Happy New Year

Dear Reader,

I hope your New Year's Eve is going better than mine. I have had the most frustrating 5 minutes of my life. I received an overdue notice from the local library. This notice states that I have a movie checked out that is not one that I have ever checked out. While I do enjoy an occasional foreign film, I would not watch a movie about a film crew making a movie. That just seems boring to me. Anyway, the media lady called me and basically said that I have to pay for the movie. Then she proceeded to lecture me about how the patron is responsible for items checked out on their card as if I didn't already know that. I would like to think that while I am blonde I am not stupid. I am fully aware that I have to pay for this movie. What I want to know is why patrons have to pay for the employee's mistakes? I did not check out that movie. On the off chance that I did (and I mean really off, like the sky was falling and that DVD was only thing I could grab to put over my head to keep pieces of sky from knocking me out) I checked every DVD case, I pulled my bed a part, I looked under every couch and cushion, I looked in my car and I even checked the fridge, the icebox and the dishwasher. Nothing. So, I must conclude that I did not check that movie out. Also, I am highly offended that this woman seems to think that an adult would not rent Peter Pan. Actually, if I didn't already own it, I probably would rent it.

Now I owe the library 15.00 dollars and my reputation as decent patron is shot to hell. I'm also not proud of the fact that I lost my cool and I think I even screamed at the lady. That behavior is uncalled for and it probably wasn't her fault.

Anyway, I hope 2010 starts out better than last year and ends better than this year.

I also have to confess that as of my last post I have not actually read a single thing. I have done nothing but watch Criminal Minds and I have developed a crush on Dr. Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler). As soon as I'm done with CM I will read Whip It. I need to read something easy.

Anyway Happy New Year!
