Well, have finished up things 7, 8, 9, and 10 and my evening is pretty well shot but who wants to do dishes anyway? Oh, almost forgot about the extra thing, did that too. In fact that's where a chunk of my time went. Joined Goodreads and spent quite a bit of time looking around there.
"I am simply a book drunkard: books have the same irresistible temptation for me that liquor has for its devotee. I cannot withstand them." L.M.Montgomery
This quote pretty much sums me up but I would have to add the phrase "and once I start a book I must read 'til it's finished." None of this 'read yourself to sleep', although many nights I have read myself awake 'til 3 or 4 A.M.

Forgetful me
Realised the other day when looking at Jo's blog that I had not done thing 3, and here I thought I had done them all. Well that will be fixed right now. Off to catch myself up ( was sick for a week so got behind) Stay away from those germs!!

Rambling thoughts
Why is it that I seem to be able to help other people get organised, but, when it comes to myself and my own clutter well that's just another kettle of fish all together. :( Sigh.
I've spent hours online reading articles and tips on how to get and stay organised, and have book marked so many sites that it's a wonder there's any memory left on here, but I sure don't seem to be able to apply them to myself. Oh, I have great intentions, but somehow that's as far as they get, just intentions and you know what they say about those.
Have I mentioned that I have a problem with procrastination? And get distracted. easily. It doesn't always have to be by something shiny either, sometimes it can be something as simple as a piece of paper or an idea that pops into my head.
Just spent some time on twitter. Learned how to un follow someone, and some of their definitions. Slowly increasing my knowledge bit by bit. Have been trying to add a picture here but am not having any success yet. I'm afraid it's going to take me much more than the allotted time for the 23 things. Doing something is easy,. It's the understanding part that takes me longer to process.

Spent the day at the hospital with my best friend and her husband. She's been feeling unwell and was having chest pains, so her doctor sent her by ambulance for some tests that couldn't be done locally. They ruled out a heart attack and let her come home but are pursuing other things, scheduling tests, trying meds. You know the drill.
I am thankful for answered prayer and I know that they are too, and I know that her family, friends & church family will continue to pray for her.
Tomorrow is pre school program at the library so it will be a busy morning. I think they'll like the craft that we're going to be doing, groundhogs in the library. I just glanced up at the calendar above my desk, guess it's time I changed it over to February since we're five days in.
Well, I'm off to gather up all my stuff that I need to take with me. G'night Gracie.

Deja vu?
Well that was an interesting start to the day! Our power went out at 2 A.M. and wasn't restored until approximately 1:30 or so this afternoon. That was a little to close to our Christmas experience to make most of us in this area happy you can be sure! :( Had it been weather related it might have been easier to take. This however was not! Seems it was caused by a person or persons (currently unknown I believe) who decided to break into the sub station and steal copper.
You would think that I'd have learned something from Decembers ice storm power outage. Actually I thought I had, I remember saying that I would never let dishes and laundry pile up again, well, this winter anyway. I'm a night owl, so was awake & working (playing ) on the computer when the power went off. My first thought was, "oh dear, I knew I should have done those 2 loads of laundry earlier in the evening". Then I looked over into my kitchen and saw my pile of dishes that I had left.
:( Nothing to be done about them now so I stoked up the wood stove and went to bed, praying that the power would be back on by the time I got up in the morning.
You know what I spent my morning doing don't you?
Not knowing just how long the outage would last, and mentally kicking myself, I heated some of our stored water on the stove and started washing dishes while the husband refilled the wood box. I had almost finished the job when the power came back on (2 pots left). Made lunch and promptly washed up lunch dishes and then refilled the bottles I had used previously. Doing laundry as I type this blog post. Would like to say I've learned my lesson, but in all honestly, I probably haven't. You see, I am a procrastinator. I always have good intentions but you know what they say about those.
Nothing library related in this post but I will say that once my laundry is finished I'm going to be starting a new book.

Random stuff
I think I just may have this figured out now. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? I freely admit that it probably took me longer to get this far than it did most of you. But hey, at least I'm here.
I'm a volunteer and a casual at Harvey Community Library. I volunteer two days a week and work when called in. I've been sitting here pondering what subject to write about and find my mind is jumping from one thing to another & not settling on anything specific so I'm just going to jump in. Have you ever looked at a book or movie title and subconsciously added extra letters. My example will be Downton Abby. From the first time I heard of this until just recently I was convinced that it was Downtown Abby, my mind just automatically added that extra W in. I know that I've done this with other titles too but none are coming to mind just now.
Having attended a church financial committee meeting this afternoon (still need to type up my notes) and time spent figuring this blog process out, my brain is a bit fried, so I'm going to let this stand as my first blog post and say "goodnight Gracie".
