Two posts in a single week . . .
Life must be good! It's been a little slow lately, so I've had time to focus on what's really important to me . . . like writing. And I am going to be better about adding random thoughts to this blog. Seriously.I added the last blog, regarding The Office in an attempt to diversify my topics. I know I write a lot about books, and that's a big part of my life (I have four full-size and four two/three-shelf bookshelves and books are still lined up against the walls). I'm a book-addict. I confess.
Anyway, I'm on a self-imposed "book-buying restriction" until August, so I can catch up reading the books I own, but haven't read yet. Of course, this doesn't stop me from going to the library to check out books that I want to read right now, too! Currently in the middle of In Cold Blood after having watched Capote, which was a brilliant film.
But this post wasn't supposed to be about books. It's about the "other stuff" in my life. Right now, that includes helping my co-clerk renovate her home (she's redoing the bathrooms and kitchen, so I've learned how to tile, drywall, plaster, paint, and stain -- well, I already knew how to do the last two, but I'm learning the rest!). Glad it's her house and not mine!
I've also been enjoying the sites of western Virginia. There was a talk at the library (sorry, unintentional literary reference) recently about Moonshine. And, of course, there's the fabulous, though slowly disintegrating, Foamhenge. That's right, it's exactly what you first thought of -- A recreation of Stonehenge made entirely out of foam. Don't believe me? Check it out: http://www.naturalbridgeva.com/foamhenge.html.
And here's a picture from my recent pilgrimage there:
And when two college friends were visiting me, we were fortunate enough to run across the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile at my local Kroger. Of course, we asked for the mini-whistles, which we were told can only be acquired from one of the Weinermobiles traveling throughout the states at this moment. Who knew? The Weinermobile has an "Oscar Meyer theme song" horn and two enthusiastic recent college grads willing to tell you all about their experiences. Fun times!

On that note . . . until the next time!
