JEEZ LOUISE!!!!!

As if everything Molly does isn't enough already, she has developed a new annoying thing.  Her bottom jaw shivers up and down, and her teeth clack.  She does it all the time....clack clack clack at a hundred miles an hour.  What the hell is that?  It reminds me of what cats do when they see a bird.  Its that fast, but her teeth, what's left of them, clack together.  She does this FREQUENTLY through the night.

I got Purple Room all clean and organized.  Now I have a bare wall due to the chairs having been moved out to the kitchen.  So either another chair can go there or maybe a small vanity for my jewelry etc... and today at Winners that decision was made.  I popped into Pier One first and they had lovely choices...but expensive.  Before buying anything I decided to go to Winners.  And am I ever glad I did.  I found a lovely little loveseat, cheap.  So I bought it and Monte is going down to pick it up in the next hour.  I shall take pics.

I spent the morning this morning very oddly.  The literacy group here in town run a program called the Little Red Bookshelf.  There are several red bookshelves spread about the city.  Each shelf is assigned a person to maintain it.  It seems that Kiwanis takes care of the one at the Y downtown.
Over at a school across town there are thousands, and I mean thousands, of books.  Some are used, some are new...all donated.  All those books have to be checked for appropriateness, checked for bad words written on the pages, dirt, rips etc....Then when they have been checked and cleaned with handiwipes, a Bookshelf sticker is stuck on the back.  Then they are sorted into categories (about forty categories from what I could tell), many shelves filled and the rest properly boxed and labelled.

This morning there was a massive influx of new books.  So there was no cleaning or checking, just stickering.  I emptied forty sheets of stickers.  Each sheet has thirty stickers.  You do the math!!!!  Thats a lot of books all ready to be placed on bookshelves.   Another lady from Kiwanis was there and did about the same amount.  I have to be honest though, it was really fast and easy.

Well, Monte just arrived with the love seat.  It looks fantiddelyastic!!!  And its super duper comfy.  I shall include some pics here.

A word to Shannon.  Where are you?  What happened finally with your car?  We need updates!!!!!  Peeps are asking for you!  TTYL
