it's a 40 thing!

Call me Old Fashioned!


I never thought this would be me, old fashioned!  I have used the term many many times to my MOTHER who is 85 years old & now I'm hearing this from my kids!  

I can't help it, I really like reading from a real book!  So if this makes me old fashioned then I guess I'm guilty!!  

I have an ipad and a tablet that I have read a few "books" on but it's just not the same!!  I NEED AN ACTUAL BOOK!!  I love the smell of a book!  I like holding it and actually turning real pages!  I like having a cute bookmark and I love seeing the book as decor on my nightstand!  Some of these reasons may seem silly but I guess that's just the old fashioned in me!  

I know I'm not the only one who likes reading an actual book.  I'm sure of it, right?  Just because my truly old fashioned 85 year old mother reads on her kindle doesn't mean everyone does this!!  Does it?!?  

I have also been told that writing an actual list is a no no!  Make a list on your phone, don't waste paper!  I try, I really really do but I love having cute writing pads & the perfect writing pen!  I love being able to cross my list off as I go!  I confess, once I'm done with the lists they usually end up in my purse or somewhere in my car which is not a good thing!  So I should probably try more to use the notes on my phone.  

Back to the book thing though.  I will forever as long as books are made buy an actual book!  Shelves always look good covered in books (designer tip)!  I would love to hear your thoughts about this subject...what makes you old fashioned??  -paula
