It is so much work being me! I have library cards all over. Just put a book on hold. They are going to send it over to Sea Isle City from Cape May Court House library. No matter that I live an hour away from Sea Isle City. The book is about blogging for creative people. I'd like to be creative. And here I am blogging.  Really, this is just an online diary!

Went to a free program last night at the Sea Isle City library. It is a four week program on Home organization 101. Someone thought that meant it was in ROOM 101.
Life is so complicated. There were 14 women there. The instructor said her classes are 100% women. She gave us an assignment, to organize a bedroom closet. One of the ladies asked, "Which one? ONE of my houses has ELEVEN bedrooms." Later she said that she had 250 pairs of shoes to give away. Yikes, how the other half lives.

She asked us to think of someone we would like to meet and then we had to write what that person would see when they came through our home. I couldn't think of anyone, but stole someone else's idea of Johnny Depp. Yes, he gives me palpitations. Someone else I'd like to meet is Serena Williams. Now, there is one fine hunk of woman. But, I digress.....That wasn't the point of the exercise. I remember an old black and white Tracy/Hepburn movie in which I was so impressed that the day she met him, she invited him in and her apartment was pristine.

I just finished listening to an audiobook called, It's all too much, read by the author, Peter Walsh. He had (has?) a TV show called Clean sweep. It is all about clutter. It is quite funny with a lot of good quotes, such as, "A garage is not a stuff cemetery". You almost wished you had the book in hand so you could remember the quotes, and get the lists, but is is pleasant listening to his Australian accent.

True believers is a book by Kurt Anderson, who is on Studio 360 on NPR. A woman who was involved in various radical activites decides to write a book about her past telling the truth about some people and activites. I enjoyed the cultural references to the 60's and 70's as that is MY era.
