"two hours outside any city looks like Kentucky."

No matter how crazy life can be or how frustrating or how tiring or how whatever, my teens always make me feel better.

And I'm not saying that I'm tired or frustrated or whatever about the library, I love my job, love my life, love my boyfriend, love my family, etc.

I'm just saying, they cheer me up.

No matter what's going on.

Had our monthly meeting today, scavenger hunt is next week with the Cosplay party after that.

Cosplay as in costume party.

I'm guessing we'll have a bunch of anime kids and all that. Think one of mine is going as Doctor Who. Should be interesting.

Anyway, so we went over notes for the next few months, scheduled some more fun stuff. They want to be more involved and do more stuff so I've tried to do a meeting and an activity every month. This time they want to do a Reader's Theater kind of thing in which they'll act out something on the spot that's being read to them.

I'm thinking cheesy romance novels sound hilarious.

And then for the next one they're thinking game day - wii, board games, etc.

Aside from the meeting it wasn't a very eventful day. Spent the majority of it in the back room checking stuff in or stocking supplies.

Oh, I trained yet another new employee.

He's not ours but he's training here cause the branch he's actually supposed to work at also has 3 other new employees.

So there's no one around to train them there cause they're all new.

Well, most of them are new, think they still have 2 of the originals.

Anyway, so trained one of them on desk stuff, then had the TAB meeting and decorated the Young Adult area with all of their lovely artwork and bookmarks.

Then after work the boyfriend came up and we went to see Promised Land.

Written by Dave Eggers but adapted by Matt Damon and John Krasinski.

aka Jason Bourne and Jim from The Office.



Scale of Awesome says about 7/10. Interesting to see him in serious roles now instead of action stuff. Though he was all carpenter in this one like We Bought a Zoo.

It's basically about Matt Damon and his partner played by Frances McDormand. They're natural gas salespeople and arrive in this small town attempting to sway people to sign over their land to be drilled but this environmentalist shows up and all hell breaks lose.

It's interesting, good storyline and all that. Well-casted.

But it was nice to see something so different from what we usually watch. Due to timing constraints mostly cause there's only a few hours between when I get off work until when he has to leave here to get to work on time.

Alright, I should crash. Totally exhausted. And Carter's already sleeping and taking up half the couch.

More of 2012's greatest hits.

Farming and I Grow It - ThePetersonFarmBros

since i can't post the original version of this one for reasons that will go unexplained - though if you've seen it then you understand - you get the parody instead.

and i enjoy it so you should watch it.


Locked Out of Heaven - Bruno Mars


the boyfriend was obsessed with this song while we were in vegas. still sings it from time to time.

legitimate pre-midnight post. holy crap tag in use.

I'm farming and I grow it.

Okay, just a heads up, this post may be labeled as 11:50 PM, but it's actually around 1:30 AM and by the time it's posted it will be past 2AM. Like most posts it's back-dated, but this is the day I had.

It all started with the parade in the morning. The boyfriend came up and drove my car.

Literally, my car, my name is on the title. It's a long black Cadillac.

If you get that reference.

We were in the front part of the parade, which was actually really nice because we went through and then got the heck out of there. Abby Cadabra came with us and "threw candy". Actually it was more like she sat on my lap and looked cute while the boyfriend and I threw candy.

Which worked out okay, it was hot but not too bad in the morning. Then we hit up the firebarn for lunch, dad paid, they had BBQ stuff. Walked around to look at all the cars and all that.

Interesting day for our relationship.

Apparently we're married.

And supposed to have kids.

With brown eyes.

The first part needs kind of an explanation. Um, so we were walking around and as it's a small town I was introducing him to people when we ran into my dad's old hired hand. Well, he's not old, but former hired hand, there. Anyway, so he was like, "I used to work for your father-in-law on the farm." and the boyfriend goes, "okay" and then Joe keeps talking and then takes off, and there was no real time for explanation, so when we went to lunch with mom and dad it was like, "okay, so Joe may say something about meeting your son-in-law, umm...yeah, no."

The second part is pretty much self-explanatory, my siblings give us a lot of crap and we both have brown eyes.

As for the two of us, it was a pretty good day. After the parade, intros, and lunch we headed out to the farm for some air conditioning, caught the last 35 in the best 100 songs of the 90's list on VH1. Got pretty invested, had to watch it all the way through. Between the two of us we know a lot of music, and of course he guessed the number one song. But it's hard to guess when you've missed the first half of the marathon and don't know what's already been listed.

After that was the annual tank war. Bubby and I have a running competition in which we line up a bunch of tanks facing each other, and attempt to light them all. Then whoever has the most tanks that aren't completely toast wins.

I won this year, though not by much. I won last year as well, up until he stomped them into pieces, pointed and said "I win" then lit off some more fireworks. Cheater.

Quotes of the Day:

"Fill the gap!" power trip on four wheels, long story. But we plan on using it for many occasions such as "Fill the gap Martha, you're sucking it up!" I'm sure he just loves that nickname.

"It's not skanky beer." See, when I hear skanky I think of it as an adjective to someone being skanky. Not old beer. It's like if you drink it you become skanky or something.

"Toenails!!" 
"Just like labor." I was holding the newest addition Tessa Jo and she had long toenails so when she jammed them into my leg I was like, ouch! toenails! and they teased me about that's what it feels like to go through labor.

I told them to give me 5 years. Minimum. Probably more.

"Found another parachute."
"Awww, crap." the endless amount of parachutes, I can still see them chasing them down, literally chasing it was pretty windy.

I'm sure there's more but I'm totally blanking. I'll add more tomorrow.

"I'm Farming and I Grow It" Peterson Farm Brothers - parody of "I'm Sexy and I Know It"

my brother could have totally been all over it is.

I was gonna post some patriotic red/white/blue music but I'm falling asleep at the keyboard. Will post it tomorrow. Out for the night.

And yep, 2:07 AM.
