The public library. It is so awesome it's almost unbelievable. I won't spend much time selling you on the reasons to visit a library. If you're anything like me, you're already well versed. If you're not anything like me, you're probably not reading my blog! I'll just tell you my all-time favorite library feature: holds.
If you are a card-carrying member of the Arlington system, you can put something like 75 books on hold at once. Then they magically come from libraries throughout the system right to the library most convenient to you. I like to put bestselling books, DVDs, popular nonfiction, etc. on my list - books that aren't available now. And then when they come available, it is like a present. You never know when they're coming, but they are! Here's George at Central - the biggest library in the Arlington system.
The library is the best. It really is.
If you happen to have seen my pricing materials, you'll know that I did my engagement photos at our library (at the time). The lovely

You know what else I loved? Those glasses. Too bad I stepped on them and destroyed them beyond repair. On the plus side, I'm about 15 pounds lighter than I was there. Happy Monday, y'all.
We'll probably plant them this week, if it ever quits raining. When I started this little garden, I knew I wasn't going to do anything silly like "hardening off" these plants. If anything wants to live in my garden, it needs to be tough. No babying my lovelies - it's sink or swim in this hard-knock world of... vegetables.
