Requesting a book.

Hi, I was at the library a few days ago trying to request a book. When I tried it said that it was denied and listed a few reasons as to why. I went up to the counter and asked the librarian if anything was wrong with my card. She said no, and to just try again. I went to go try again and it didn't work. I then decided to look for another book, and request it. When I requested it, it worked. Why did it work for one book, but not the other? How can I get the book on my request list if it won't work?

ipad1 kit

Hi,

I just borrowed the ipad kit yesterday from the library and was wondering if there is a way to access the internet browser. I cannot find the safari browser on it, has this been disabled?

Walked for 40 minutes

Okay, so today's workout was more Conquer it then Be Well and definitley not Love it!   Today was a very low energy day (quite atypical for me).  Working out was a struggle. Walked to the park at the end of my street and then around the track once and then I continued on into the nature preserve at the back of the park.  Challenged myself to take a hilly path I haven't taken before.  It was steep and challenging and I admit that when I got home 40 minutes later I was glad that I kept my exercise commitment.

Watched Singin' in the Rain on the Big Screen *swoon*

I went with some family to what used to be Canton Cinema 6 to see Singin' in the Rain on the big screen. It was fabulous. Clearly sponsored by Turner Classic Movies, one of the best parts was the introduction, when host Robert Osborne interviewed Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor, among others, about the making of the movie. It was a great experience. My favorite dance number was Moses Supposes, followed closely by Good Mornin'. If you missed it:

Made Hobo Chicken for dinner with friends

Hobo Chicken is a family favorite at our house,

Put chicken, potatoes, onions, Brussels sprouts, carrots and parsnips in a sealed foil package and bake at 450 degrees for 2 hours.  The house smells good, the chicken and veggies come out perfect and it's a treat for any palate!
