book and think it's what I'm looking for. Thanks.

    As far as going over the world religions, it looks like a great resource. Within the section on Christianity are short segments discussing early Christianity, the Reformation, Luther, Calvin, the Counter-Reformation, the Church of England, Methodism... it looks like it touches on many of the differences you mentioned.

    The title is The Usborne Internet-Linked Encyclopedia of World Religions. (ISBN 07945 0182 6)
