C and I visited the new branch of our library system here in Savannah today. As I told my mom later, it was kind of like going to a bookstore; a new library apparently means all new books! Too bad I got my bag full of booky goodness and then realized I’d left my card at home. Sigh…
In honor of public libraries and the awesome Geek the Library campaign, I present to you, as a part of Top Ten Tuesday, 10 things I geek:
1. Natural childbirth – If I can do it, anyone can. God designed women’s bodies to give birth (among other things, of course).
2. My little boy – I mean, look at that face…can you blame me?
3. NPR – I wish I could have dinner with Lynne Rosetto Kasper, Garrison Keillor, Ira Glass, and Terry Gross. Lynne can cook it, though…I’d be way too intimidated to do it myself.
4. The Mommy Blogosphere –I needed something e lse to keep me glued to the computer. Otherwise, I might to something crazy, like, oh, clean the house.
5. Natural personal care products – Parabens, phthalates, and sodium lauryl sulfate scare me. If I can’t pronounce it, I don’t think I want to rub it on my skin.
6. Organic whole milk – First, it just tastes wonderful. (Bonus points if it’s raw or at least non-homogenized.) Second, do you know how reduced-fat milk is made?
7. Word games – I go through phases with crossword puzzles and Scrabble. Hubby and I can get pretty cutthroat!
8. SOLE food – I’m far from perfect (says the girl who had Chick-fil-A for lunch today…oops), but I’m buying more and more Sustainable, Organic, Local, and Ethical food.
9. Gardening – I’m neither consistent nor terribly productive at gardening just yet, but ever since we closed on our first house early this year, I’ve read obsessively about growing food and made several attempts.
10. Breastfeeding – See #1. The breastfeeding rate is finally going up in the U.S., but there are a lot more social barriers to be removed.

Your turn – what do you geek?
We have SO much in common, Kelly! I particularly “geek” #1, #4, #5, #6, and #7.
Have you played Boggle? So.Much.Fun.
Also: we only buy organic whole milk around here. Thanks for posting that link about how reduced fat milk is made…yuck!
And natural childbirth is amazing. Indescribable, actually. I’ve done it twice…and I’ll likely do it again. Despite the pain, I’m almost looking forward to it. Crazy-sounding, but true.
I’ve played the Facebook ripoff of Boggle. In other word game geekery news, I got Super Scrabble for Christmas…as if hubby and I needed another excuse to get nothing done around the house.
