Elise and I went to the public library today for baby lapsit, which is like storytime for kids under two, but more interactive. We played pat-a-cake and peek-a-boo and read nursery rhymes. Elise loved it, especially playing with all the other babies. Next week we'll try harder not to be late.
I didn't get lost on my way to the library this time, which is good for me. (And I only had one small detour on the way home.) Last time we went to the library, I accidentally turned into the fire station, and this group of muscly firemen in shorts were standing around about to do some sort of drill. They all stared me down as I turned around. What did they think, that I was there to personally report a fire?
I did get lost going to Wal-mart yesterday, though. We usually go to the closest Wal-mart, which is a "Neighborhood Market" that only sells groceries. I needed a few other things that I could only get at a "Supercenter," so we ventured out. I had to call Matt to help me figure out where the heck I was. I call Matt at work a lot these days. I'm sure it's pretty annoying, especially for someone who pretty much never gets lost.
Besides finally figuring out how to get to the library, I have also been driving on the freeway a lot lately. Holly's baby, Hudson, who is 2 months old today, has RSV, and he was in the hospital from Sunday until last night. I'm so glad he's home and getting better. I made a couple of trips to Holly's to help out with the older kids so my brother-in-law Jonathan could visit at the hospital. Can I just say that driving on the freeway is scary?
(If you haven't noticed, I hate driving in general. I'm not very good at it, and I don't have much practice, though I've gotten more practice lately. I don't have a good sense of direction, and driving makes me nervous. I've only had a driver license since July of 2010.)
Anyway, I love having the library so close. When we lived with Holly, the public library was too far away to be practical. I just finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (thanks for recommending it, Casey!), and now I'm on to Life of Pi. After seeing the movie, I really want to read The Help, but I'm still on the waiting list. Does anyone have any good books to suggest?
Ooh. I like anything by Jasper Fforde. If you go for his stuff, just be warned, the first volume of the Thursday Next series has a couple swears in it. Other than that, I've been reading Sherlock Holmes and John Carter of Mars for series'. Um... I don't know what else you read, Blair, or I'd try to be more helpful! Maybe you can email me with some genres or some such. And, this is Kourtnee, btw. It comes up as my other blog name instead.
