So someone tried to sell me a monkey today. Two ladies came to our staff door at work and wanted me to buy a monkey puppet from them. It appeared to be for some local organization, but I was not able to understand their accents very well enough to determine which one. I glanced at Diane, who was making "no! no!" gestures behind me, and I grinned and said that this is a library and that I didn't believe soliciting was allowed and they went on their merry way. The monkey wasn't very cute anyway.

Note to self: Two things I really need for my kitchen are an electric mixer and a crock pot. I should also learn to keep it clean.
