The Bag Lady was really pleased yesterday afternoon when she went to pick up her mail and discovered a parcel all the way from New York City! Quite some time ago, she won a giveaway on Sagan's "
Living Healthy in the Real World" blog. Sagan was giving away the "Flat Belly Diet" cookbook, and the Bag Lady was thrilled to be one of the recipients! The Bag Lady could definitely use some help in that area (can anyone say "apple-shaped"?) The publisher of the book tried more than once to send the book to the Bag Lady via FedEx. Unfortunately, FedEx does not deliver to people who live in rural areas, and returned the book to the publisher, so the Bag Lady gave the publisher the address of her workplace. She waited and waited, and asked
pissed off the girls who work at the front desk several times if her parcel had come. She finally decided that it wasn't coming at all, and had resigned herself to that fact. BUT, thanks to the determination of Liz C., who works at the publisher, the Bag Lady now has the book in her hands!! And can hardly wait to try the diet! So thank you, Sagan, and thank you, Liz!
In other news.........
Lots of things have been changing in the Bag Lady's life. Last summer, she was approached by the president of the Museum Society in the community where she lives, who asked her if she would be interested in becoming the curator of the new museum. Her first reaction was one of incredulity, coupled with an immediate desire to say yes! She told him that she would have to think about it, but that she was intrigued by the idea. She has pondered and thought, and discussed it with a variety of people and has finally decided to
take the bull by the horns... err.... give it a try. All of which means that she will probably be even scarcer around the blogosphere than she has been recently. But she will still be around occasionally, especially when she has something she absolutely
has to share with all of you! (And if she fails miserably at the curator job, she will come whining back like a whipped pup.....)
