Bookish Blerd

...but I'm excited for the readathon now.

Maybe I should go to the beginning?  This is going to be all over the place, probably, so be patient with me.  

1. Work Shenanigans Update:  As it turns out, several of us found that their schedules had been "mysteriously" changed on Sunday.  A co-worker told me (after the fact) that she had confronted the culprit and they, of course, said that my co-worker had to be mistaken because her schedule was in the system.  Well thank goodness she remembered to print her schedule, which shows the date you printed it, and she PROVED that her schedule had indeed been altered.  And we found that the hard copy of the schedule that is posted in the office at the beginning of every week showed her original hours and not the altered hours.  So of course the culprit back peddled and said that it was some glitch with the system, or that someone else must have done it.  Bull. Crap.  So to combat her lies, all of us employees involved have decided to remember to print our schedules the last day we work and on Saturdays, just to prove that there are shenanigans afoot if the issue arises again.  It's sad that we have to do this, but it is what it is.

2. Yesterday, instead of relaxing and planning my TBR list for Dewey's I took my daughter to register for college.  It made me nostalgic for school, and I started contemplating going back to school to finish my degree--which is INSANITY!  Who the hell in their right mind wants to go back to school on top of working and doing mom/wife stuff?  Eh, the jury's still out.  If I did it I would only take one or two classes at a time and just pay out of pocket instead of trying to do a full course load and having to deal with financial aid and whatnot.  The whole experience made me proud and sad.  I didn't think she would go to college at all because she's the one obsessed with not spending money and worried about debt, but she's decided to at least go for an Associate's degree and then go from there.  It makes me sad because she's my youngest.  Where has the time gone?!  She was just my hyperactive babygirl who did circles around the coffee table and climb all over the furniture.  She's also the child most likely to move away from home and never call or visit. *sigh*

3. Today hubby and I went to the Chadds Ford Winery to pick up (late) our two free bottles that is a bonus of being a wine club member.  On the way there we stopped at a cute little diner and had the prettiest omelets we've ever seen.  I'm not joking, these things were beautiful!  They were tasty too.  They also informed us that if we come in for lunch or dinner after visiting the wonder, we can bring a bottle of wine in to drink with our meal.  How cool is that?!  I think more places are starting to allow BYOB.  Anyway, with the wine club membership you and a guest can have a free tasting any time we come to the winery.  Who wants to take a 40 minute drive and not have a tasting?!  Not this girl.  I did it by myself as hubby didn't want to sit around afterward to make sure he was okay to drive.  You obviously only get a small taste (maybe an ounce) for every wine you sample, but he's a super duper lightweight, so...   We've only become wine drinkers over the last few years and we used to stick to dessert wines.  Now we're expanding our horizons.  I'm finding that I enjoy some, and only some, dry wines now.  It's a fun place.  The staff are super friendly and welcoming and never make you feel stupid for not being a wine connoisseur.  They have events all year long and you can bring a picnic basket with you if you want to make a day of it.

4. Now that I'm home, I've tidied up my room and reading spaces for tomorrow, I've pulled out my snack options and I'm working on my TBR.  I'm ready to get the weekend started!

Hope everyone has a stellar weekend!
