I don’t think this is what I am supposed to do with my new work web cam

I just got a new web cam for my office computer.  Really (no, really), I will use it for work purposes (IM reference w/video), but I spent some quality time today "testing" out the new technology…

Yes, we are THOSE kind of people

We bought a "pup" tent for Henry this weekend. Yes, it was from Ikea, and thankfully only cost $6.99, but we still bought a tent. For our dog. Who doesn’t like it much.

upended, not impressed

You know you’re a librarian when…

while composing a grocery list, you write "two boxes of serial…" instead of "cereal".

At least my "librarian moment" is cheap. Telfer’s resident moment today involved spending $131 on one book. When I think of how many books I could buy with $130…

In other, more important news, please continue to pray for Joncee Lenker (Keegan and Jayme too). A tough day for the Lenker family.

I am feeling more than a little bereft over finishing Harry Potter. Book 7 is everything I hoped for (in a very general sort of way – no specifics as Telfer will not appreciate them).

How I am Coping:

  1. My Harry Potter books needed owl bookends. The books looked so lonely without bookends propping them up on the overcrowded shelf. A trip to Barnes and Noble.
  2. Called Alyssa (who isn’t a fan) and wept a bit about feeling like a parent to Harry. I don’t think she was impressed.
  3. Set up a Harry phone date with Missy for tomorrow night.
  4. Sent in an entry to LibraryThing’s Harry Potter Book Pile Contest. Picture me, alone, in my back yard with all my Harry paraphernalia, taking pictures when our renter and two of her friends that I do not know walk through the gate. Yes, I am the crazy landlord.
  5. Looking up the name Hermione in the Baby Name Wizard (very addictive baby name web site) to see how popular it is. It’s not popular? Hmm…how much will a theoretical, unborn daughter hate me if I name her Hermione?
