Happy Thanksgiving

Well, it has been a while since I posted. I got transferred at work and am still getting adjusted to it. I am Twittering and back on Facebook again. So glad that Chris Gorham is on Twitter and I can see what he is up to. He just announced he will be in yet another indie film called Somebody's Hero So He has had a very busy year, but I am very happy for him. I am still writing reviews and recaps for the TwoCents for the shows Bones and Ugly Betty.
My son just got his 2 Wisdom teeth out...poor kid. He was hallucinating the way home. Funny stuff.
Thanksgiving is around the corner and Christmas will be here before we know it, Holy Crap! and I won't be ready, as usual.

Piper Perabo and Eric Lively and Chris in attire for Covert Affairs.

Well, lots of changes. I had to leave my home of Springfield Library to go to Canfield. Now don't get me wrong , its not that I don't like Canfield , but I just loved being in Springfield and the patrons that I got to know so well. Made many new friends and now I have to start all over. It angers me a bit that administration had come to this reaction of the budget cuts when they have millions in the fund they can use for a short while to see if things get better.
Also, the kids are going to Homecoming this weekend and I will be sure to post a pic of that.
Chris Gorham is starring in a new show this winter on USA called "Covert Affairs". I look for ward to seeing his lovely face back on the small screen. I also hope to see him a few times on "Betty" too. You know she belongs with Henry!
Well jus tthought I would post something sice it has been so long.

moving to different library

Well peeps, I have to move to another location....again! I know , I know...thing just won't be the same. But hey, hang loose and just don't fret the small stuff. I am off to Canfield and will have to make do there. This is a shout out to Karen Wabbit..I will miss you so much. We got to be pretty good friends working out here in Springfield. We had some real good times. Don't stop being the fun energetic person that you are.I hope that eventually funding will let me come back...good God, we can only hope. I love my little New Middletown library and the people there. Got to make many friends with the patrons and will miss them dearly.Yes, my dear friends I thought that the only way I would leave here is when they pry the book from my cold dead hands or when pigs fly...I guess with the Canfield fair around the corner...they must have seen a porker in the sky...

i love you grandma Z

This is just a little tribute to my grandmother. She just passed away today and I will miss her very much. She is the strongest woman I will ever know. Let me tell you a little something. She was born here in the US and then was taken back to Russia. At age 13 her mother put her on a boat and sent her to the US....all by herself! She knew no English and was to catch a train in NY to take her to Mass.Nobody met her in NY and strangers took and gave her something to eat and got her on her way. I can't believe her mother could do that! She couldn't either! She married very young and raised her family of 5 kids. Grandpa died early and grandma cleaned houses to raise money to keep the family going.Our family has never had squabbles and have been a very tight loving family. I am gratfull for her to be our rock. She had 15 grandchildren and 30 great grandchildren. I will miss her dearly!

what up?

Well it has been a while since I posted anything. Not much happening except for at work we are doing some major cut-backs and it is driving me crazy. They cut staff to bear minimum and expect everything to look just fine. NOT going to happen. The air conditioning is practically turned off and makes it very hard to work when you feel as though you are about to pass out cuz of the heat. More and more people are using the library now in hard economic times, but cuts make it hard to keep up.
Enough rant about that!
Nothing on TV now that Harper's Island is over. Can't wait for fall to bring some entertainment, but not in too big a hurry, it feels as though summer hasn't even begun yet.
Would like to say Happy Birthday to the hubby today!!

Let's go to the Piggly Wiggly

Indians vs Yankees- my experience

ok, so last night we went to the Indians game against the Yankees. As we were getting beat we had a bunch of Yankee fans around us to make it worse. But the funny thing is we has this young kid who was selling candy and as he comes down our row the Yanks are yelling "hey Mclovin, how's it going". This gets smirks even from our beloved candyman. Later some kid runs right past us on the field waving the Indian towel and darts across the whole field stopping the game. It was quite comical, but the kicker was the Yanks started up again by yelling to the cop on the field (who made absolutely no attempt to go after the boy)They were yelling "Hey Hightower, don't go too fast" in case you don't remember...Hightower was a character from "Police Academy" Even the cop laughed.He really did look like him! AHHHH, it was a eventful evening.
