all keyed up

After the farmer's market i came to the library to try to get caught up on blog posts as there are 9 currently in the queue (yes, i still have Portland posts to finish...sigh). They started locking the bathrooms here a few months ago, but since i live less than 2 blocks away i haven't needed to get the key. Until now. I can't explain why, but the key holder makes me happy: It is decoupaged on both sides with nice handmade paper and beautiful stamps from around the world. The workmanship on the decoupage is excellent with hardly any seams, lumps or bubbles. I appreciate that somebody in the library took the time to make a utilitarian object so lovely.

where did that smell come from?

I put on my coat last night to go home. What the HECK was that smell? It didn't smell like that earlier - did it? What could possibly have happened during the hour i was at the library? I don't remember wrestling a wet donkey. When i got home i washed my coat and now it smells like fabric softener. But what in the world happened? I guess some questions can never be answered.

More Reasons to Love My Library

I recently found out that Mondays and Wednesdays are "2 for 1" DVD days at the Catonsville Library. You know how much i love Red Box, but with the deal at the library you get 2 DVDs for 2 days for $2.50 - that is only 19 cents more than Red Box and you get an extra day. Plus, DVDs of TV shows are a 7 day loan with no charge. At this point i think i could only love my library more if they started giving away food. Or puppies.
