Double Trouble in Walla Walla....

was what I started with this morning. I headed out early to do a reading celebration for a middle high school in the area. It was actually pretty cool and the kids seemed to really enjoy it. I got a chance to talk to the school librarian before I left about school and kids and such.

I had a lovely V-day. It was very cool. We handed out chocolate hearts and I heart my public library stickers to everyone who came in. A lot of the customers seem to really like them. I told one woman that you were supposed to give valentines to those you loved and we loved our patrons.

I also had a valentine's surprise waiting for me at home. B. had gotten me a dozen red roses. They were just beautiful. His present is still on its way.

The caritas got started this morning. I did make it up today and did my working out this morning. Usually my days are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. But I guess Thursday, Friday and Saturday will work this week : )

Good day and give your librarian a hug today : P

Happy Made-Up Holiday!

I am a bit on the fence about this holiday.

I think of it as a made up holiday but this doesn't stop me from wanting all that it symbolizes... love, hearts, valentines, chocolate, flowers, etc...

But I do like having one day where love is the word of the day. But it is a word I hear everyday : ) I don't think that there has been a day since we first told each other "I love you" that I don't hear it from B. Or don't hear it from family or friends or say it first when talking. Or feel it when reading a comment or mentally pray it when reading a blog.

Everyone should get a chance to feel it or hear it everyday. I wish you could...

This reminds me of caritas... It is defined as divine love. But to me it means a sacrifice for another person. When I was younger, we had an event in the episcopal church called Happening. It was a weekend retreat and during this retreat, you got a bag. In this bag there were letters and notes from people you knew who were encouraging you and sacrificing things for you. A small example of that divine love....

So my caritas for you will be getting up and working out at home until Easter. I would normally do this at the gym for $2 a day three days a week. But I'll do it at home and then take the money I would have spent on the gym and donate it. Send me a suggestion of where you would like me to donate it.

Good day and I love you.

Competing for title of Busiest Girl...

Every day seems to be packed right about now. I am currently doing both the manager's and the children's librarian duties right now. Plus on my "down time", I am still keeping up with family and friends and doing all sorts of stuff.

Everyone keeps telling me I look tired. Trust me, I know... I am tired. My brains seem to be going ninety miles an hour even when I am asleep so I don't always feel rested.

P. came into town and arranged a couple of familish outings. It was awesome. I have such a wonderful family. I really liked our family pow-pow time on Sunday. I wish B. could have been there. He was at home feeling under the weather. But it was quality family bonding time : )

I did take home some of their comments about proposals. I told them that he was saving up for a ring. When D. brought up the idea about saving afterwards, I vetoed that. I think of this as my one and only time I will get married and I want it to be right for me. When I told B. about it, he asked about styles I liked and price ranges. That had come up in the discussion as well. I want white gold or platinum setting. I want amthethyst to be the primary stone with diamonds either around it or on the side. P. said sarcastically that I never want something unusual. LOL

LOL This is just me thinking about logistics. But when I actually think think of it, I have to catch my breath. He is beyond wonderful. He is proof of prayers being answered. He isn't perfect but he is perfect for me.

Good night and Zzzzzzzzzzzzz......(hopefully)

The Yang beat up my Ying

LOL Why is it that my life gets so busy of cool blog worthy stuff that I have no time to blog?
