Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

Vast Wasteland

I've been an atrocious blogger of late. This happens to me every once and a while. Some weeks I have a ton of crap ideas that I can ramble discuss, and other weeks what little creativity I possess flees the scene. And I'm here to report, it's only going to get worse.

That's right kiddies - it's that time of year again. The Super Librarian parents are, as I'm typing this, somewhere over the Midwest, winging there way to sunny southern California. The difference this year? They've got two daughters living out here. Yes, two daughters for the price of one! Can't beat that!

Since the Lil' Sis will be entertaining them part of the time, I will be sneaking into the office next week - mostly because the end of our fiscal year is killing me. I'm hoping that day and a half in the office will allow me to keep my e-mail in-box to around 300 messages. Ha!

What's on tap? We're doing Disneyland this year. Also, we're going to try to get into the Price Is Right. I plan on tackling Drew Carey and telling him (in no uncertain terms) that they will pick me as the contestant to play Plinko. This is of course assuming we're able to get tickets - which is not a given. I'll keep y'all posted!

I'll try to pop in on the blog every now and then - but I promise nothing. Seriously, my brain she be mush. In the meantime? The Super Librarian parents leave town on the 19th. Be good to each other, and hold off on any interesting flame wars. Boring, redundant flame wars? Heck, have at it.

PS - Yes, the above picture is yours truly at the ripe old age of 5. A wee little Super Librarian in training. Sigh, I know. I was cute as Hell. I'm not sure what the heck happened either. What I wouldn't give to still be that cute. Except, you know....not 5.

Enjoy your time with the 'rents (and at the parks)

Disneyland! Say hi to Beanie at the Finding Nemo ride. I see you were sporting great locks even at 5.

Weather looks nice and toasty for your visitors.

Why is my word verification "supper"?

If you do tackle Drew, tell him I miss Who's Line Is It Anyway. Being only 5' 3" tall, I always wanted to go on that show and be picked for that one where the audience members move the actors. I wanted to be the one to move Ryan Styles only because of how tall he is compared to how short I am.

Also I think I had a hat just like that at that age. I was a big Lone Ranger fan.

Have a great trip and a blast with Mom & Dad.

Jami: I loved Who's Line! Both the British and the American versions.

'Rents are with Lil' Sis this evening. I've skimmed my Google Reader and gone through my e-mail. Go Team Wendy!

Well I can't comment on you're current cuteness (unless we're talking personality, in which case you are cute-pie personified), but yes--you were an adorable five year old.

I feel the same way looking at my own photos up to age five, then I hit an ugly duckling stage that just hasn't quit. To this day it still stings when others see my baby pics and say: "Oh Cathee, you WERE so cute!" (Their emphasis is on the word "cute," mine is always on "were").
