"Pass the seaweed."

Fair warning this post will most likely last 5 minutes maximum.

It's only 11 and I've already fallen asleep twice.

Apparently getting only 3 hours of sleep is bad for your body, and can only last so long even if you did manage to cover that during the day with 3 cups of coffee and a mountain dew.

But today was worth it, there were multiple jump-up-in-the-air-and-fist-pump moments.

Starting this morning with a kickass meeting with the Library Goddess. The both of us losing our voices - but mine is always like that pre-8AM. I was waiting to get crap for it but as hers was gone too it was more amusing than anything else.

Remember that rebuttal email that I wrote last night that took me like an hour? It was worth it. Seriously. It's not to have supervisors excited about your ideas, so excited in fact that they stand up for them. So it's looking good for library golf, but the process is still in the early planning stages. A lot can change, though as long as we're not restricted to the 4th floor I'll be happy.

I still suck at Scratched vs. More Scratched, BossLady dominated again.

Oh and we had our Thursday Afternoon Meeting today for youth services talking about some Summer Readin specifics and the like. That's where the title came from, there's always some interest snacks involved with that group.

I'm back to Lie To Me. But I'm off tomorrow so I'm thinking I'll throw in People Like Us and crash yet again soon.

Excited for a day off tomorrow, sleeping in, have nothing but a meeting in the afternoon and then dinner with the boyfriend's family after. Stoked for some great Mexican food. Best leftovers ever.

What else from today?

I did manage to find something for the boyfriend for Valentine's Day, however I can't post about it but I will keep you posted as it goes.

I'm really not good at all that stuff - Valentine's Day has never been my strong point cause I've never really been excited about celebrating it.

Granted my reason was always something to the effect that I didn't have anyone worthy that I would like to celebrate it with. Which is obviously changed so now I kind of look forward to it.

But the present is cool so I hope he likes it.

Alright, that's all I got. Sleep is near. Listen to these and crash yourself.

Songs stuck in my head all day: 

and yes i'm aware i've posted these both within the past few months. didn't stop them from being in my head all day.

Scream and Shout - will.i.am & Britney Spears

except there were only parts of these songs that i sang over and over, this one being 1:10-1:13 which of course you can't sing out loud. didn't stop me from jamming to it in my head at the desk.


Keep Your Hands To Yourself - George Satellites

it was 0:29-0:33 for this one.


out.

but then she went to Cleveland with some guy named Leland that she met at the bank.

I suck at Scratched or More Scratched.

I learned that today.

Either that or BossLady is just that good.

We found this coin looking this that isn't actually a coin, more like a weight of some kind, but we were bored so we started playing heads or tails but as it was blank and didn't have a heads or tails we labeled the sides as Scratched and More Scratched.

That was the entertainment of the day, the rest was just nervewracking.

Superwoman finally approved my plan for library golf, woohoo!

Anyway, so I sent out a mass email today about my idea about library golf and how it would work. I always get nervous when I send out anything that's a mass email, takes me like an hour to get the wording right. I was all excited to get it out in writing, but the responses that I got - from people I hadn't already talked to cause all the people I had already talked to were for it completely - suggested I contain it to the 4th floor.

But if you restrict us to the 4th floor it kills the whole activity because it would be just like mini-golfing anywhere else. The ability to use the stacks as obstacles or design holes to match the areas in which they're located makes it unique.

Their point was about liability, but really if it's limited to 6th-12th graders they're smart enough to not swing for the fences - or whatever the golf equivalent is for that term - but you know what I mean, they're not going to intentionally hit it into foot traffic.

And the holes would be blocked off anyway, with tape and books blocking the possibility of anything rolling out to where people would trip over them.

And if something is needed from the area then the game will pause until the item is retrieved.

I'm just trying to show teens that we're more than just our collection. That we actually want them to visit the library and have fun at the library so that they'll come visit us in the future.

Superwoman did officially approve it though and when I talked to the other supervisors previously - Cabin Fever and the rest of my new fun librarian friends - they were all for it. But I guess we'll see how it goes tomorrow.

What else from today?

The boyfriend is sick so our plans for the week have been postponed. Aside from that I talked to Sketch for a while and that was basically my day.

And still I find myself watching Lie To Me even with that list of movies that came in yesterday. Just met his ex-wife, played by Jennifer Beals. Yes, little miss Flashdance herself is making a comeback - Lie to Me, Chicago Code, The Mob Doctor and of course Sophia Turner on Castle, aka Castle's former muse.


Alright, on to the music:

Ohio (Come Back to Texas) - Bowling For Soup


Willie Nelson wants you back.
