I'm at work this afternoon, but since it's the last day of finals for the semester, we're not very busy. Most of the questions we're getting are of the "Where do I return my books?" variety; nothing very challenging. We did have one Ask A Librarian email question this morning asking how to find a particular kind of psychology article, and that ( Read more... )

This morning we had our mid-pregnancy "big" ultrasound, and found out we're having another boy. So no shopping for girly stuff for me! :P (But I'll love another little boy just as much, and save $$ since we can re-use most of our existing stuff to boot!) Now we have to pick out a name ( Read more... )

Mother's Day sucked this year. Corwin was up too late Saturday night, and still awoke around 7:00 as usual on Sunday morning. So he was short a couple hours sleep, which led to him being a defiant pill to deal with all day. This made Andrew and me into grumps, too, which just generally doesn't make for a good day in our house at all. I made ( Read more... )

I had a really awesome day today. It totally feels like today was Saturday and not Friday, but then I have to work on Saturdays so not really. *shrug* It felt the way a good Saturday should feel? It was Andrew's first Friday off in about a month, so we got to spend lots of good family time together today ( Read more... )

Apparently I am not yet recovered from the stress of the rest of my weekend. I don't think I would have won any mommy awards today, though I think my frustration can be mitigated slightly be the fact that I am parenting a 2-year-old who hasn't gotten enough sleep lately and may be slightly sick to boot, and whose behavior was generally difficult ( Read more... )

Today I am happy because I found 12-packs of Coke and Barq's for $2.50 each at HEB. They were on sale 3 for $10, with a "buy 3, get 1 free" in-store coupon on top of that. Given that Coke has been $4.00+ for the last several weeks, this makes me very happy (and tempted to go back tomorrow to see if I can nab some more...if there is still any to ( Read more... )

My missing package arrived today. I was about to go call the post office (per Amazon's instructions) but decided to check outside first just in case, and there it was. This is a happy thing ( Read more... )

I'm having a stressball day. Glad I'm not doing the Week of Happy meme as I'd have a hard time finding something to feel happy about right now. On the other hand, maybe it would be good for me ( Read more... )

This is one of those days where I feel the need to post about my accomplishments. It'll probably be boring for most of you ( Read more... )
