I could write a blog. I have thoughts.

Life at the library, adventures with friends and other hysterics...

blue, blue, blue christmas.

Interesting day today. Got to spend it at the home branch with the Queen of Awesome herself.

And us working together is even more rare than myself and Slim Shady being paired up.

Needless to say the day flew by.

Got to catch up on a lot of stuff, though I kept getting blamed for things getting broken. Self-checks, Koha holds queue, etc. geez, think the building is still mad at me for leaving.

I miss the good old home branch but with the work branch there's so much more going on all the time. Which is good but can be bad as well.

After an extremely fast 9 hours the boyfriend picked me up and we headed over to Grams place for our annual pitch tournament Christmas party.

Every year it's a huge thing. Gag gifts, pizza, card playing, family stories - you know the usual holiday cheer. Got some interesting presents. A bath mat from my bathroom floor, candy, wine glass, dancing baby... crap. i just got rid of that thing. Its on.

Story behind the dancing baby is a bit of a mystery. It originated around 15 years ago and has been making the rounds ever sense. And its not like a nice cute doll. its ugly. and it dances. Well, its two pieces so when you shake it its upper body flails and it looks like its dancing. and its still in the package. If you get it you're stuck with it for a year before you wrap it up and give it to someone else.

Favorite sister in law and I were pitch partners as usual and dominated...the last game. The game we ended with zero points was a little questionable but to be fair it was much better than the negative score the hand before.

We made some crazy 7 and 8 bids to pull off the final victory. Got a stress ball and a bar of soap favor prizes as apparently working and taking classes is stressful and the soap was a present for those who swear, which I do occasionally.

Sketch is laughing I can tell.

But not in front of Grams. She did pretty well tonight with all the excitement. Usually she gets tired early but she lasted the whole time.

Alright on to the music. Off tomorrow so excited to sleep in. Have a good one.

Another slight change as last year's included Charlie Brown and as I can't post it twice in a row I'm switching it out with Run Rudolph Run.
