I pretty much tackled her.
But we miss her around these parts.
Sadly I talked to her for like 5 seconds before I had to present the Curious George stuff - again! - you'd think I'd have it memorized by now.
Ha, right.
Scroll down a few posts and you'll get what I'm talking about.
They were putting up the panels for the displays as I was leaving. Should be all ready by opening tomorrow, woohoo!
Day flew by fairly quickly, checked in six carts in an hour, updated the TAB website, OH! sent them a challenge...
It's Teen Read Week - oh yeah, happy teen week read, btw oh and last week was banned books week, i totally sent a letter to my former children's lit professor as we have become pen pals - and we have this site that the awesomeness that is Info-Man has created that houses reviews and booklists and links - it's the one site I submitted my Hunger Games and The Help booklists to. Anyway, there's a staff review section to it that I contribute to, though not lately, my bad, but there's also a customer review section as well. Let me know if you're interested I'll send you the link.
Anyway, Info-Man was saying how he got all these great customer reviews from one of the other library's teen volunteers so since it is Teen Read Week I sent out an email to my TAB kids with a competition to see who could post the most reviews by the end of the week.
They don't have to read/watch/listen to the stuff this week, they just have to have read/watched/listened to it in the past and make sure it's in the collection for it to count.
We'll see if anyone participates, but I there will be a prize for the winner.
Though I'm guessing I already know who that will be.
But we'll see, I'm constantly surprised by these kids.
I'm hoping I will be tomorrow as well. We're doing out artwork project day - well, afternoon, literally. They're coming in 1-5, well I'll be there 1-5 they can show up whenever and leave whenever - but we're going to be making artwork to decorate the Young Adult area as it has white walls and is very blah-ish.
So we'll design some new signage, color some posters to hang around - I'm thinking of like having them draw out their favorite scenes or do some cool calligraphy of classic quotes or something so it's all literature-related - and then make up some cool bookmarks to have laminated and cut out.
We gotta spice the place up a bit as it is like the only wall in the building not colored.
So we'll see who shows up. I basically have it 1-5 because it's their day off and half of them could make it before 3 and the other half couldn't make it until after 3. But like I said, they're teens so we'll see if they're actually interested and want to take part or if they're feigning interest and would rather sleep or something.
Not that I'd blame them, it is their day off and sleep is pretty awesome.
I mean, I'd rather be sleeping.
Right now I mean, not then.
I'm excited for then, right now I'm toast but I gotta shower and do homework before I can go to bed.
It's only 11, I got time. As long as I'm out by 1 I'm usually pretty good the next day. Any later than that and things can get questionable.
I would have started earlier except you know The Voice and Castle were on, and I can't focus with them on in the background. Other shows I can pull that off.
The battles weren't like super exciting tonight. I mean, they were okay, but nothing as spectacular as Trevin Hunte vs Amanda Brown. That was awesome and I'm glad she got saved.
Scroll down a few, I posted it at some point this past week.
Though I'm guessing no future ones will really be even close to that one.
Or maybe they will, I mean almost half of my top 20 still has yet to battle and the only two I've lost are Nelly's Echo and 2Steel Girls.

I think I need a new vacuum. The big one that I have doesn't work properly though that's probably because I don't have any replacement bags, and then the smaller one works but the battery constantly needs charging.
I attempted to clean tonight after work but the motivation didn't last long when the vacuums weren't working. Will work on that more later. Think tomorrow is date night with the boyfriend, either that or Wednesday night, it has yet to be decided. The night that's not date night will be homework night and if it's Wednesday night it's gonna have to end early cause I gotta be up and an hour away by 8AM the next morning for NLA.
And you all know how much of a morning person I am.
Will have to google directions on how to get there and all that since I don't know where I'm going.
Alright, song of the day:
Disease - Matchbox Twenty
love this video.
sorry, rob thomas is cee-lo's guest adviser this season so it's stuck in my head.
