#275 in line at the library

June 21st, 2007 at 10:32 pm

I forgot that Janet Evanovich's new book Lean Mean Thirteen came out recently. So I went onto my library's website to request it. I'm #275 in line to get the book. However, the total Delaware public library system has about 67 copies of the book. So hopefully, I'll be able to get my copy within a month or so.

I've also been putting myself on the library wait list for a lot of movies. I have a pretty varied taste, but the library has a good selection. Just to name a few that I'm in line for: Blood & Chocolate, Because I Said So, Breach, Epic Movie, NCIS Season 1, and The Pursuit of Happyness.

I've been kinda lost the last few days. Spending more than I like, when I need to reign myself in. So I am going to make some changes. I have been saying that for awhile, but I really need to hold myself accountable.

Also, there's some things I've been wanting to do around the house that I'm either going to put off for awhile or do myself. There's some terrible bramble bushes in between some trees at the end of my property. I was hoping to hold off & get a professional to get in there & haul the stuff away. But now I"m thinking of doing it myself. Maybe do a bit at a time.

In other news, its been really hot and humid here, so being without a/c has been very uncomfortable. We seem to have a break in the humidity tonight, so I'll be able to sleep comfortably.

Monday is the A/C installation day. Its my normal day off, but I usually go in for overtime. So the game plan is to meet the workers myself and about 10am my mom will come over to be around while they're there & I'll head into work for some overtime. This week, I'll have worked 21.5 hours. Next week, probably about 15.5 hours due to a meeting & doctors apointment that I have scheduled.

AND... I heard back from that home improvement store that I had such problems with. The manager of the store that I visited called to get some more information about the situation. He will be calling me back tomorrow. I'll keep you all updated with what happens. I have to share that I was all flattered because he told me that my letter was very well written. I'm so glad I waited until I had calmed down a bit before writing and mailing it.

    We got Lean Mean Thirteen in the office at the beginning of the week but I've decided to wait until the book on CD comes in to listen to. I just love to listen to the narrator. She does a great job with the characters, but especially Lula and Grandma Mazur.

    holy waiting period. I've read and listened to some of her books but I'm not that compelled to read anymore. Not sure why either. I adore JD Robb though (under all her names)

    On those brambles...are they really brambles, aka blackberries or raspberry? Cus if they were i would keep them and enjoy the berries on your breakfast cereal.

    Maybe they're actually barberry, in which case, good riddance. Just wear some work gloves, and start by trimming off the brances at about 6 inches high, then it will bemuch easier to take a shovel and dig the thing up.

    Fern, they're definately not berry bushes. I'm not too familiar with garden stuff, so I don't know the terms well, but they have stickers and they scratch up my arms when I get near them when mowing the lawn. I didn't even think of digging them up, but yep, thats what I'm going to have to do. I figure I'll start with trimming them back then dig em up. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it!
