Now I have a total desire to pirate books... I'm that frustrated.

I didn't want to pirate books until I spent a year of my life playing by the rules... Only to be slapped in the face by another publisher.

5 yo asked me why they put Beaver at the end of Justin's name,2yo is convinced Adele has a song called "Boomer has it". kids are awesome

I just caught Del with art she'd made with pictures cut from one of my magazines. "But I didn't cut from the running one, mom!"

Good news: I'm going to Romania! Bad news: I'll miss Trinona. I'm thinking I'm still coming out way ahead.

Can't keep up with purchasing Youth Media Awards

Hope's Harvest in Lake City never fails to charm me. They only have 1 type of bread today since "rabbit's on vacation" said apologetically

Might need to limit bloody Mary mornings to baby-left-me-sometime-in-the-night situations

Spending my afternoon playing the "how many eReaders can I charge at one time" game.

In 2 months, I'll wonder why I saved files to my desktop and am behind on e-mail. This is to remind me then that I'm not sloppy, just busy.

Ugh. How am I the last person to realize that Overdrive EPUBS ARE compatible with the Kindle devices. Grrr....

Jimmy Buffett on before Christmas? It's going to be a long winter...

Watching the annual PBS Nutcracker. Kids are totally enthralled. Fritz is naughty in this one! NY ballet has a different take.

Wait, there's a Turbo Dogs show on Qubo? How did I not know Turbo finally got his own show? No wonder he spends most of the day sleeping...

Well, found an upside to having an e-mail backlog. I can feel like I'm working even while waiting for parents to pick up PTA plants,

Amused by a poor patron who borrowed Breakfast of Champions and shortly later 101 Optimal Life Foods. Vonnegut probably not what they needed

The longer I work, the more I realize the statement "I don't even know what they do" says more about the speaker and less about the subject.

Of all the Black Friday ads coming through my e-mail right now, the B&B in the middle of nowhere, away from the shopping, sounds best.

why do I keep wearing my warm work sweaters home? I could use one right now.

I sort of miss the days when I outgrew clothing and the "should I keep it?" question was answered for me automatically.
