Amazon's Kindle Fire

I tossed around the idea of either getting an Amazon Kindle Fire or a Nook Tablet.  I researched and researched--talked to people that had them both.  I finally decided on the Amazon Kindle Fire--it was cheaper than the Nook Tablet.  My Kindle Fire came in the mail today before I left to go to work.  After I got home from work this evening, I got it all set up and downloaded a book to it.  The download went fine and I have started reading the book.  So far I am satisfied with my Kindle Fire--there are those that do not like them and that is OK.  It is a matter of preference on which one you want.  The next thing on my list of "toys" to purchase down the line (a year or so) is going to be an Ipad--I have seen one of those up close and I really like the Ipad so that will be my next purchase for me--I am going to enjoy my Kindle Fire for a little while. I will keep things updated as I use my Kindle Fire more and more (I still like the physical book, but this Kindle will make traveling much easier than lugging around three and four books when I travel).

Another Year Older . . . Next Year is the big 40!

My birthday has came and went without incident.  It was a good birthday . . . I am just another year older, and yes another year wiser--Next Year is the big 40 for me and my Cousin Heather--Not planning any big shindig or anything like that--it will just be another day for me and I will enter another decade--Gosh has time flew the coop. I am still a librarian--Gatekeeper of knowledge and next year will start my 9th year at the Public Library I am employed--no big celebration there either--it is hard to believe that I have been working at the public library for almost a decade--again time has flew by and I enjoy working there and working with the people I work with--I could not ask for a better group of Colleagues to work with--makes the days go by fast as well as our interactions with the patrons that come into the library and utilize our services. Alas another birthday has gone by and it was a good birthday!

Good News/Bad News

 The last two weeks have been very rough, the Fiscal Officer/Assistant Director that worked with me at Wauseon Public Library passed away after a battle with bone cancer, besides being my boss when the Library Director was gone, she was also a friend and I will miss her dearly she was so much fun to work with, she could always make you laugh, she was a wonderful person I feel so blessed that I got to work with her the last six years--now the library is looking for a part-time Fiscal Officer. With the passing of our Fiscal Officer/Assistant Director, another change was made, the board eliminated the Assistant Director Position and those duties were transferred to me under my new Job Title that I was given in October of 2022 as Head Librarian, with the added duties my pay was increased--yes I am pleased with the pay increase (my pay was increased once I accepted the Head Librarian Position), but the circumstances for the added duties and pay increase came at the loss of losing our Fi...

Grandma's 86th Birthday Today--January 11, 2014

I must say 2014 sure came in like a lion weather-wise--we had 11.2 inches of snow twice this month (January) the first storm was on January 2, 2014 and the second round of snow came in January 5-6, 2014. The second round of snow brought blowing and drifting plus Arctic Temperatures that we have not seen around here in decades.  Caused Level 3 Snow Emergencies the first part of the week and caused school closures.  My employer was closed Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (January 6-8, 2014). It has warmed up and this snow is melting--til the next round--hopefully not for a little while yet, we will see. Today--January 11, 2014 is my Grandmother's 86th Birthday. We went to Fulton Manor to visit with her and take her birthday gift to her. She really liked her birthday cards from us and her other set of PJs we picked out and got for her. The other set (left side of the picture--the purple set) was exchanged and gotten in her size--a Christmas Gift she was given. the mint ...
