A little of this and that

Happy Friday - it's almost the weekend. My lovely sidekick is standing beside me while I type this evening. She says HELLO readers!

My first paragraph, I'll title: TALES FROM THE LIBRARY. For those of you who are mislead/delusioned to believe that the library is a quiet place, let me assure you - that is NOT true!!!! A week ago Monday night as I got ready for storytime I decided I would sit in the rocking chair to read for a change. The first book was a total waste - the kids were WILD and I'm sure they didn't hear a word I read. They finally settled down and sat quietly. So I read all the books I have picked out and go to uncross my ankles, only to find that the little girl who was sitting on the floor in front of me had tied my shoelaces together. I had to laugh! I thought her mother would die of embarassment but it TOTALLY made my night.

TO SEW OR NOT TO SEW. I have had every intention of sitting down to sew the Christmas projects that are sitting on my desk this week (and another that is tucked away for the approaching holidays...), but unfortunately - haven't touched them since Sunday afternoon. I hope this weekend will be more productive in that department.

THE WINDY CITY. We successfully hosted a shopping trip to Chicago this week for our clients' wives. We had a good time, the weather wasn't bad and everyone came back that went in with us (always my biggest concern)! The stores were decorated for Christmas so it was nice to have a dose of that and not have to deal with huge crowds yet! I met a friend who I haven't seen in probably a couple of years for lunch and we caught up some. It was GREAT to see her!

TGIF! I am SO happy it's Friday tomorrow and am looking forward to this weekend. I hope you all have a great one!
