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....

    Then And Now--Fifth "Blogiversary"

    « H E LibraryLady :: email
    posted Wed, 08/20/08

    It's hard to believe, but I began this blog on August 20, 2003.

    SC was 8 and JR was 4. SC was still listening to me (mostly) and JR was still young enough to take a nap!
    The Man was just as irritating and endearing, the house was just as messy and I was just as looney then as I am now.

    And through it all, I keep on blogging. 

    I couldn't decide how to celebrate this milestone. And then Maggie of "Magpie Musing" led me to Wordle, a way to take text and turn it into a word picture.

    So today, on my 5th (really) "blogiversary" is a Wordle from my very first post:

     (If you click on the Wordle, you will be taken to the site and see this at full size)
     
    And this one is drawn from words in my August entries:

    Thank you to those of you who have been kind enough to read and comment on my blog for the past five years!

    I'm going to keep on blogging. And I hope you'll keep on reading........
