Baltimore

The flights are now confirmed and our apartment in New York is also confirmed. I'll be looking forward to having a room of my own after sharing with Genimaree for three weeks!!

AKA Times Square Apartments

The biggest excitement so far is the proposed side trip to Baltimore for a day. Being a massive fan of The Wire and Homicide Life on the Street as well as film maker John Waters, its a dream come true.

Almost organised

It's now four months until we depart. The flights are organised and the accommodation for the extra week in New York is almost set. I've joined ALA so that I can say I'm one of the American's when I go to the conference plus I get a cheaper deal for the conference.

The big question now is what to pack? I always over pack and I'm determined not to do it this time. Does anyone have any tips.

Great Library Tour of USA

Well, I've signed up for another slightly intrepid trip, this time to the USA in June/July this year and I can't wait to go.

We'll be visiting lots of libraries and attending the ALA conference in Washington, along with 20,000 other librarians!

I'll keep you updated as plans progress.

More things

I've added a facebook page for the library and updated twitter. I'm over the facebook addiction but then I find something new!!

Things 24-48 are now here on library 2.1....will it ever end?

Time flies

Suddenly it's a month and a half since I last posted...where did the time go?? The family is now getting ready fro the big G party on Saturday night in Paynseville for George's 80th. I've decided to go as a gypsy!!! Fortune telling and all. Should be fun.
There have been lots of social evnets as usual and lots more to come. Movies on Monday night, the LGPro conference dinner on Thursday night, off to Paynseville on Friday, Tramcar Restaurant Thursday week for dad's official birthday and then Kerryn's farewell and Intrepid Librarian on the Friday night followed by dad's second party!!!

City Living!!

Today I move into the city apartment for an exciting week of city living. I feel so cool and groovy.....(well, not really, I'm just as much a dag as I've always been).

I've got Holley, Matthew and Andrew coming for dinner on Thursday and Wolf and Trish on Saturday night.....should be fun.

Christmas day was fun yesterday at Chris and Lyndall's and the boys were gorgeous.

Lauren and I went to the movies at 8.30 to see The Darjeeling Limited which was funny and quirky...I enjoyed it a lot.

A city apartment

I'm very excited about next week. Deb (the gorgeous communications manager from work) is lending me her city apartment in Market Street. It's on the 22nd floor overlooking Southbank and the Casino, perfect for New Year's Eve. I'm sure I'll feel like I'm in Sex in the City!!

Tonight I've been searching the internet to find a restaurant for dinner on NYE. finally found a very groovy place. the Kitten Club, that will let us just come for dinner and then we'll head back to the apartment to watch the fireworks at midnight.

Other news this week, Lauren has moved to Fitzroy so the house is feeling a little empty. I've done my Christmas shopping, except for Dad, and I'll do that tomorrow....so yay!!!
