Yuck.

What a horrible no-good rotten day. It started out pretty nice. A good layer of snow, but not too much. A little wet and slushy, but still pretty. Then it started to get darker. And the rain came. Cold weather and rain do not agree with me. Nor should they agree with you. Rain and cold weather lead to ice, and unfortunately, ice leads to slippery roads and I do not like slippery roads. Luckily, my car can handle slippery roads pretty well, but the real question is, can I handle the slippery roads?

One google search and I find out…

Today is E.C. Segar’s 115 birthday! You might not know who he is, but at my house Segar is AWESOME! Segar is the creator of Popeye. My son loves the DVDs and my husband has been reading the complete Popeye collection.

Check out this website to learn more about E.C. Segar.

Here at Chili we have some of the Popeye books and a couple DVDs:

Popeye the sailor man: classic cartoons: 75th anniversary collector’s ed.
70 years of Popeye

Why not come in and check them out?

Wild December music to listen to…

This is a song by Kate Bush that some teens made a video. Kate Bush is ridiculously amusing and so is this video. Enjoy!

Its beginning to look a lot like

The holidays! Come on into the library and check out our holiday decor! Here’s a little sample of our decorations…

Call of the Wild

I just finished reading Call of the Wild for the Big Read program that’s happening in the spring. Its not a book that I would normally read, but I really enjoyed parts of it.
The book is a little violent. People are abusive to the dogs and the dogs are abusive to the dogs and to people. It takes place in Alaska and is told from the perspective of one of the dogs, who’s name is Buck. He doesn’t start out as a pack dog, but grows accustomed to the life. He finds that not only does he like the life, but he wants to be pack leader and he goes to whatever length possible to do it.
The humans in Buck’s life are all very different. Some are indifferent, some violent and in a few small instances, humans have a good impact in his life.
I hope that you decide to read it and join us for a great discussion. The book discussion for the whole family will take place on Tuesday, January 12 from 6:30 – 7:30 PM. Hope to see you there!

It’ll get stuck in your head, but its worth it!

This is a new Muppets video in which they remake Bohemian Rhapsody. Yay! Enjoy!

One more of things to be thankful for

Games! Especially card games! I love getting together with friends or family (or even better, both) and sitting around playing card games. It usually ends with snorting in laughter or screaming and throwing cards, but either way, I love it. Some of my favorites are Apples to Apples, In a Pickle or if I’m playing with my four year old, Uno.

Making snow globes today

I’m thankful for all the talented teens out in the world, because unfortunately I’m neither a teen anymore nor am I artistic, even though I thought I had some wicked snow globe making. Alas, I was sadly mistaken.

Hopefully yours will look as rad as this one (I’m sure they will)… my sample snow globes look pretty sad right now.

Day four of thanks

Today I am thankful that my mom hosted Thanksgiving and I just had to make cole slaw and jello so that I didn’t have to clean my house. YAY! Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving today!
