(from LibraryThing)
First off, I loooove the new book we just got in: Knitty Kitty by David Elliott. The illustrations of Christopher Denise make me sigh contentedly. The text, however, is a bit tricky if you are going to be reading it to a group of kids…
“Clickety-click.
Lickety-split.
Knitty Kitty sits and knits.”
Let’s just say that 3 out [...]

The good thing about having a few days off is that you can do silly things. Like this:

OK, this is a mini rant.
I had to make a quick run to the grocery store to buy a few items (ten or less!). There is only one (rather small) entrance into the store and it is automated. I grab a cart and head toward the door and find it open but entirely blocked [...]

WTF?! Do people really buy these things? And who can I give one to as a gag gift…hmmmm….
I love the inset picture of the woman puting that up her nose…complete with water dripping out the other nostril. Oh right, like she would be [...]

As a librarian, I just want to say that I will be very, very glad when all the Twilight mania is over (until the next movie adaptation in the series comes out). Right now, we are taking bets as to how long before the new illustrated movie companion books are stolen (my money is on [...]

This post reminds me of a joke from The Vicar of Dibley:
What’s brown and sticky?

I am finally getting around to editing the pictures from my short vacation trip. My sister and I went to Pokagon State Park and it was beautiful (even though the sled run wasn’t open). Well, except for the time it rained all day. And it was a cold, hard rain so it was not conducive to outdoor [...]
