Library day

Library day again. El Burrito was a bit excited about riding in "mommy's car" but it doesn't seem to compare to a ride in Grandpa's truck. :)

Library totals: 39 items out, 6 on hold. Returned 7 items, checked out 5, so it's moving in the right direction.

Returned to the library today:

• Very overdue Slings & Arrows DVD; I only managed to watch the first episode. I went to put it on hold again so I can finish it, but it doesn't seem to show up in the library catalog. That's bizarre.
  
• Happy Healthy Monsters DVD (again) - I checked it out again to look at the "bonus" features. Not much there, just a 1-page coloring sheet and a Cook with Cookie Monster game.
• Crocheted Socks - because crocheted socks just aren't going to be my thing.
  
• Stori Telling, by Tori Spelling, which I posted about earlier.
  
• An Idiot Girl's Christmas, by Laurie Notaro; this one is short essay-type snippets, but some of them are hilarious (especially if you've ever gotten a totally-wrong gift from someone)
  
• Books 2, 3, & 4 of Rita Mae Brown's foxhunting series - Hotspur, Full Cry, and The Hunt Ball. These are entertaining books, lots of horses and hounds. I do think that one of the murder victims in Full Cry was resurrected in the next book, but I didn't double-check that before I returned them.
  

And we went to the big First-Tuesday sale and spent $10 on two bags of sci-fi goodies and some books for El Burrito (2 Pooh, 1 Clifford, 1 Sesame Street). We also found The Toddler's Busy Book: 365 creative games & activities, that will hopefully have some good ideas for games. If not, it was only 50 cents.

And El Burrito's book-sale buddie, the older lady who is always happy to see him, had a little present for him - a Paddington board book.

Now, it's off to clear out the email and think about supper, among other things.
