  1. Week 4 of library move - every muscle/bone in body hurts big time - we open to public April 19 - looking forward (NOT!) to 12-hour day :)
  2. I worked five hours @ Atascocita Library on Sunday & scored five hours off Thursday; only have to work 8-11 a.m.; then my holiday begins...
  3. Moving into new library building too exhausting/overwhelming for words; jury duty was actually a v. nice break; civic duty CAN be fun :)
  4. Jury duty today - Harris County criminal court - usually I SO dread, but today it was like a get-out-of-school pass...
  5. My hands are so stiff and sore from hefting hefty books that I can't knit - time to file for disability - yeah, sure :)
  6. Week 2 of library move - may I just say ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!! Never thought boxes 'n boxes of new books would make me cringe :(
  7. @MissK68 I need a book w/VERY simple knitting patterns for baby blankets/hats/sweaters - can you recommend one?!
  8. @MissK68 Hope you're having good luck @ your event today!
  9. @MissK68 My week has been from hell, too. It's a good thing I'm off Fri/Sat/Sun - I'm having hard time keeping mouth shut!
  10. @MissK68 Bite Me - LOL! I remember those days - sounds like "voluteer" is still another word for kick me :(
  11. @asimplefabulous Snack @ lunchtime. Lunch @ snacktime. I have a solution for everything :)
  12. Their cabin in the woods is gonna be TOTALLY pink-afied :) GRANDMA RULES!
  13. Nick/Jill requested all baby "stuff" to be the color of poop/spit up...yeah, sure...that's SO not happening especially if baby is a GIRL!
  14. Bought first baby book, baby clothes and baby blankie/rattle - too cute - a little elephant head attached to a tiny blankie - yesterday!
  15. Nick/Jill will find out if they're having a boy or girl in about 6 weeks.
  16. Okay...it's official...I can now reveal the BIG NEWS...on or about Sept. 13, 2010 I will become a grandmother...yippee!!!
  17. @asimplefabulous Watch DVD of a TV series and the story arc/character development comes alive.
  18. @asimplefabulous I saw those pancakes on CBS Sunday Morning, too...yum!
  19. I'm really liking Olay Pro-X and Regenerist serums/creams/cleansers.
  20. Love "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter w/o Me" by Paula Begoun - good advice on products worth/not worth the $$$
