Sunday, April 28, 2013. Can a Book Get You Organized? Recently while browsing the new book area at my library, I noticed a remarkable number of books on organizing, de-cluttering and cleaning. I browsed through a few of them and found them to be generally.silly. Tips included the following: donate anything you don't need (stating the obvious in my opinion), buy pretty storage boxes (so the junk you keep looks better? And out of sight, out of mind (the motto of a hoarder for sure). Labels: Home and Nesting.

Lively Librarian: "Rushing" into Life
http://livelylibrarian.blogspot.com/2013/11/rushing-into-life.html
Saturday, November 9, 2013. My son was initiated into his fraternity Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI) at the fraternity headquarters in Lexington Kentucky over the weekend. Transitioning from the military to college has been a challenging but exciting time for him. During his first semester he has maintained an excellent GPA, joined his fraternity and settled into a new life in a new state. I'm incredibly proud of him. Posted by Shannon Distel Scanlan.
