Tomorrow Steve has to spend the day in staff training. Apparently it is no longer called "multicultural education.". It must now be referred to as "education that is multicultural."

Steve just made a Punky Brewster joke so foul I can't even repeat it. I love that man.

Plumbing with toddlers, lesson 1:

When you have tried Drano, Drano Gel, and Drano Crystals, do not ask yourself "What on earth will cure this slow drain?!?". Rather, ask yourself "Where is my other bath glove?"

I picked up "Reading Lolita in Tehran" on a recent library trip. I don't know if it's just that I'm reading it on audio book or what but.. It's just not grabbing me.

For those who read it, is it worth sticking withand when might it start picking up? Or should I drop it off and move on?

Horrible accident on the way here, on the other side of the highway but enough to make me pause and take stock. I'm so lucky to have you all and I treasure every one of your little 100x100px selves.

Dear Library Thing Users,

Anyone have a barcode scanner they wouldn't mind loaning me for a week or so?

Love,
Mellies

So part of my plan lately is to remove excess stuff from my life.. And I'm staring at this wall of movies that I love but which takes up so much space.

Has anyone had any real success copying VHS movies to DVDs that will play in the DVD player and not just your computer? I know it should be possible, I've seen tons of conflicting how-to pages, I'm just looking for some real world confirmation.

Help?

I've been meaning to say something to those among us mourning, whether it be for mentors or family or icons of our youth (Patrick Swayze could have put me in a corner any day). I love you all so much, and now more than ever I'm glad we have each other.

If there is anything I can do, you know where to find me.
