everybody's entitled: April 2010
http://grandmotherdearest.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 20, 2010. My Library group (including me) is suffering from Founder's Syndrome. Those of us who have been there since the beginning of our grassroots effort to make a library happen in our community are having to hand it off to others. And it's hard. There are some of us, however, who can't accept the transition from day to day leadership to a more auxiliary role and are complaining to everyone within earshot that the "letter was too long" "the membership categories were not complete" "the...

everybody's entitled: February 2010
http://grandmotherdearest.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 17, 2010. Our generous landlord has allowed us to have the 3,500 square feet across the hall for storage, story time and room to breathe! It's very exciting - they are having the carpet stretched today (very wavy). If I can figure it out I'll post pictures. It will make a huge difference in our Book Sale stuff, not to mention having space for the staff to sit at an actual table to eat lunch! The snow is just about all melted and the sun was out, but not really warm. We're finalizing p...

everybody's entitled: September 2010
http://grandmotherdearest.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 17, 2010. I remember reading years ago about how French women shop every day for food for that night's meal and thinking - that's just insane. I had a weekly calendar of every child's schedule and shopped once a week, planning for leftovers. Some days, with soccer, volleyball or gymnastics practices, I just planned for McDonald's or Wendy's - knowing I couldn't get home to cook those nights - and if I did go to the effort, it was wasted.

everybody's entitled: Snow day
http://grandmotherdearest.blogspot.com/2011/02/snow-day.html
Tuesday, February 1, 2011. I can't remember another snow day when I actually haven't stepped outside. I did think about taking Lexie down the alley, but the side door steps are covered in about an inch of ice and I chickened out. However, it's been a good day to clean out the bathroom drawers - I filled 5 or 6 plastic bags with half-used and disliked shampoo and lotion bottles, old medicines (thank goodness for expiration dates! And junk I should have thrown away months (years) ago. Audio Books I Like.

everybody's entitled: October 2010
http://grandmotherdearest.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 17, 2010. Texas v. Nebraska. We went to the game expecting the worst. After all, we'd suffered through Texas - OU. But 1) Omaha is nice. We toured Boys Town (remember the Spencer Tracy/Andy Rooney flick? If not, watch it when you can) and the Durham Museum, which is in the old Union Pacific Train Station, when they knew how to build a train staion. 2) the fans before and after the game were unbelievably nice.

Thursday, April 14, 2011. We're at the Mariott Copley Place in Boston for the ABA. Nice room - not very big, but it's big enough. I asked specifically for a room with a bathtub, since the last two hotels booked us in rooms with only a shower. Don't most people like to loll in the tub and read? The hotel doesn't have in room coffee, a makeup mirror, or bathrobes, but they asked about newspaper delivery (and not just USA Today). No Boston Herald except in the gift shop. Mariott Copley Place - Boston. Anyth...

everybody's entitled: Americans for Disability Act
http://grandmotherdearest.blogspot.com/2011/03/americans-for-disability-act.html
Tuesday, March 8, 2011. Americans for Disability Act. I've been sort of scornful of some of the uses the ADA has been put - like the stripper in the wheelchair who couldn't get work. However, since I've been the mainstay of my brother who is in a wheelchair I've had an awakening. Really - don't park in those handicapped places. Even if it's "just for a minute while I run in", it's not cool to take one of those spots. This is especially important since I just got a Handicapped tag for my car. And finally,...

Thursday, December 30, 2010. Did you know you can take a package to Target (the SuperTarget on Abrams - maybe others) and mail a package? It's the NEW POST OFFICE! Take your package, put in on the scale, tell the machine the size, put in the zip of the destination, swipe your credit card, print the postage and VOILA! No standing in line watching clerks chew gum! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I Love my kids, go figure. Vacation fail and general other things. Audio Books I Like. Me Talk Pretty Someday.
