Still Here

I promise, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth! The past week has just been so busy and exhausting.

I spent all day Friday at my day job, then went straight to a craft show for the evening, followed by a drink and some nachos at Loopers with one of my best friends.

Did a whole bunch of gardening all day Saturday, and my husband got home from his road trip that night, had sushi for dinner because we were both too tired to cook.

Got a little relaxing in on Sunday, spent the evening at Glen's parents' house, but before and after that I had to run errands. Had to pick up jewelry stuff, painting stuff and people food, and I finally painted the trim around the side door in our dining room.

In addition to my regular work schedule, I had a band rehearsal Monday night and spent last night at the Wardell for the comedy open mic.

And tonight I'm working at the library til 9. Apparently the library is the place to be tonight. The computers are full and I've been getting a ton reference questions in person and over the phone.

Nights like tonight make me especially upset that Gov. Christie is proposing such deep cuts in the library budget. So seriously, if you live in NJ and want your library to keep internet access, interlibrary loans and electronic databases, contact the governor to oppose the extent of the cuts. You can learn more and contact your Representative here.

On a less serious note, how fun is this chair??

I really want to get some of them to use as extra chairs in our dining room, since the folding chairs we use as spares right now aren't terribly attractive. But I don't know if I can bring myself to spent $100 a piece for chairs that wouldn't even be used very frequently. Perhaps I'd be better off scouring thrift stores in search of a better deal... Decisions, decisions...
