I keep meaning to update and then never get around to it. It’s because there’s so much going on that I feel like it’d take forever to update. I think I’m just going to have to try and post a little at a time to try and catch up. I still can’t believe August is gone; I wasn’t done with it. Continue reading

Back to school
I just finished signing up for an on-line course at Indiana State University. It’s a library science course called “School & Public Library Administration.” I would rather have taken one on material acquisition or cataloguing and cataloguing management. While I sometimes help out a little with what books to get, acquisitions isn’t really one of my responsibilities, and the odds of me Continue reading
Fuel to the fire
Huh. So, uh, remember how I mentioned not being able to sleep or breathe until like, uh, after August? Might make that until after September. One of the local authors contacted me about a fair that takes place in Ferdinand (little town near here) called the Ferdinand Folk Festival. It’s a local thing for artisans, folk musicians, and the like to hang out together and celebrate um, Continue reading
Ah, my life
Sometimes I don’t realize just how nutsy my life is until I start telling people about everything going on. Recently, we had a local author fair at the library with seven authors. Once the number of patrons dropped off and the authors were sitting around chatting, we came up with the idea that it’d be neat to have a booth during the Strassenfest here in Jasper in August. Since I Continue reading
Week’s end
Well, I don’t work again until Monday. Doesn’t mean that the stress is any less prominent. I have a million and one things to do before next week, and while cleaning is one of them, it’s the last thing I want to have to deal with. My crafts stuff is simply all over the place, and I really can’t put any of it up right now because I need it for presents and such. At any rate, I’ve checked out a Continue reading
Erin and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day
First off, I’d like to wish happy birthday to Emmy and Ally! It’s hard to believe that you’re both eleven now! I remember when you were brought home from the hospital, all tiny and squeaky and red. It doesn’t seem that long ago, but I guess it was. Crazy. Hope you both have a great day! Continue reading
Curl up with a good book!
I have made yet another display for the library. This one’s for December/January and is a winter-themed one. I actually came up with the idea several months ago, but it had to be put on the back burner for obvious reasons and because of not having much time to work ahead on such projects. At any rate, I have pictures, and while these were taken with the phone rather than a real camera, Continue reading
Well crap
All right, my sinuses have been kicking my ass for the past couple weeks. First it started out with fatigue and some scary lymph node activity (seriously, who put lymph nodes so close to the breasts? Find a lump in that area and it’s cause for a good week’s worth of panic–which is pretty much exactly what I did), and now it’s converted to the typical headaches/scratchy throat/ Continue reading
Meetings
Let’s see, to recap this week so far before I head out to work. First off, the NaNoWriMo meeting Sunday went pretty well. There were two people there besides me and Ian, and rather than follow the itinerary that I had made, Ian and I instead fielded questions to try and get the two other people there acquainted with what NaNo is and how it works. It would have been nice had Continue reading
Paper shuriken
It was fairly slow this afternoon at work, so I decided to get ahead with my NaNoWriMo projects for the write-ins we’ll (I’ll) be hosting at the library. I’ve already decided to have a different writing activity each week, and so far, I’ve got three different writing activities that I want to do. I don’t have any particular order to the activities yet, so I’ll have to work on which one to Continue reading
