Backlogs and Booklists
I've been meaning to have somebody take care of this for a while -- in the front of the top drawer of the wide filing cabinet to the right of my desk (and over the river and through the woods) is a batch of files left over from when Anne was here. I went through and got rid of most of the stuff that was in the cabinet originally; this is second run stuff that has craft ideas, activity sheets and the like. So I'd like either M or X (whoever has the least work right now) to please go through what's there, sort it out, offer me suggestions as to what to do with the files, and (where appropriate) interfile them with our present activity sheet cabinet. And whoever is going to do it, please let me know via email, because sometimes I miss comments on this blog. Thanks!
Also, regarding the princess list- M, have you checked the children's catalog yet? I took a quick look and found a number of titles that could round out or beef up a list.

I will check through the stuff in that file and sort it into the collection of craft ideas, etc. that we already have. (AF, is there any way to have the blog automatically e-mail JP with new posts so he doesn't miss anything?)
And thanks for the Children's Catalogue idea!
New posts are not the problem- I generally keep up with those. It's the haphazard way in which the comments are listed that makes it difficult to catch them all if I haven't checked in a few days...
I totally understand--I was just figuring that the good people at Blogger probably have a thingamee you can click that would solve that problem, since we all know computers are smarter than we are!
Oh, and I would dearly love to have a little blogroll-type link to AF's librarything account, the wplkids blog, and maybe even AF's MCLS link. See, she left this pile of cute picture books at the gazebo when she went to lunch today, and now I want to know what SHE thought of them, but I can't figure out how to get THIS blog to cough up her librarything URL, so I'm not getting work done because there's no link here. I figure there's got to be an easier way...
Cool: I solved my own problem by adding links to AF's librarything account and her MCLS articles to the list of "Favorites" on this computer. (I trust it doesn't affect any other computers??!)
Well, ptthhhhbbbbbbbt! Adrienne hasn't posted reviews of any of these books--but I need to know whether she thinks "Belinda and the Glass Slipper" belongs on our princess list? No princess is expressly mentioned, but ballerinas figure large. It even occurs to me that our list might be divided into ballerinas AND princesses, and include MJ Auch's books?? Or am I overreaching...
But all the Barbie books are so popular because they are as much about ballerinas as about princesses, no? What if we just called it our "Tiara" list and had one chunk of ballerinas and one of princesses? Just a thought...I'm still slogging through the royalty question!
Ooooh! So glad I checked WAAAAY down to the end of all the comments. When I'm finished slogging through princesses I'll do battle with the ballerinas.
Maybe you can just call it the "pretty frilly girly booklist"
I personally think that princesses shouldhave their own list, but I'm not going to do anything about it if it doesn't happen that way :). I just want something to give the girls who ask about princesses so I don't have to be around that extreme girliness enough to have it rub off on me...
:) :) :)
