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.

For a list of other things that want her back go here: Extended Edition

and she's out.

Willie Nelson Wants You Back

I have tomorrow off! Dude! The whole day! From both places! That never happens! Except when I have class...and I don't have class!! So guess how I'm gonna spend my day off?!?! Doing homework! For class!

Well, that's the plan at least. I'll probably throw in a marathon of SVU as well. I mean, you can only read about leadership and draw blueprints of libraries for so long before your head explodes.

Today was good. Got to sleep in this morning.

I actually got to talk to Second Sister today. Which is shocking as I haven't talked to her in like a month. This is usually because I'm always working or she's always working. And she'll leave a message and I won't get it until she's sleeping. And it's best not to wake up a pregnant woman. That I've learned.
She's as busy as ever, but at least she's not changing her child's name.
Me: "Why are you changing the baby's name?"
SS: "Because I'm pregnant and bored!"
but that was 1 kid ago. I'm proud to say I'm the first person to know about the last two kids - other than her husband of course. But me finding out this last one was mostly a fluke.

*I get in the car*
SS: "Are you wearing perfume?"
Me: "Are you pregnant?"
*looks away*
yep. two seconds. i rock.

But I never know what they're having. They keep that a secret. Maybe it'll be a boy and make the numbers even that way there's less pressure for me. Cause that ain't happening any time soon. There are currently 4 girls and 3 boys for grandkids. Maybe I should root for a boy. Hmm...

Talking to her was pretty much the highlight of the day, as it hasn't happened in forever. Also talked to Mom today, which has been a rarity lately as well, but they're harvesting so that's a valid excuse. Is that how you spell that? I haven't used it in a while. Rarity. Another word I don't use as often, "nab" which Glee-Loving Boss said the other day. I paused. It's a good word but no one uses it anymore. We should bring it back. The Nab taskforce. I'm all about taskforces. Maybe I should make nab stand for something to make it more effective. National Antidisestablishmentarianism Bonanza. I have no idea what it means but I can say it and that's all that matters.

After that it was just missing my adopted sister at the library. Dang lunch breaks always have bad timing. Oh well, I'll see her around, now that she actually is around.

I love my job, especially my coworkers. Of course today my Glee-Loving Boss was teasing me some more about flu shots, saying he and Joe Studley would each hold me down so I could get the shot.

It's on man, I gotta figure out something to get him back for yesterday's flyer.

Midwest Music for the night you get Texas and North Dakota. There, I've gotten the whole line of us. I think. Yeah. I did. Which means tomorrow is a free for all. Meaning I'll try to throw in something that's not Texas.
