So, I've been reading this really good book, right? The one about teaching reading comprehension? Yep... that's the one. Today, I decided to swing by the library to pick up some of the books that it recommends.
On my way in the door, I'm searching for my library card. I can't find it in my wallet or anywhere else in my purse. So, I grabbed my driver's license, hoping that would get me somewhere. As I walk inside and get in line to find out if I can either get a replacement card or use my driver's license as a card, I get behind this lady who is getting her new card (wow... I'm abusing the word card). The librarian hands her her new one, as well as a small card that fits on your key ring. Hmm... I think, that sounds awfully familiar. Guess what I find when I pull out my keys? You guessed it: my library card (the hand-dandy, "never lose it" size... well, I "lost" it).
As if my embarrassment wasn't great enough, I thought I might have a fine, so I hand the lady my not-so-lost library card (and my keys) to figure out how much I owe... if I told you the amount, you would never speak to me again, so I won't. Let's just put it this way... I keep the library in business! Thanks to me, you can check out books for free. (It's not quite that bad, but doesn't it make for a great story?)
All that to say, I got some books at the library today. I'll have to let you know if they are any good or worth reading.

How funny! Glad to hear things turned out okay....well, aside from the fine! :-) Don't worry - our family keeps our library in business too! :-D
Our family(well,my fun money goes there) takes care of the library too!! Last time I went, I paid it quickly, b/c I didn't want my DH to hear what it was!! It's mainly the kids movies that I forget b/c they are a week long.
