1. Fake cooked Sushi for dinner.  Because it’s cool and high in protein and contains nothing to make my stomach react.  Plus I get to eat it on the couch because it’s one of our favorite eat-in-front-of-the-tv takeout dinners.  And the couch is officially my favorite place in the world.

2.  Feeling much reassured by my hospital tour – more to come on that in a real post.

3.  It’s a little cooler today.  Probably won’t last, but it’s nice for the moment.

4.  The Boy is going to start moving his office out of the room that will become our room so that the baby can have our room.  Which means we’ll be able to buy a crib.  Which means I guess this kid can come just about any time (after, say, September 1) that he feels like arriving!

5.  The manager at the branch I’m currently working at confessed to me that for years now, he’s just been copying my book orders for teens and buying them for his branch as well.  Since this guy used to be a YA librarian, too, I took this as a great compliment and it really made my day – also, even though I’m totally temporary, he’s letting me order additional books for his teen section while I’m there.  Love.  Buying.  Books.

  • On the teen book front, I just read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and am about to start on Catching Fire #2 in the trilogy with #3, Mockingjay coming out in August.

    I’m sure you already know about it, but it was a great read and, at almost 400 pages, a good commitment for a teen. Lots of good themes (even if the premise was more than a bit difficult for this mother to stomach at first).
