Mom and Dad's garden

Hanging around with Mr. Mark and Monkey


My favorite statue from Mom and Dad's garden

Dive Bomber Monkeys

Mark and a friend

What every blog needs, me in bug eyed glasses : )

Dad has this great post about his garden. We went over to see it in person the other day. Did I take pictures of the beautiful flowers? The giant century plant? The gardeners of this wonderful garden?

No, I got pics of Beloved with the monkeys that are in a small part of the garden. But it makes him laugh which in turn makes me laugh and Mom and Dad rejoice in how happy we are. So not a bad choice of pics after all.

Good day and ee-ee-oo-oo (which may be monkeyish for good day : )

A Hunting we will go

Today B and I went into the bank to apply for a mortage.

Yep, we are going house hunting. Our lease is up in June. Every job opening right now and his job and my job currently are both here. My family is here. Our friends (well a bunch of them : ) are here.

It is an exciting time in our lives. And a bewildering and well, a scary one too. I like the idea of somewhere that is just ours. Well, ours and the cats : P

I'll keep you up to date with the search and feel free to send me tips...

Good night and bring on the boxes.

Refreshing and Renewing (hopefully)

Hello all. I have been a bad blogger recently.

I have been cheating. I've got it bad. I now do a lot of stuff on facebook.

Sigh... can you forgive me?

I am right now in P's spare room. Yep, I made it down to O for the second time in like four months. I am at the FLA conference (better known as the Florida Library Association for you non-librarians out there). It was the first day of the conference and I have really enjoyed myself. Both in conference and out. I got the chance to do breakout sessions about Twitter, Second Life and Teen spaces. I also got to hang out with a favorite couple, P and C : )

Thus far this is my second ever conference and apparently I try to go to the ones in which I can get some family time in too. The last one was in San Jose CA and I got to hang out with Uncle R and Aunt D : )

The conference is a really good tool for refocusing (the one re word I forgot to add to my title). I need to break away from my mundy library life and see what I am doing for the bigger ideals that I have about my library in Evieland. You know.... the place where there are no words like, well, NO : D

I really loved my drive up here too. I took the backways as I so love to do. It did add like 30 minutes to my drive but I knew that driving the regular way I would miss things. Like a bear warning sign for the next 3 miles or the huge grey elephant with a counter for eating at or the Church of the Holy Comforter (which made me laugh for like 10 minutes as I picture the Sacred Duvet and still has me giggling)

Good day and drive well. I'll be back in town on Friday night.
