The Joys of Work

Yes, I did survive my vacation. I even had the perfect vacation moment. It was on Sunday afternoon. It was perfect.... pajamas, doing a puzzle, watching a movie, eating Triple Chocolate Hagen-Daz and knowing I didn't have to go to work the next day.

I do really love my job. It fits me to a "T" but I still enjoy the not coming in. I mainly was doing non-productive stuff. Though I did clean my apartment (a necessary task) and got my hair cut (majorly cute).

The Diabetes walk was just great. Way too early but just great. The one we have here in town is around the Zoo and was wicked fabulous. The animals were all out and active. I can't say that I was too though. After many nights of sleeping in until beyond the noon hour, getting up at eight was a bit of a chore. But it was for a really good cause. I wonder when the Heartwalk is going on....

I did get to visit my favorite animal in the zoo. They have a red kangeroo. So not meaning to sound like Dr. Seuss but it just rhymed. I like it because of the story behind it. They originally had nine. Apparently there was a kangeroo plague that killed off the other eight and maimed the remaining one so they had to cut off one paw. He is living with his cousins the wallabies. It always makes me ponder. How would I do in a major crisis? Most of my slowdowns have been bumps, not hills and definitely not mountains... I'd like to think that I could handle it with peace and dignity and a rubber chicken. Yes, a rubber chicken is a necessity.

Hazel is at home now in recovery. I got her spayed just the other day. She seems to be bouncing back very quickly. I think she was quite happy to leave the vet. She actually purred while in the car. Normally she meows pitifully. Her tummy is all shaved but she is eating normally and acting like she feels just fine. I was a wee bit worried about how she would do since it was actual surgery.

Oh and more news on the snake front... OMGoodness, what will they do next. I leave my staff for a couple of days and they leave me a dead snake. Apparently there was one right outside the front door and one of my patrons decided to take care of it for us.... with a dumbell. A dumbell dropped on a snake... I've since gotten the number of our local fire guys so that they get to be the ones to deal with it next time. We've probably become part of a snake scary story. All the little snakes curl up to hear again the story of the Dumbell of Death... LOL

Good day and at least our readers are health concious...

Gone to the Dogs...

Okay so it is more like reading to the dogs. This is just one shot from our Roll Over and Read program that we hosted last Saturday. We had about 10 kids and 3 dogs. It was so awesome! They did say that they use therapy cats but I know my three would either wander 5 feet away, fall asleep or begin cleaning themselves. None of these things insprire great self esteem if you are trying to build it up.

I probably won't be around for the weekend as I am taking a long weekend from work. Ah the stresses of the library world : P have gotten to me. What do you mean you lost the book! I am so sicking the library police on you!!! But I hope you all have a fabulous weekend. Myself, I am hoping that the weather will stay beautiful so I can head to the beach and so it won't rain on my walk. I have almost made my goal for the walk. I think it is just going to be really great. My staff kidded me this morning and told me that they are going to sponsor on for walking around the library. I told them it was more dangerous than the zoo. At least at the zoo they warn you that wild animals are there. Around our library heavens know what could be lurking out there...

Good day and I'll get you my ugly-challenged person, you and your non-tall non-feline mammal too. (I'm reading Wicked by Gregory Maguire)

What a Conwinkydink?

Is it all random? Or is there some plan to our lives? I remember being told when I was little to stay in one place when you are lost. Is that true nowadays? I'm feeling a wee bit lost today. It's like I am driving with no particular destination. I have also heard it said that if you stay where you are, that everyone in your life will eventually walk past. There are a couple I may been majorly tempted to kick or trip as they walk past though. Would you want everyone in your life to wander back into it? Or are they like "Dumb and Dumber" only to be endured once?

What got me on this particular thought pattern was Dad's Blog I read it this morning just after signing up for the American Diabetes Association walk for here in Jacksonville FL. His blog was all about giving and mine (prior to reading his) was going to be about asking people to sponsor me. Too weird... he talks about giving in secret and here I was about to ask you all to give pretty darn publicly... at the website no less! So insert basic donate money here speal here and consider yourself asked. If you can, do and if you can't, pray. It'll be like donating time : )

I have only once truly given in secret. It is a tough thing to do. It is hard not to go up to them and tell them what a good thing I did for them. But that would be for my glory and not for God's . It's weird and good and bad the things we chose to keep secret. Back again to the power of words.

Okay so enough of my musings... I did my favorite thing on Sunday... absolutely nothing. I had enough energy to go to lunch with J and P and then back to my house for a nap : O It was actually a lovely day of snuggling with kitties and reading and watching television. I had hoped to clean house but decided it would be better kept to today. Hopefully I can tackle some of it when I get home tonight. It isn't so bad but it needs to be done. Oh, and I did finally get my lightbulbs replaced. Somehow in the span of a couple of days three out of 6 rooms went out.

Good day and let there be light and it was fantabulous!!

A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Library...

Okay so it wasn't actually a funny thing. It was more like a scary slightly disturbing thing but that has a hard time fitting in the title box. I had stopped to get gas so I could actually make the 20+ miles to work. I stopped at my normal on the way to work gas place which is usually decent cheap. Though it never ever fails that I pass someone just a bit cheaper further down. Oh well... There is a vaccum/detailing place right next door to my gas place. I had just started to get ready to pump when this one guy ran up to a guy walking on the other side of my pump and started a yelling match between them. I was just a wee bit concerned.

Okay, I was more than a wee bit. The one guy who was walking finally walked away. But once he got a bit further away, he was still yelling at the guy. I can only guess that he said something to the guy detailing his car that majorly upset him. At least that is what they were yelling about and inserting curse words like crazy.

It reminded me of what I had been thinking about while reading this graphic novel series "Y: The Last Man". It is the story of how all the men are struck down in a plague that kills everything male but one guy and his monkey. It then covers the resulting lives afterwards of the women. Both of these things got me thinking about the nature of violence. I don't understand the whole concept. Is it more gender specific or is it more societially acceptable in one sex or the other?

I also thought about that saying of "The pen is mighter than the sword" and it is not true. The words that the pen wrote are mighter. They try to teach you in kindergarden to not eat paste, share with others and don't say bad things about each other. You know that it hurts so why do it? I love words. For a number of years I have worked with and around kids so the normal things you say when you stub your toes are out. So I have taken to use the word "bugger" for my curse word. It is socially acceptable, the kids think it is so funny and you get to vent properly. LOL

Oh and the reading of graphic novels is not just a fluke. I read tons of them. I have a huge comic book collection too. I am currently making my way through the Sandman while waiting for the library to get in the next Y:The Last Man and Fables. Too many books to read... the library has a limit of 50 items on your card at one time. I keep overshooting that limit : ) I think I was the only patron who was really upset when they put the limit on. Though my protest of "BUGGER!!!!" was not heard by the uppers. It was probably more like a internal protest. : P All I can say is thank goodness for overrides....

Good day and it's a bird, it's a plane, it's Evey-Q!

I thought so hard that I broke my brain...

That's it. I am swearing off thinking. I think too much. Or at least I have a headache so that's my only solution to why. I hosted a meeting here at the branch today. You know the Sesame Street game where they sing "One of these kids is doing their own thing" and you have to find the kid that just doesn't fit. That is me and I like that. I like doing my own thing.

Speaking of doing my own thing, I had a nice long conversation with myself the other day. LOL When they told us to choose a path in life, I chose the pyscho path... j/k. I saw it on a tshirt the other day. But the conversation had to do with my 3 to 5 year plan. Though at present it is more like a goal. Though I do have some to dos mixed in there. I want to be settled in a location working in a library. The preferable location is overseas but there are still factors to consider. The 5 to 10 year plan is based in the idea that I will be settled and what I want after that happens. Though at current it is sounding more like a prison sentence. How long you here? 3 to 5 years though I may get time off for good behavior.

I'd like a sign from God... preferably a neon one. Or at least a Burma shave one....

Good day and Choose This One, Eve O : )

Chicken Decapitated Syndrome

Or for those not awake this morning, running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I've got monthly statistics to turn in this morning thus the whole CDS. I wonder if I can buy insurance for that... we had a visit from our voluntary insurance guy this morning. I don't know if I can handle death and dismemberment this early in the morning.

I mainly just talked with him about IRAs. Mmmmm... money : P It so does not make the world go round but it pays for a nice seat on the merry-go. As of yet, I have never consider myself poor. Even growing up, I knew we didn't have much at all but I never thought of us as poor. To me we laughed too much to be poor. I always imagined the almost teary, very serious Sally Struthers begging, people as poor. I do remember celebrating when checks came in though. Now I tend to think of money as paper. It tends to lose its hold when you think of it that way. Or P. has a great way to think about it. She sees it as hours worked. That really helps when I am trying to decide whether I want to splurge on something or not. Is that skirt really worth a day of my working? Skirts it will buy but not the truly important things.

Gifts/fruits of the world, yes... gifts/fruits of the spirit, no. Love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance...how much would any of us pay if they could truly be bought.

That would be one heck of an ebay auction LOL.

Good day and peace be with you... that'll be $ 19.95 : P

God's Dry Cleaning

Okay, so the sign actually said Good Dry Cleaning but how cool is what I thought I saw. God's Dry Cleaning... no stain too tough and mention that you just love my son and get 100% off. I have never understood the mysteries of DRY cleaning. Sounds like a miracle to me : )

So I made a midnight run the night before tonight and had a Krystals' hangover. The midnight run is a parental unit invention. When we were growing up, we would beg our parents to go get donuts late at night. We all pile into the car in our pajamas and head to whatever donut place was open. It was simply the best. So in their honor, I ran up to Krystals the other night in my pjs and got Krystals. For one brief second I thought of calling a parent or sibling but it was midnight. I figured on the way home I would have to start pre-arranging my MNRs if I wanted to have company.

We are all dressed up at work today. I've got a gypsy, cat, and pirate on staff today. I love Halloween. I love the idea of dressing up and getting to pretend. But I keep forgetting about my wings (no, not angel I am that the other 364 days... I'm a butterfly fairy). I've got another foot to add to my shoulder width. We are having an anime costume party tonight with some lovely "Fear Factorish" treats. We're having kitty litter cake, chocolate covered worms, snot on a stick and blood punch with frozen hands. YUM!! I'll let you know how it goes...

Ghoul day and have a horribly happy Halloween!

Yippy Skippy!

I love getting my own email. Not the junk mail that gets to everyone and their llama. But mail just for me. I found out this morning that my brother J. is coming down in December and has granted my birthday wish to be taught how to waltz. I have already told him to bring his steel toed boots.

I am so thankful that right now as I sit in my office writing this, life is good. My cats are all healthy. ..once Hazel got over whatever she had and I had my slight scare with Henri (he had a day and a half of being sick). They are loving that I drug out the comforter the other night. It has been getting down into the 40s here at night and with no C&A... it's like a meat locker with tv. It is the only time that they will sleep with me. It's not love, it's survival : P

My family is just the best. We rally together so well and every getting together is filled with laughter. And stories... always stories. We are all born storytellers. We must get that from Dad who is a great writer. Plus we're all weird... we get that from Dad too :P

My job is great too. I have a wonderful staff who just fit together so perfectly. We are a really good balance. It makes my running of the place so easy. This place is the perfect idea of community from both the patrons and the staff.

Can you tell I am an optimist yet? Life falls into place with this simple saying: God is Good. Has life ever been bad? Yes plenty of times. There have been times when I thought it was bad and even times when I thought to be nothing would have to be better than this. Yet even in these darkest of times for me, He was and still is there. It reminds me of those stereographic pictures that were really popular a couple of years ago. You stare and stare and stare at them looking for whatever was supposed to be in the picture. You'd swear that they were a crock and then pop... you finally see it. It was there all along right in front of your face. Looking for God is a stereographic picture. LOL Though I never have gotten one of things to work... at least not all the way. I would start to see a piece and then lose it.

I could make this into a country song... Looking for God in all the wrong places...LOL

Good day and look hard.

Be Wery Wery Quiet... We're Hunting Patty

This is an all points bulletin for Patti. I know she is alive because I talked to her Tuesday. She was entertaining a guest and she pinky swore to call me back. But no such luck.

Otherwise all is well here. I hope all is fab with you too.

Good day and Happy Hunting

Insert Something Witty Here________________

This is the first day since starting here as manager that I have felt stressed. My day started with a fendish cat who would not let me sleep in. Pat my face, dig in claws, in my ear purring.... UGH! Alright I'm up already.

Next came the call from a sick staff person. My mind attempts to grasp the whole rearrange scheduling thing but it is still too sleepy. It takes me an hour after getting here to figure it out. You just take several deep breathes, allow your mind to calm down and yell HELP!!!! I will have some for my end of the day which is a bit of a stress reliever.

I also had to take care of the money today. I haven't done it in a while and I think I was cursed with the week that all sorts of mess broke lose. One thing didn't void properly and there was at least one miskey. Which I then have to show and sign off on in triplicate. Save a Tree... Rent a DVD : P

Ever now and again I had being a grown up. This could have been influenced by my watching Peter Pan last night. The work, the driving, the money, the responsibilities... It is a rather good thing tomorrow is my day off. Perhaps I'll do something outrageous like get up early :P

Oh and for all of you wondering how Sunday went. I am still on the fence about A. He has potential but I am still not certain. I am hoping that another date will settle it. But this time I have to be more vocal. We spent the entire time in the bookstore which was great. But I kept being distracted by books and didn't spend nearly enough time talking to him.

Note to self: Must call G tonight. I hate to go through him to get to P. It helps that he is a really nice guy.

Au revoir and always dance in your pjs!

As Promised

I figured everyone is pretty visuals... so here are some pretty visuals from my vacay at Three Rivers State Park and the Florida Caverns! If you are looking for peace and quiet, check this place out...

Where There's Smoke....

The week has been another exciting one here at the branch and personally too. Hazel is on the mend and doing wonderfully. She is back to her oh-so quirky self. LOL But so am I.... : P She still is continuing to make the bathroom her oh-so cool hangout spot.

We had a fire drill this week and a pygmy rattler visit last week. The fire drill was just great. A weird thing to say about a fire drill but very true. We got everyone out to the parking lot and learn just how to shut the darn thing off. Then the fireguys ( in the name of gas saving) made this a combo trip and checked books, CDs, etc. out. Dad says that it is one way to boost our circulation : )

The snake was a whole other kettle of fish ( and we have those too by the way). One of the patron came in and talked to my children's librarian, took her outside and then they came to get me. I however did not go outside. There was a pygmy rattler just outside by the walkway for the bookdrop. We were a bit in a tizzy as what to do. This was not covered in my policies or my procedure manual. Thankfully by time we finished closing up for the night, it had found a better place to sun. Eek... One of my staff wondered why we didn't just shoot it. She had a pistol in her truck for that very purpose. I wonder if I could that by my boss... I'm thinking no... When I did email her for more instructions she suggested asking one of our fireguys who are just over the hill. So we did and he very calmly suggested getting a snake shovel. I'm a city girl and have no idea what a snake shovel is. He told us it is like a snow shovel. You hit the snake with the flat end to knock him out and then the square end is used to slice his head off.

Ummm being the boss is great. I just turned to my token guy (Libraries just don't attract a lot of guys) and delegated him to be the offical snake shovel handler. Ahhh! I love to assign tasks. : P

Speaking of guys, I have a date with one of those creatures on Sunday. We're supposed to meet at a bookstore ( a very dangerous store for me to be in) and have coffee. I have been talking to him via phone for most of this and last week. We get along great on the phone so I have high hopes for a F2F meeting. It will also hopefully make up my mind as to whether he would be a possible boy friend or boyfriend. I am a bit nervous about the whole deal as I haven't dated much since stalker boy and have never done the whole online dating and meeting. I have told everyone I know about the date (including you blog persons) and am meeting in a public place. I have also googled him, asked for more photos and looked him up on the public records and corrections site (Thanks for the advice, big brother ). Ah amore!

Good day and when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie...

Ciao!

Gone Wishin'

My deepest apologies everyone. I hadn't been kidnapped by weird shoe fetish aliens with suicidal tendencies. Last week was a manic week of highest highs and lowest lows. Due to expected craziness of the week, I decided to pack up and leave town. I headed off to Sneads, FL. Home of the nothing special. But it did have a very nice state park in Three Rivers State Park. It had one and only one cabin which I took over for a couple of nights.


It was peaceful personified. I chilled there and also went adventuring in the Florida Caverns. It was just lovely... I hope to get the photos posted soon. I took Dad's advice and took 90 all the way across. I must have gone through at least a dozen little towns. It really was a great drive over all. With the exception of the love bug love fest on my bug...: P I had to stop at least twice to clean off my windshield so I could see to drive.

I really didn't see that much in the way of wild life. I could never decide if I should walk quietly to see the animals I did want to see or loudly to keep away the animals I didn't want to see. I did see a flock of quail eating by the side of park road and a humming bird that came right up to the door of the cabin. Very cool beans!

But the rest of the week and a little of the first part of this week was wretched and beyond. My littlest cat Hazel had gotten very sick and was unable to eat or keep anything down. She lost a lot of weight and I was very scared for her. I took her in on Tuesday and got antibotics. But the stuff they gave to keep her from vomiting so did not work. I had to work on Saturday so Donald my brother took her back in for more test ( Major major gratitude for that... that was definitely brother of the year kudos for that). I didn't want to go home most nights for fear that I would find her either sicker or not alive.

But for the first part of the week she didn't get any worse and she did stop throwing up. She still wasn't eating so I headed out and got some baby food. She ate it! And as of yesterday, she went back on her regular food. YAY!!!!!!!!! They never did figure out what was wrong with her. They warned me that she might get sick again after the antibotics if it is something wrong with her. Hopefully not. Fingers crossed and mucho prayers for that not to happen.

As far as the rest of my week, I'm still emailing A. He sent me his cell number and we talked for about 2 hours last night. I had to beg out kind of early as I wasn't feeling good. But he is very cool and funny.

Good day and TTFN

Tired tired tired

Hmmm... not hard to guess how I am feeling right now. It is the end of the work day and all I am hoping for is a nice quiet bed. It makes me even more tired to think that tomorrow is an early day. Ugh! It doesn't help that next week is a majorly busy one. Time to look into another personal day... I need a vacay. Or at least a minibreak. One with time to read and no deadlines on my plate. One more thing to research.

I spent part of today investigating a Batman storyline for a staff worker. And another part of it working on making finances work out due to a cancelled guest pass. Like I said major time for beddy bye.

Good night and sweet dreams..

Pissing Cats

I had a lovely day off yesterday. I washed my car (evil though it is), cleaned out my pantry and enjoyed a lovely morning/afternoon of sleeping in. I needed it... today has been quite crazy for a Saturday. For one, there are people here. Or at least more than the normal amount. That and I am getting mucho complaints about the grass. It is prairie grass and it is supposed to be tall but the community obviously doesn't like tall grass. This is the most vocal community I have been in yet. I am beginning now to understand why they chose not to drop a day around here. Imagine the complaints we would get about that!

I heard back from M. She is doing okay but was a bit down from all the testrostone flying round her way. She is surrounded by guys so it is a bit to be expected. Once things get settled around here, I want to go visit her. It has just been ages since I've seen her. I think the last time was at the wedding and she was a bit preoccupied with everything else:) I also got a call from R. yesterday. He sounds older. I didn't even recognize him on the phone. We are going to try and coordinate schedules so that we can get together for lunch. I've heard of strategic strikes that are easier to plan!

I've got another recruit for the Operation Love Match. J from work is determined to get me set up. Her first suggestion was just a wee off base though. It was the eighteen year old she was checking books out to. I told her to skip the formalities and cut straight to the jail house. He does have an older brother though... a definite possibility.

Nothing back from the cruise ship yet. At this moment I just need info to help me decide whether or not it is even a possibility.

Oh the title! R. was filling me in on the fact that he has a depressed cat. Through my laughter, I had the inspiration to ask how exactly one knows the a cat is depressed or not. Apparently, pissing on everything is a pretty good indication that your cat is unhappy. Obviously mine are pretty content though Hazel does piss on my bed but only when she is in heat. She's getting fixed in about 2 or 3 weeks. Fingers crossed that this behavior doesn't continue about being fixed.

Good day and as promised Annie on Acid

Annie gone bad

I decided this morning that it is what I look like. I am taking over two storytimes for my children's person and decided to dress up for one of them. The main character looks like

and I will have to post my pics after the storytime. Thank goodness the other storytime is on Humor and I can get away with looking like Annie on Acid... It is a good story however. The things I do for my job.

I wrote M and R a day or so ago but have only heard back from R. You would think that it would be easier in this day and with this technology to keep up with people. I have done a pretty bad job of that. But M I apologized to and R I just ragged about not keeping up with me. But it is my job ( one of many) to pick on R. My life's work : P He seems to be doing okay. He's got awoman and cats :) I wish I knew of a better job for him. I really wish he could have kept up with school. I want him to be happy in all aspects of his life not just some. Weird though it is when talking of an ex. We drove each other crazy in good way and bad. But he is also the only one I kept up with. He is the only one that I thought of (outside of everything) as a truly good guy. Does this mean the rest of the guys I dated have to wear black in my spaghetti western? No the others had shades of good and bad. They'll be wearing grey. Dark grey some of them....

Good day and yippee -ka- yaw- yay!

Coo, coo, coo...

Pigeons have been trained by the U.S. Coast Guard to spot people at sea. This was my Snapple fact of the day. I love it. What line of the budget is that one in? Well, we'll provide $ 15 million to the Coast Guard for boats, crew, training and pigeons? Coo, coo, coo-coo... little Timmy's lost off the Coast of Palm Coast. We'll get right on it, Pigeon Toad. Another fine rescue!

I have spent the afternoon grave hunting. No, it is not something all the cool librarians are doing. I am hunting for the grave of a particular person that is the great uncle of another particular person. I have narrow it down to two possible cemeteries. Can we say field trip? I wonder if the library will fund my mileage for that one : ) Actually I came across a cool article on a class of elementary students who did go on a field trip to the cemetery and other cool points in the city. They were studying city history ( I should write the teacher and make Dad's book required reading for the class: )

Just a normal day here in LibraryLand. I did send it my resume and letter to the cruise people. What an awesome job title for hopefully a very awesome job. I wonder if they have a club. The Cruise Ship Librarians. Talk about exclusive...

Good day and happy digging!

Tapping at my chamber door...

P. and I watched "The Crow" Thursday night and thus the quote to begin us off. He misquoted it though seeing as it was from "The Raven" and he was the crow but same family. Speaking of family, I got back from P's this morning to work. I do miss my cats when I am gone but I will see them after work today. She is going to be just fine. I hunted up a great opportunity to work in the Reading Room/Library of the College of Vet Med. It sounded right up her alley and it was for the university so there is the possibility of tution coverage for a couple of classes.

I revamped my resume this morning and will be sending it off on Monday for the cruise offer. Car, apartment, cats, job and family... My ties to here :)I have some friends but not any near and dears here. Each day brings new possibilites. Today could be the day I (fill in the blank). I know, I know. I sound like an afterschool special. LOL.

Good day and vivent le reve!

And I ran, I ran so far away....

Eighty song lyrics get stuck in my head occasionally. Whenever they make the movie of my life ( and you know they won't be able to resist:), the soundtrack will definitely be memorable. I am currently housing myself in Gatorville for my day off. I've come down for two reasons. I didn't want to get blown away by Ophelia (out damn hurricane out) and I needed to come visit P. She's got some major stuff going on. She resigned from her job due to worries that she might be fired. She also isn't able to continue classes this semester due to finances.

I figured it was best to make sure everything would be okay with her most of all. She is my favorite little sister by the way. It helps that I have no others to get jealous of that fact. She is doing fine though. She is working parttime at a soon to be opened coffee bar and helping with the manual side of setting up i.e. painting, moving supplies, etc. I am not sure what she wants to do next. J. is wanting her to move back home but I know that she loves here so very much. God, I just want her to be happy regardless.

On my front, I just got an email from a friend about positions open on Celebrity Cruises for a librarian. I have thought long and hard about it and I am going to send them my resume. They only sign contracts for 6 months with the option to resign at the end of it. It should like a great opportunity. With only one life, I have got to enjoy it. Maybe there should be prayers for all of us... with Ophelia, D and H dating, J and P selling the house and M and D hanging in there...

Good day and smooth sailing to you!

Blub, Blub, Blub

Why did I ever think that managing would be less of a job than children's? It must have been the day my brain accidentally got hit by the shrinking ray and became dino-brain sized. I have been utterly too busy to blog. GASP! I know I know... major faux paw...

It seems I missed my Labor Day for all the sleeping I did. But I have been staying up with Stephen King and he is just so darn hard to put down. Of course, all the scary reading means that I have to read something happy before I go to sleep to hopefully ward off the nightmares. So it is Tommyknockers and Duh! Stupid Things of Human History... LOL

One cool point of interest: I was written up in the newspaper. So, okay it was my library that was the main focal point but I got my picture in it and a couple of quotes to boot. Very cool stuff. This is only the second time in my library career that this has happened. The last time I was in the Advocate. Though I had to be so careful in telling people this. Why? Because they are the same people who had a Wall of Shame and publish pics of johns and prostitutes. Before you get any ideas about my "library", I was in the Advocate when they hosted a program promoting literacy for kids. :P

I went to A's wedding this weekend. Very cool. I looked Fabulous but nary a cute guy in sight. A and her fiance had a deal where neither would invite anyone they had dated to the wedding. It made for a small wedding reception:) If this keeps up, J is going to go through with her threat of calling Oprah and getting me on the show. This week on Oprah, "Marry my Sister or Else!" LOL Okay, God, we all know that the not-good-enoughs have had their day... let's bring on the absolutely-made-fors.

Good day and what if the hokey pokey IS what it's all about?
