You know, I've been in and out of keeping a journal all my life. I like the idea of spilling my guts to something but I just can't seem to stick with it. That doesn't stop me from buying endless amounts of blank journals, though. There's something about a blank page. Maybe it's the excitement of knowing the greatest work of art or the most insightful piece of literature could wind up on these pages. Who knows? Maybe I've just got some strange journal fetish.

My favorite place to buy journals lately has been Ex Libris Anonymous. In case you don't know (how could you not?), they use old book covers to make new spiral bound journals. A couple months ago I bought one that was called "Three Strong Women." Perfectly described my sisters and I! Ended up leaving it with my older sister when I visited Chicago. I bought one last month with the title of "Do It Yourself!" And I plan to keep this little gem all for myself! Now I just need to do something with it. They just recently came out with a new set of screenprinted books...I think I need a new journal.
