The Main Characters

The Man (of the House): The love of my life. Severely addicted to books (that take up WAYYYY too much space in our house) and raw garlic. We've been married 15 years, but involved for many more. Long story....

Our Kids:
SC:  Age 14. Book addicted like both her parents. Serious, but with a nice sense of humor. Well mannered in the eyes of the world, but at home,it can be another story--she's a teenager(!)

JR: Age 10  I think of her as a Disney Princess's evil twin. All the eccentricity of both sides of the family wrapped up in a sweet little body and an adorable smile. People find her a darling. I do too, but I also find her exhausting!

The Beasts: Our 2 cats, both adopted from animal rescue. "Bart" is a big, solid black, total teddy bear of a cat. Our brown tabby queeen "Bella" is  in love with The Man, though she seems to like me too!

Me: Children's librarian by day, tired keeper of all of the above by night. When I think of my life, I think of Nicole Hollander (Sylvia)'s immortal line about things that are easier than combining a family and a career. Like swimming the Amazon covered in peanut butter....

    Dear Person Who Works In My Library

    (Because I refuse to call you a co-worker)

    I have spent many years knowing that you are a self-absorbed, selfish SOB, so I shouldn't be surprised when you exhibit further examples of inconsiderate behavior.

    But today I opened the kitchen fridge to discover that you had had the chutzpa  to take  ALL the ice cubes we had to fill up your mini-cooler of sodas. Not only that, but you then put the whole bag in the freezer, leaving it not fully closed, AND didn't bother to restart the ice maker.

    I hope when you get to the game tonight (and BTW, everyone in the place is sick beyond sick of your juvenile obsession with sports teams, right down to heading to the games attired in "old timers" regalia) you enjoy your nice cold sodas.

    Because I took every one of them out of the bag and shook them. Hard.

    So perhaps next time you will consider putting a crowbar into your overstuffed wallet and dropping two or three dollars on blue ice packs like the rest of us use.

    Play Ball!

    Icily yours,
    The Library Lady
