A really cool thing about computers is that they make dealing with the library easy...most of the time.  I love the fact that you can go online to search for things you want to read/watch/listen to and you can place a reserve with the click of a mouse.

I love the little emails that come telling me that I have books due soon and, hey, if you would like to renew them or review your account you can do so with the click of a mouse.

Hankering after something to listen to, but don't want to make a trip out...you can download an audiobook...for free...with a few clicks of the mouse. 

On the other hand, you can get an email informing you that something is due and when you go to the stupid website it tells you that that item is on HOLD for SOMEBODY ELSE and NO, you MAY NOT renew it even if your kids are sick and you don't want to leave the house. 

On the same day you can receive another email telling you that a book you've been waiting six weeks for in a queue that numbered 37 at the beginning of the wait, has come in.  Please pick it up or else we will give it to someone else.  AHHHHH!!!!

This afternoon I decided to slip out and pick up, hopefully, the above mentioned book and return the now five days late item.  Of course I decided to do this after my bread was mostly doubled and the library was closing in 30 minutes.  No fear, that's what daughters are for!

When I arrived back the oven was nicely preheated, but daughter dear forgot to put the bread in.  It had not only doubled, it had quadrupled!  I decided that huge or not, it was going in the oven.  Luckily it came out quite tasty, none the worse for the extra rising.

It's hard to tell, but one slice of this loaf is much larger than my whole hand!
