A Wandering Eyre

It is humid. The World Cup is on. Women in sensible shoes and cat vests are mingling with NextGens sporting tattoos and dyed hair, all vying for advance reader’s copies or a cold beer. It must be a librarian conference!
It has been a couple years since I was really in the swing of an ALA [...]

You jocks may seek to argue with me, but the class that taught me the most in high school was not Geometry, Chemistry, or even English (though that was my first love). The thing that taught me the most, the things I remember and use even now, was band and it was mostly due to [...]

As I batten down the hatches for the winter storm coming our way, I find myself thinking of things to do when stuck inside. Long have I loved curling on the couch, steaming tea in one hand and novel in the other. These days, I can only curl up in peace if the Bairn is [...]

I have realized that I put a lot of things on Twitter that I used to post in random posts here. I do not want to make all my tweets come here (how annoying is that all the time?), but I think I should try to put more of the random here for you, the [...]

My morning was filled with the Wee Bairn and I driving all over town looking for the illusive St. Arnold Divine Reserve 8.

I have felt a general restlessness of late, the origin of which I think stems form many things.

I finished Stone of Tears over the weekend and I was not disappointed. I have now officially become obsessed with getting my hands on these books and devouring them post haste.
I know I am obsessed because after finishing the second book, I went into mourning that it was over. I did not have the next [...]

I am convinced that the more pregnant you are, the more your brain can only focus on babies. I think, biologically, this prepares you for having to concentrate on a wee person’s survival for weeks. I mean years and years. What was I thinking?!
As a result of having what my more experienced friends call [...]

I have thoroughly enjoyed the small vacation of sorts that I have been taking the last month or so. I have immersed myself in the domestic needs of the Rochester household and concentrated on the business of gestating the child in my belly. I have not missed work, but I have missed being caught up [...]

In my last post, I was harsh. It is true. ITI, I still love you. You put on the best library conferences I have attended. Hands down. I will really miss Computers in Libraries and Internet Librarian this year. Our impending arrival will keep me homebound for awhile, but I hope to return when I [...]
