A Wandering Eyre

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 [...]

IMG_0664 Originally uploaded by Wandering Eyre My morning was filled with the Wee Bairn and I driving all over town looking for the illusive St. Arnold Divine Reserve 8. I camped out at the Spec’s (a large local chain) before they opened this morning at 10. I was not the only one there and we [...]

I have felt a general restlessness of late, the origin of which I think stems form many things. Many of my librarian friends have been in Denver at Midwinter.

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 [...]

I am very humbled to be included in this list for 2008 from Library Journal. I love that some of my very favorite librarians are receiving this award and I can not believe I am on a list with them. Congratulations to everyone. May you all have continued successes and many blessings. If you are [...]

I know many of you are pondering this title. It is not Spring yet, you may say. I am still shoulder deep in snow! I have sad news for you Northern folks; It is Spring here in Texas. We have a “cold” front coming in later today and it will get as low as the [...]
