A typical weekend in the life of a children\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s librarian:<\/p>\n
– met my friend Gayle at Daniela\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s for a yummy dinner and catching up – decided to forgo El Presidente in favor of a Dos Equis (no need to put a DUI on my record)<\/p>\n
– watched \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Pursuit of Happyness\u00e2\u20ac\u009d after dinner<\/p>\n
– took a field trip to Hutchins Farm to buy some bedding plants (Hutchins has the best bedding plants anywhere – it must be their organic growing methods) and to revisit one of my favorite spots in the whole world, looking out over their fields towards the Concord River<\/p>\n
– ripped the vinyl siding off of the living room side of the house; or, at least, helped Jim rip it off and stack it<\/p>\n
– measured for a new living room window, and took a trip to Concord Lumber to order the window<\/p>\n
– weeded and mulched our perennial beds. Much as I dislike mulch, I hate weeding even more. Lesser of two evils.<\/p>\n
– had cocktails on our front steps, enjoying the soon-to-be-demolished view of the derelict building next door<\/p>\n
– took a walk down to the village, and made a spontaneous decision to go see \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Nerd\u00e2\u20ac\u009d at Theatre III (they did a great job, and it was a fun evening)<\/p>\n
– scoured the house and did the laundry; Mother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Day is next weekend, and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve invited Jim\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mom to brunch<\/p>\n
– paid those bills that have been sitting around<\/p>\n
– wrote this blog entry while getting my second migraine of the day (blame all typos and grammatical inconsistencies on my inability to see)<\/p>\n
– reading? Did I do any reading? Isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t that what a good children\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s librarian does in her free time? Hmmm, let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s see: I read the bills, and the playbill for \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Nerd,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and the bank statements; I read the Integrity by Marvin window catalog; and I read my reminder post-its stuck above the kitchen sink as I washed the dishes. As for books, can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t say that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve touched a book other than to dust around them. Life is so short, and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s really hard to sit still on the weekends to read a book when I sit still all day every day at work. Does that make me a bad children\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s librarian? I sure hope not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
