D and I are off to Aruba in just a few hours and so I won’t be posting for a bit, but I thought I’d leave you with something to listen to.
Check out Vagiant, four rockin’ girls from Boston. They remind me of The Distillers; in fact I thought it was Brody Dalle singing […]

So it’s true - I got myself a new job which I will be starting next week. Yes, I will still be a librarian but I will no longer be working in a public library. Instead, I will be the school librarian at my old high school. I hadn’t even been looking […]

Remember the post I wrote about a month ago about the crazy questions and comments that people have when I tell them that I am a librarian? Well, a librarian at the University of Connecticut Health Center linked to my post on the UCHC blog. Woot Woot!
She also included other cool links regarding […]

D and I watched The Beach today. The movie was really interesting and the cinematography was absolutely gorgeous. The movie is set in Thailand, mostly on a beautiful secluded island off the coast of Thailand, but it starts off in the clamor and chaos of Bangkok. Watching this film made me want to […]

D: You’re cute.
Me: Thanks. You know, I’m always going to be the cute one. You better start making some big money soon ’cause that’s about the only thing you have going for you.
D: Ha ha…Smart ass.

No, I haven’t been kidnapped, but Thursday night D and I went upstate with a couple of friends to where we did not have Internet access. That’s right, no Internet access from Thursday night to Sunday night. I thought I’d be itching to check my e-mail but I was too busy having fun […]

Years ago, when I had finished college, I went to Australia for just over 2 months. Several times a week I would go to the library in Melbourne to write and check emails. Mainly the emails were from D and Ultra, and I printed them all out. I still have them in […]

When I’m filling out a form and there is a space for “Sex”, I am so tempted to write “Yes Please”. But then I remind myself that the person processing my form will probably be lacking a sense of humor. And I definitely won’t be laughing when my health insurance application is denied.

Most days at work I feel more like an IT person than a librarian. Not to toot my own horn but I probably do know more about computers than the rest of my colleagues simply because I am married to a computer geek and have managed to absorb a thing or two via osmosis. […]

Today my parents celebrate their 34th wedding anniversary. They have been each other’s best friends longer than I am alive, and I suspect that they are still as much in love today as they were on their wedding day. They are one of those rare couples that are simply meant for each other.

Throughout […]
