Going once, going twice...

My apologies bloggiest of the bloggers. I have been swamped at work and seeing as work is the only computer I have daily access to... it affects my blogging. Tomorrow will be no exception. Tomorrow is Staff Development Day. So to be better library workers, we close all the libraries. Why does this sound like an oxymoron or an anymoron...?

We had dogs today at the library. Though I am avowed cat person, I must say they were quite nice. We are talking about starting a program where kids get to read to the dogs. It is mainly for kids to need to work on their readaloud fluency. They do take cats but I know of not one cat that will sit in one place for 15 minutes ... awake. Major confidence killer when the animal you are reading to wanders 5 feet away and starts cleaning itself.

I am thinking of taking next Wednesday off as just a Me Day. I am still debating on traveling in December/January to visit relatives out West. I love to travel and am thinking of dragging P. with me. She'll probably need more of a break than me from work and school.

I had the chance to go to a Graphic Novel workshop last week and it was just great. Mmmmm.. graphic novels... mainly just comics in book format. But I have already or will have gone through all of the X-Men here within the next week. I can totally understand why teens like them so much... hmmm everyone against me, picking on those whose are different, staying up for what's right, major style points, totally different person once you hit puberty... ring a bell, anyone?

Good night and Biff, Bop, Zap! (Batman sounds) : )

Read to dogs... What a great idea! I'd never heard of such a thing before, but it is really a super great idea...

Er... You don't do The Cat In The Hat, do you?
