One of these days, I'm actually going to post about stuff when I mean to on a regular basis. I kept meaning to do it all this week and time kind of got away from me.

Monday night was the University's Library Assosiation's annual dinner. It's held up at Arsht Hall and it's kinda swanky. Really nice dinner, open bar beforehand, and a well-known author as the speaker. This year was Nathanial Philbrick - whose most recent work is Mayflower, about the Pilgrims. (Though, he's written a number of other nautical books.) The dinner was good, I sold a bunch of books, and he gave a good presentation. The whole thing started around 6 and I got home at about 10:30.

Tuesday was pretty normal. Work was kinda busy with the fact that we're doing caps and gowns (and et. al.) for graduation this week. Did some cleaning in the advent of [livejournal.com profile] libralyte coming to visit.

Wednesday was my opener, so I had to be at work early. Then I had a book signing at 8pm. I left work at my normal Wednesday time of 4:15 and hung out on the mall reading for a while before meeting my dad for dinner at California Tortilla. The booksigning was fun, it was a group of 9 women who've written a few different things (not necessarily together) and who are doing a tour. The people there were pretty evenly divided between the speakers and the audience. Got home from that around 10:30 too.

Yesterday was a normal day along with me skipping out of choir practice and doing some more cleaning. (I think things look fairly presentable now.) Though, there was also the blow up. At one point, my dad said, "I bet you're glad I'm going away for the week, aren't you?" And I thought, "Damn right!" (He and my grandparents are taking 12 days and their camper and driving down to Savannah, GA, then to Cape Hatteras (I think) and back.)

Today was good. Had a conference call this afternoon about the updates we're getting to our new computer system at work. ([livejournal.com profile] eatstake - as of, I think, Wednesday, I'll be using Bookmaster 8.5.) After work, ran home to chance and take care of Patch quickly before running back out and up to Wilmington to meet Beth for dinner. We took advantage of Wilmington's Restaurant Week and ate at 821. (A bunch of restaurants get together and offer various fixed menus for 2 course lunches and 3 course dinners.) It was quite yummy and we had a great time, since we haven't seen each other in ages.

And tomorrow, I'm going up to [livejournal.com profile] libralyte's and hang up there for a while before bringing her back here for the week. (And I have off! How great is that?)

Sounds like a very full week for you!

The dinner sounds very interesting!

Tell you Dad that you ARE glad he'll be away! Sheesh! *g*

There is no way I could've stayed that long living with MY Dad so kudos to you for that! =>}

The Restaurant Week deal sounds yummy indeed!

Hope you have fun with [livejournal.com profile] libralyte!

Ah, good old BookMaster 8.5! I miss that version. We're testing 8.6 but it's really messed up the local store list function.
