Tunnel, comma, Light at End Of

As of today, I have finally finished getting 1300 of my surviving library titles onto LibraryThing - all I have left is one bag full of new stuff to enter, some tweaking to do and a fat handful of dvds then I can get to work on the Other Things like shelf labels and finding a suitable new book return bin. The pastor wanted the new church library up and running in time for our open house in Sept. and here it is not even quite August! *pats self on back*

Gads, this has completely eaten my summer. Was supposed to have a book review written up for a meeting today and I'm just...not. I'm taking a huge vase full of flowers I cut from my yard this morning, however, which should provide sufficient positive distraction that I don't feel guilty. (Sorry, I didn't get that review done - here, smell these roses! Aren't they pretty?)

Gone to the beach this next week (yaaaaay), then I intend to start at least putting in some serious Lurk Hours to catch up on my dear flister's bloggy lives, I've missed you!

Helping Minot - put in a vote

Pimping out something for a friend here:

One of the members of our online 'family' at The Fellowship of Middle-earth, Frodosmiss, was recently flooded out of her home by the historic level flooding of the river at Minot, South Dakota.  She has requested that we spread the word so people can help out her city by voting in a contest Coke is running that will award $100,000 to the top-voted park.  Minot could dearly use that boost just now as their 'Oak Park' was (like many things, including much of her own home) ruined by the flooding. 

SO - if you can take a moment, please do vote... you just have to put in a security code to show you are human, you can vote as many times as you like.  Minot's park recently managed to surge to the front runner, but it will take some work to keep it there.  Thank you!
