Book haul – welcome to the world! Shawshank, January 15, 2021 Hey book nerds! Just wanted to share a quick book haul. But get this, the books are not for me this time! They’re for my baby nephew, E. as an aunt and uncle, we’re trying to get things for the kids that have nothing to do with screen time. Board games, card games, and LEGO. that’s the kind of aunt and uncle we are. Well baby E came in to this world a couple months back, and for his first present, we’re getting him books. Books are awesome, and I hope he grows a love of books like Crystal and I. Until next time book nerds!

Lockup Library Just built! Show me your shelves! Do eet! January 16, 2021January 16, 2021 Hey book nerds! Before I went to SlightlyBiggerTown, mom suggested I look in the local hardware stores to find some shelves for my books. I had a stack of books, up to my hip on the floor because they wouldn’t fit on my shelves. As I was waiting for my… Read More
Lockup Library Book post – show me your shelves! May 27, 2021 Good morning books nerds! I hope everyone is having a great week so far. Over the weekend, I fell back into that familiar spot – I was just looking at my book collection, and feeling pretty good about it. Now, I’m hoping that you’ll show me your shelves! I always… Read More
Lockup Library I don’t want to be buried in a pet cemetery August 26, 2020August 26, 2020 In an effort to prolong this glorious read, I labeled all the inserts and pulled them out of the book. Then, I did what I’ve been known for (in order to prolong House of Leaves, I re-read it 4 or 5 times before I finished it); I started Ship of… Read More
I have handrails. People showed up yesterday, but not until around 10:15 am. I texted our agent at 10:30 and told her “there’s two cars outside, they showed up about 10-15 minutes ago and they have yet to start, I’m going grocery shopping.” I’m not sure what time they actually started work, but I assume it was after the appraiser has been through. When I came home about 90 minutes later, they were still working on the back steps. They eventually moved a couple of guys into the basement stairway to install the rail in there, while another guy fucked with the rail in the front. FrontYard Guy almost disassembled a handrail that didn’t need to be installed. Eventually he decided not to fuck with the railing and just repair the cracked walkway instead. However, for all the trouble involved, I didn’t pay for any of it, and it’s finished. One less thing to deal with. And if the sale falls through, then we have handrails and scraped paint and a radon test all taken care of for the next person. Today is a “birthday parade” for one of my nephews. Naturally, we’re in the middle of a nasty rainstorm. And just because my life wouldn’t be complete without some sort of issues, the Amazon order with half of his presents didn’t show up yesterday. Amazon emailed me yesterday to let me know the delivery date is now today or tomorrow. I doubt that it will arrive in time, so I cancelled the delivery, but of course that’s not a guarantee it won’t show up anyway. If it shows up before I leave this afternoon, awesome. If not, I’ll stop at Walmart on the way down to my sister’s house. Hopefully the rain will move out before the birthday parade. But wait, there’s more! I also picked up a small book haul for my new nephew, who I’ve only ever seen on Facebook. I promised my mom I’d take a picture if I’m close enough. AND, I baked THE CAKE. My sister was disappointed she couldn’t have any for Christmas because she worried I’d somehow bake Covid-19 into the cake. Since I’ve isolated since I left work, I made one yesterday. I’ll make another one this morning, and give it to my uncle if I see him there.
