Holiday Laminate

To the tune of “Holiday” by Madonna

Written by Tracy

Holiday Laminate

Holiday Laminate

[Chorus:]

If we took a holiday

Took some time to laminate

Pictures, bookmarks and signs

It would be, it would be so nice

Everybody spread the word

We’re gonna do some lamination

All across the libraries

For every patron

It’s time for protection

Forget about torn pages, oh yeah

One day to come together

And make pages last forever

We need a holiday

[chorus]

You can turn this thing around

And bring back all of those happy days

Put torn pages down

It’s time to laminate!

It will shine

Really shine

The plastic comes together

And makes things better

We need a holiday

[chorus]

Holiday Laminate

Holiday Laminate

[chorus]

Holiday Laminate

Holiday Laminate

Holiday, Lamination

It’s protection for all the patrons

 

Original Lyrics

Holiday Celebrate
Holiday Celebrate

[Chorus:]

If we took a holiday
Took some time to celebrate
Just one day out of life
It would be, it would be so nice

Everybody spread the word
We're gonna have a celebration
All across the world
In every nation
It's time for the good times
Forget about the bad times, oh yeah
One day to come together
To release the pressure
We need a holiday

[chorus]

You can turn this world around
And bring back all of those happy days
Put your troubles down
It's time to celebrate
Let love shine
And we will find
A way to come together
And make things better
We need a holiday

[chorus]

Holiday Celebrate
Holiday Celebrate

[chorus]

Holiday Celebrate
Holiday Celebrate

Holiday, Celebration
Come together in every nation

"who eats pudding at ten o'clock in the morning?" "people who like pudding."

He shoots, he scores, hey goalie, you suck!

Stars won 5-1 over Des Moines.

The boyfriend and I hit up the game last night.

I was starting to get worried. The first game I went to like 10 years ago we won but every game since we've gotten hosed so I was stoked last night when we went up 3-0 by the end of the first period.

Traffic was a nightmare cause the basketball team was also playing at the same time. We ended up parking out way by the gate, but it still took forever to leave the parking lot.

So that was the highlight for yesterday, though I was amazingly productive with homework and other paperwork stuff.

And I took a nap so that was fun, oh and I started the show Lie To Me. So far I'm liking it. Saying about 8/10 but I literally have just watched 1 episode. And with some shows the pilot is rockstar quality and then the second episode is complete crap so we'll see how this one goes.

Today was fun, had the baby's birthday party, aka Second Sister's youngest.

Though my mom called me her baby today. Even though I'll be 25 in like 2 weeks.

But I will forever be her baby, apparently.

A fact that gives my siblings endless fodder, labeling me a delicate flower or a pane of glass.

But that's a longer story.

Anyway, the birthday party was fun. As the baby is just turning one she's not really into anything yet so it was all about rainbows. Second Sister's pretty creative so they were everywhere.

Many cute pictures will be added to Facebook I'm sure. And speaking of Facebook, our team picture from trivia night is now officially posted. Perhaps I shall have to add that on here once I get mine uploaded.

After the party I went out to the boyfriend's place to watch the Super Bowl.

Not really a fan of either team but I was rooting for the 49'ers. After the random power outage they really stepped up but then lost momentum right when they needed it.

Bummer.

I gotta say, I totally flipped out when the rest of Destiny's Child showed up during Beyonce's halftime show.

I'm a total nut for them. Or I was, go here or here.

But that was the only good thing about that halftime show.

I mean, I like her and I like her music but I like it when she actually sings her music, not just dances to it while it plays in the background.

Though as crappy as that was it's still not as bad as when the Black Eyed Peas took the stage a few years ago.

Man, they were awful live.

But I'm a fan of them too so that was depressing.

We missed the first part of the game so maybe I missed some but I wasn't all that impressed by the commercials this year. The only one I actually remember was the Kaley Cuoco one, which I guess wasn't bad but the rest just seemed dumb.

The game seemed to last a while though with that delay and the boyfriend totally fell asleep by the 4th quarter so I actually made it back to my apartment before midnight.

I know, I'm in shock.

So now it's back to Lie To Me - episode 2 is pretty good so far but I have a massively massive headache so I will be signing off now as I can't bare to stare at this screen any longer.

Music Rec before I crash:

I haven't heard this song since the last time I watched Get Smart - so like years ago - but heard it not once but twice today on my ipod. I figured it was a sign to post it.

Madonna/Justin Timberlake/Timberland - 4 Minutes

so which is it? are you out of time or do you have four minutes?

i feel like this video should have been much bigger with more effects. like when they're randomly dancing on cars. need to be explosions in the background or something.

and she's out.

I might be wearing swiss cheese or may be covered in bees...

"we're the cheese at the end of the maze."

So interesting day today: Summer Reading Program training in the morning. I basically directed the kiddos downstairs and observed Mentor lead the meeting. Just going over all the Summer Reading events along with booklets and signup. But everything is online so it's super easy.

It was cool to watch the TAB kids at work, they got to lead the ice breaker, using speed dating as the activity. Basically they came up with the prompts, but it was still speed dating and highly amusing.

They also explained the booklets and all that.

After that it was camp central. Met up with the core group - minus a few - came up with an application form, changed some stuff around price-wise, basically since there's going to be air conditioning in the new building it's going to be a bit more expensive.

But we fixed it.

Sort of.

I guess we'll see.

And of course we did it in our very own goofy and procrastinative way.

But we got the job done, though the most interesting part was while we were stuffing envelopes my mom calls all frantic. "I don't know where you are but get in the basement."

Apparently there was a tornado headed straight at the farmhouse and stopped right before it got hit.

Kind of an eye-opener.

Though we were at the church so we basically just moved our party downstairs and kept working.

And it was probably good that we were there cause the basement always leaks when there's a big storm. The outside drains get clogged with leaves so Obi-Wan fixed it for the night.

But the farmhouse is fine, apparently Dad watched the whole thing on his way home, but pulled over cause he didn't want to drive into it.

We didn't even notice the storm cause the blinds were closed, but then Steve looks up and says something about it being dark out, that's when we got the phone call from Mom. Turned on the TV and went, yeah, should probably move downstairs...

Alright, I'm out semi-early for a weekend. Church tomorrow morning and Squirt gets her diploma for graduating grade school, woohoo! After that is dinner and after that is an open house FOR CAMP J!

We get to tour the new building, I'm stoked will take pictures for the new website.

Oh yeah, we're getting a new website. Cause ours is down. And isn't coming back up. But it'll be easier this way, maintain it ourselves and all that. So we're thinking we should add in a link for the history of our Camp J which means I have to start listing all the themes that I can remember.

And since our first year was 1982 we're thinking we should do some sort of 30th anniversary edition kind of thing.

I'm just stoked cause I'm practically done for the 7/8 and teen helper skits.

Yes, the teen helpers are doing a skit.

They're going to do it and they're going to like it.

Cause I said so.

And I'm mean like that.

But it's humorous and it's not like I'm making them sing. Just you know...dance...and cheer...and there's a possibility of a wig. But maybe not if I still got my female teen helper.

Everyone's just stoked for the new building.

And I'm stoked that we're done with the application forms. They'll get sent out this week so I'll probably already have my hands full by the end of the week.

Which reminds me that I need to go buy a new binder. Cause last year's is overflowing. And I've just started buying new ones every year instead of having to deal with the old stuff. Put it in the tub and be done with it.

Songs of the night:

"Express Yourself" - Madonna


the originator that led to the spinoff aka "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga even though she claims it has nothing to do with this one. Um...melody...theme...outfits...hmmm...

Which I would have posted, but the video was far too creepy. Seriously weirded me out.

So you get Weird Al instead.

And I think I like it better.

"Perform This Way" - Weird Al

and amusing enough the weirdness in this video doesn't even breach the weirdness in that one. and so glad he brought the madonna angle to it.

i love him. and apparently he writes children's books so i like him even more.
