I've also officially commited myself to applying for the MLS program at Illinois (Internet version of the program) by asking my boss for a reference. Double eeep!!
Yay, Kathy!!! I am so glad you're doing that! I know you've been wanting to for a long time.
In Roman Holiday, Hepburn and Peck go to a wall (cave?) where you can put your hand inside. What's that place called? I am drawing a complete blank.
The Mouth of Truth or La Bocca della Verità .

That's it! Thank you, sj and Kristen!
I have art and first editions. They're not particularly valuable, but they are art and first editions. I'm a museum member. I bought antique furniture in high school with my allowance. I bought my first house when I was 23. My father was the only child in a whole family. Sadly, none of then had any money, but they all had sets and sets of china and silver. I therefore have all the china and silver I could possibly want. The set from my grandmother even includes cream soups. I have a lawn mower, a small tiller, a chain saw, a circular saw, a jigsaw, a cordless drill, a palm sander and a home equity loan. I have a 401K.
I still don't feel like an adult. Maybe it's the lack of matching luggage.
Is it too much overkill if I use another supervisor from that same library for my third rec, or should I go for a more diverse base and use a non-library friend?
Don't sweat the fact that two are from the same place (after all, all those fresh-faced just-out-of-undergrads are probably getting
all
of theirs from the same place). Think instead about whether they'll be able to shed some light on different aspects of what you're offering them. A rec that's all about your badass book knowledge is different from (and complementary to) a rec about how great you are at pulling together complex projects -- even if they come from people who sit right next to each other all day.
Kathy -- good for you! Lots of Admissions-ma.
Despite all of the debt and the 403B I still don't feel like an adult. Must be lack of good furniture, matching luggage and a decent amount of flatware.

Don't forget the "timeless" $3500 suit!

Those are like the adultiest things ever.
I forgot to say before that having kids has definitely made me feel, if not naturally like an adult, that I have to be one whether I want to or not. To have a tiny little person depending on me and Stephen for everything made me consider a lot of decisions more carefully, and try to be better prepared for a lot of emergencies. I think that's kind of a given when you have kids, though.
