Sue, if you'd like me to look over your resume/letter, and/or cheerlead, I'd be happy to. Academic libraries are great, and I am also writing a lot of letters saying "I've never done this, but I have the skills to!"

Thanks flea! I may take you up on this.

Sparky, congratulations on the new house! It's beautiful! I love the kitchen.

Oh, Sparky's link made my bungalow-loving heart sore. I miss my house in Georgia. (Which is rented, as of Oct. 20! To a new librarian where I used to work. Go team money!)

It looks great -- those floors look fantastic.

Also, love the pics of the park at the end.

I've been in SoCal long enough that when I see something that leafy and that green (the yard) it takes me back a bit. We have plants and fruit trees, but even still, everything here is so undrenched and bleached out, nothing lush. I miss it.

Ooh, that is a nice house.

Changing topics briefly...

Have you all seen the Daily Twists ads for Oreo in celebration of their 100th? I read about it in the NYT yesterday. It's amazingly fun. I love that there is one for the beginning of Project Runway: [link] as well as one honoring Nora Ephron [link] There's also higher brow fare, like commemorating Galileo and the telescope [link] So fun.

That is an adorable little house! I can't believe how much living in Rochester has effected my house price index in my head, because that is SO EXPENSIVE IT SHOULD BE A MANSION ON A 12 ACRE COMPOUND!

It's significantly larger than your current place?

Our current place is 980 sq/ft above ground + finished basement, and this one is about 1300 sq/ft above ground + finished basement.

WROD.

Sue: I'd be happy to take a look, also, as an academic librarian.

Thanks Sparky!

It's your current place, but even better!

Work. Uhg.
