Job anyone???

Today I was offered a job at a local non-profit agency that advocates for girls. This is a social cause that I truly believe in with my whole heart! Now the dilemma. Do I leave liberry land and all my cuties. My two years of time here? It's not a lot of money, but at least it is more money. The insurance is about the same. Everything else is pretty much comparable. Hmmmm. What to do? Where to go?

Reader's Advisory

At the liberry I am currently taking a class called Reader's Advisory. Yes, while on my road to becoming a liberrian, I have to take classes and work on my knowledge of the various genres within the liberry. UGH!!! I like certain types of books, like most of us do! I like psychological thrillers, true crime, and biographies- yes, usually true crime biographies. This month- Horror! Tomorrow morning we discuss our horror book picks. I chose Misery by Stephen King. Yes, the horror writer of all time. Why didn't I pick Poe or Bram Stoker??? Stuff I have already read?! I am having the toughest time with this. Really, I am. I have to finish writing my annotation to present, and I can't get past the first couple of chapters. Wish me luck! I think the next genre is Romance. So, everyone start thinking about your favorite romance read!

In Memoriam

A week ago today, Buddy, a.k.a. Mr. B., passed away. He was a wonderful soul. He was always there to love on you and lean against you. He was a wonderful friend and companion to Kram. Although I was never allowed to dog sit him- I would have let him break too many rules- I loved him as one of my own babies. He was very handsome and quite the lady's man too!! Mr. B- we love you!

The Momma is Well!

So Momma went back to school yesterday! She said her second graders were soooo happy to see her. Her ears are still very stopped up, but she can breathe and sleep and fix her own dinner and wash her own clothes.... RELIEF!! Be gone you pneumonia!! Be gone!
