A Note to Bubbles

I have a loving bone to pick with you, Bubbles of http://www.bubblesandmoney.blogspot.com/ .  Bubbles, I love you and you are a dear friend to me but...you've influenced me indirectly with the whole library thing.  You have raved about being able to go on line, set up an account, and "order" books from other branches then go in and pick them up.  I succumbed to your exuberance and opened an account.  I now have 4 books sitting on my nightstand to be read and more on order.  Yes, I love it and am so thankful for books to read.  I'm thankful that a new door has been opened for me but, yikes, I could be overrun with books.  Renewal, it's a good thing!

Although, Bubbles, I've not given in to self-checkout.  I did learn something new about myself in considering it.  I'm a total introvert and you'd think self-checkout would be perfect for me but it's not.  I truly enjoy talking to the people who check me out.  Guess what?  I inquired, to the gal checking me out, about their book club.  Lo and behold, she's the one who leads it and I had a great chat.  I have the schedule of books and dates and a couple of books coming to participate.  Now, if I had done self-checkout, I don't think it would of happened.  I am open to self-checkout but just not right now.  I'll warm-up to it.

Keep on influencing, Bubbles.
