Why is it...?

When I have bedtime stories, I end up wanting to just go home and go to bed?

that I got done with HP 6 today with just enough time to get dressed and come to work?

I feel torn in two directions with a question asked of me about a loan of money?

with each kids' program I get to do, I feel more and more like less and less of being a manager?

I feel like I am so busy that I have to pencil people in?



Good night and ?

HP 7

Okay, I can deal with most temptation. Chocolate, sex, food, etc. But what is proving way mondo tempting right now is a book.





But not just any book.


A book I have been anxiously waiting for and counting down the days to the day it is released. Which will be tomorrow. Have you guessed it yet?

I have it in my posession right now. It is in a box in my office. But due to some major jinxes and mondo huge hexes, there it will have to sit until tomorrow. Until now, I never wished to be an open 24 hours type of library...

I've been re-reading one through six these last couple of weeks. And yes, I did see the newest movie just days ago. But none of this enters into my head which can feel that box just sitting there.

But tomorrow will be here soon enough. And I will have a book to read. Sometimes the ancipation can be the greater joy: )

Good day and draco dormiens nunquam titillandus!

Head Up

Who knew such wisdom could come from a cash register?

Head Up is an error message that happens when you don't close the printer slot properly. Someone changed the roll that was empty but forgot to close the printer slot.

For me, this was a message. All I wanted to do this morning was keep my head down and go about my normal day. But nothing about my days is ever normal. Case in point, Saturday. Even with the massive down pour of rain that started just before 1 pm, we still had 603 people in our gate count for our branch b-day party. We had it all though.... clowns

the medical examiner,

Polynesian dancers,

and so much more. It was just wonderful... even with the torrential rains that opened up almost directly at 1pm : P We had kids crafts, face painting, balloon animals, and one minute mysteries. I am so pleased with my staff and all the presenters on how well it turned out. I was all bubbles and enthusiasm until about 4:00. That was when I finally sat down and really exactly how wiped I was. But it was a good tired. It was a great day. But I am quite glad that a birthday only comes once a year : )

Good day and happy birthday to you!

Naive Eve

I had a friend in college when I have just a bajillion nicknames who called me Nevie. She said it should for Naive Eve. Even with all my smarts and wisdom, I still feel that way. Particularly now. Someone that I believed in has been shattered. Into a million billion little pieces. Each of those pieces is like a dagger to my heart.

This doesn't make me love her any less. Nothing would cause that.

But I am so heartbroken over this turn of events. I felt yesterday as if I finally understood why ancient Jews tore their clothes and poured ashes on their heads. I wanted to. I told B that I felt as if I were in mourning. Mourning for the potential and greatness that I saw in flickers around her.

I am better today. It still hurts and I'm really not sure when we will sit down with her. B had a job interview in town today. He seems to think that it went really well. He (as always) has been really great and given me several extras hugs. We're hiding away for the fourth though. No phones, lock the doors and pull down the shades kind of hiding. Very good balm for the souls of both of us.

Good day and I'll be back Thursday.
