...was a good book but I really liked the sequel "For Pete's Sake" better. These are the beginning of a new series by Linda Windsor who writes hilarious contemporary Christian fiction. But also speaking of wedding...my cousin Jackie is getting married tomorrow. She seems awful young to me but that is probably because I'm getting really old. I don't know her groom very well but from what I hear he comes from a very good Christian family.
Life continues as normal. I have a short vacation coming up and plan on doing some household repairs and improvements. I've been putting it off for a long time. I haven't been feeling sweet enough to do my 'honeydew' list. Life goes on, kids get older, I feel ancient, people I once thought were old now aren't, and summer will be here soon!

The new car...
...is driving fine. Someday I may even post a picture of me with my car. The funniest thing was going and buying a child seat. Since J & G are leasing my old car they needed their second set of car seats that I had been borrowing so we had to do the shuffle whenever I needed to take L to school.
Now I'm a single gal cruising around in my brand new Vibe, with a booster seat in the back. (so much for that image I never had!)
Life is going well, new library construction is still going slow but we are into some decision phases that will make a difference in how long it seems. I've read a couple of cool books lately. Amanda Quick and Iris Johansen have both released new titles and they were quick reads. I also found a new author Lisa Lutz who has 2 books our in her Spellman series about a family of private detectives. They are different but very enjoyable. Need some reading recommendations? You know where to go!

Home again...
...before the snow. A week long Public Library Association conference in Minneapolis can really wear a person out. It was a wonderful conference and definately counts as one of my 'out of the comfort zone' activities for the year.
There were 9,800 plus attenders registered for the conference and I really don't like crowds. I also don't like traveling in big cities. Fortunately I went with our library director and she did the city driving while I directed from the map. It was a good experience but I'm not sure I would make a habit out of it because it gets really expensive. I also wouldn't want to make the trip by myself. This trip was a graduation acknowledgment from the board for earning my MLIS degree.
We also took a day and went to the Mall of America to do some shopping and sight seeing. The really tough part is that between the traveling and conference meetings I'm still waiting to have a day off to do absolutely nothing. (It's been over 2 weeks now)
My headline refers to the fact that we had a nice sunny week in the Twin Cities and then after we left the got hit with 6 inches of snow.
