  • my new obsession is apparently also your obsession.

    Okay, I saw Oprah in these and she looked good.  I’m nervous about buying something created by Nelly, but the man appreciates a tiny waist and a round thang in your face.   Anybody tried Apple Bottoms yet?  I’m thinking of ordering a pair.  Specifically, these.  [edited to add: Those of you who were outraged about…

  • She cut it.  She drained

    She cut it.  She drained it.  She took a culture.  She cleaned it.  She put me on antibiotics.  She doesn’t think this is the same infection, the really bad one I had.  This is some kind of smaller infection, an ingrown hair gone evil.    “You’ll definitely have a better weekend now,” she said.  …

  • 325 donations.

    eleven and a half hours until my doctor’s appointment.   This ER rerun i’ve never seen before which seems like I was supposed to stay home tonight and update book donations.  We’re at 325.  And the letters from the librarians, as you can see, have been coming in all week.  It’s one of my favorite…

  • Hello, Pam. I hope you

    [readermail] Hello, Pam. I hope you and your wonderful readers are well. We continue to be thrilled with the effects of the books drive. Today the Poway Library had a story time and children’s craft hour using only books we had received from the “pamie.com family”. It was a great program and a great turnout.…

  • Hey Pamie – you’ve already

    [readermail] Hey Pamie – you’ve already posted a link to my original donation entry,  but I thought you’d enjoy this one too – I got a really nice handwritten note from the librarian at the the Spring Valley Branch, and scanned it onto my blog, here. It made me happy. sam [/readermail]

    [readermail] Pamie, Words can not express the joy you have brought to our entire staff.  Whenever another package arrives we have a little party!  We are a new and growing branch that could use more books on many different subjects.  Your generous donations help us fill out our collection.  That makes our patrons very happy! …

  • Letter From a Lemon Grove Librarian

    [readermail] Dear Pamie and Friends of the Cool Kids:    The UPS guy is getting to know Lemon Grove Library really well;  every day we get more deliveries from Amazon!  It’s exciting opening the boxes to find the treasures inside.  The most successful donations have been the Lemony Snicket books – they are nearly all checked…

  • Here’s information and photographs for the

    Here’s information and photographs for the different San Diego Library branches.     i’ve entered the trippy, head-spacey section of the Vicodin.  It makes me do dumb things, like type in italics and small print.  it makes me want to not update any more of these, but i need to because it’s been a week and you…

  • Letter From a Del Mar Branch Librarian

    [readermail] Thank you so much for helping us with the amazon.com wish list for San Diego County Libraries.  We are receiving so many of the titles we hoped for from book lovers all around the country.  I spoke with the President of The Friends of the Del Mar Library, and the board will publish an…

  • I only guilt-tripped you down

    I only guilt-tripped you down there because right now I have no shame.  Typing under the influence while in pain makes you do things like that.   I mean, you know.  If you can’t donate a book, that doesn’t make you a bad person or anything.  It just means you can’t donate a book to…
