Still Alive

Happy New Year!

I know, I'm terrible at this. It's funny, because I've been too busy to write anything but I haven't felt like I have anything terribly interesting about which to write!

Still no definite news on the house. SUPPOSEDLY we should hear something nexted week. But then again, we were originally supposed to hear something on December 15, so I don't know if I believe that. We're planning to look a few back-up houses on Sunday. We'd really like to know what's going on by the end of the month.

It's been a busy couple of weeks, socially speaking. On December 20, I got together with college friends for what was supposed to be our book club. But none of us finished the book in time. Oops? On Christmas Eve the husband and I invited our parents over for drinks and snacks, and the following day we made the rounds and had 2 Christmas dinners. The day after Christmas we braved the mall. Saturday the 27th was my annual Christmas dinner with my girlfriends from high school, and the next afternoon we had a get-together that included babies and husbands. I spent last night up at a cabin in the Poconos with my husband, one of my college roommates and a whole mess of other people, and now I'm going to be heading over to another friend's house. I feel like such a social butterfly! Pictures will hopefully be up on Picasa and/or Facebook tonight or tomorrow.

Also, in library-related news, we had an interesting incident when I was working at the library this past weekend. I was in the children's room and the incident happened in adult reference, but from what I understadn it involved a patron making a big scene over a teenager looking at "pornography" on the libraries computers (I put "pornography" in quotes because from what I heard it was a webpage that had a picture of a girl in a bikini, but was not in any way sexually explicit), loudly and rudely criticizing the parenting skills of the teenager's mother, informing the staff at the circulation desk that she was going to report us to the newspaper and storming out.

Gotta love when stuff like that happens. It keeps things interesting.

Right?

Okay, it's actually just really annoying.

I'm off. Hopefully there will be news on the house next week, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
