Today I was a Ninja of Awesome.
That's right, I rocked it.
Showed up early, worked with some volunteers, put together shelves - though to be fair, BossLady did most of the work.
She enjoys her mallet.
And dropping shelves so the ends fall off.
Though that is highly enjoyable.
But loud.
But highly enjoyable.
After that I put together my TAB minutes, sent them off by email, and talked to 3 of the 4 bosses who will need to approve when I ask them if I can take the kids to see Catching Fire as part of the Catching Fire party.
I think if they pay their own way and find their own transportation to get there it might actually work.
So far I'm 3 for 3.
Though one of the big pushes for it is if I challenge the kids to read the book beforehand so we can discuss the differences between the movie and the book afterward.
Which means I'll have to read it.
I know, I know, I'm horrible. I was the one who read Hunger Games in college before it got big then recommended it to everyone and then got 2 jobs and started school so there was no time for me to read the rest of the series.
The worst part being the people I recommended it to - Slim Shady & Fearless Leader - read it immediately along with the rest of the series.
So it's just me.
No, I don't know who she ends up with - if you tell me I will scream and throw things - and no I have no idea what happens in the next book but I'm assuming it has something to do with the President being pissed off about how that last one ended.
So I should probably read that and soon.
After all that I headed over to the practicum.
Practicum Count-Up 26/90.
Today we spent actually shelving our libraries.
The nice people from maintenance moved our boxes (and boxes and boxes) of books from the main building to the men's and women's buildings that we're setting up our remote libraries in so today we spent in the women's building going through all the boxes and shelving the items.
I pulled them all out and made piles - fiction and nonfiction - then divided up the fiction into groups - and I blame this on our DVD organization at work, but hey I was the one to pick those so I'm allowed, A-F, G-N, O-Z - while he sorted and shelved the nonfiction.
And because I am a ninja of awesome the fiction fit perfectly.
Like literally, it went to the very end of the shelf with room for no more.
It was like we planned it that way.
See? Proof positive. Ninja of Awesome.
Then we went back to the main library for rootbeer floats - best practicum ever - and made plans for Tuesday. Which is when we'll officially set up the men's library.
After that it'll be staffing the desk and all that.
Should be fun.
He always has uplifting catchphrases for when I leave, "catch a wave" etc. This time it was "Go Big Red!"
Yes, he's a Husker fan as well, which makes it even more enjoyable cause we can talk Husker football.
Which I can't do at work cause clearly no one is as diehard as me.
Though I did skip the awesome game last week because I went to the races with the boyfriend.
Cause I'm such a nice girlfriend like that.
I'm hoping we play against UCLA the same way we played this past weekend. But we shall see. Last year's was not pretty.
After practicum I went shopping and bought birthday presents for my father and sister.
And called and sang horribly, as is tradition.
Tomorrow we're having dinner at the cabin to celebrate. There will be steaks and much rejoicing.
He did turn 70 afterall.
After shopping came back here, did some editing, wrapped the presents and turned on Big Bang Theory.
Got season six today while shopping, bazinga!
Clips of the Day:
Here's what happens when double date night turns into game night.
Girls vs. Boys
That's good but the next one's better.
took me twice to realize she looks straight at the camera at 2:11.
but I keep watching it over and over to hear Sheldon scream at 1:07.
think i found my new text message alert.
and I'm out.

I'm not staying here for dramatic effect I really don't know how to get down.
First TAB Meeting of the year and feeling good.
Got 7 new applications since last summer, 4 of which made it to today's meeting.
Most of which was spent joking around, try to keep it as laid back as possible.
Cause you know, they're teens. And they're here voluntarily. So I don't want to scare them off.
Did some introductions - Cod Sparkles and all that - then voted on some activity ideas for this year.
Thinking game night - but like life-sized games so candyland with color spaces on the floor, and angry birds with the pigs as balloons stacked up on cardboard boxes while we throw darts at them, jenga with real boards, etc. etc. - movie night - whatever is new and exciting at the time - and then a murder mystery night.
Those are just the spring, the fall stuff is more crafty - they're making sculptures to celebrate Day of the Dead in a collaborative event with the art museum, and painting faces in yet another collaborative event this time with local schools.
And our Catching Fire party of course. Though they think that we should actually go see the movie and then come back and do all that other stuff.
Which means I have to talk to my boss.
Bosses.
I keep getting more and more bosses to report to. I wish there was just one, but that would be too easy.
Other than that my work day was pretty boring.
Except debating one of my bosses on why a whole section got missed when the aides scanned the collection.
She kept poking holes at my theories - maybe they were checked out, maybe they were mis-shelved, maybe they got pulled, maybe the scanner was broken - she had answers for them all but then I went with maybe the library gremlins took them and she had no rebuttal.
Cause there are library gremlins and they do meddle with things.
They enjoy messing with our heads, it brings them great amounts of joy and entertainment.
Itza monsta!
After work I went out to see the boyfriend. Drove around for a while in the rain, went to Walmart, watched some TV. We're getting old and boring, but Friday will be more active.
Dad's 70th birthday party at the cabin.
His cabin. That he built. And painted. And then moved half a mile before putting concrete under it and filling it with endless amounts of what I've dubbed "redneck rustic" items.
I'll take pictures and upload them so you'll know what I'm talking about.
Ducks, retro golf clubs, electric horses, minks, and movie theater seats.
Yeah, that last one didn't fit to me either but they are quite comfortable.
And that's all I got.
Early morning tomorrow working with volunteers before I head over to the practicum.

Multivitamins are the gateway to exercise John, everybody knows that.
You know how sometimes you think there's someone in your apartment so you call 911 in the middle of the night?
Cause you don't want to go and see if there's someone in the apartment by yourself and be screwed if there actually is someone in your apartment?
So then you get the courage to go see if there's someone in your apartment and of course there's not someone in your apartment so you sound like an idiot when talking to the operator?
Combined with the fact that it's the middle of the night and you're half asleep so you probably sounded like an idiot to begin with?
So you apologize profusely and go back to bed then wake up hoping it was all a dream, check your phone and see nothing listed on your call history?
Yet you're 98% sure that it actually happened, but completely confused as to why it's not showing up in your call history?
Anyone? Anyone?
Just me?
Thought so.
Pretty sure there's some sort of note in my record now noting this occurrence, though I'm still really hoping it was all just a messed up dream.
Though I'm sure it wasn't.
98% sure that is.
It made for a weird morning.
Added to the fact that I had my volunteer training scheduled wrong - which BossLady attempted to tell me earlier but I had written it down wrong so I must have just told her and then forgot about the change - and then I was only there half a day.
Came home and did some practicum stuff.
Made some cool library signs and rules and all that.
AND I got to do that while watching Elementary in the background.
Best practicum ever.
Then Carter and I took a nap.
It was awesome.
Now I'm working on some editing and will go back to that as soon as this is posted.
Tomorrow is back to work.
Songs of the Day go to Elton
Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word
Rocket Man
Got the official text from the boyfriend this morning - he got our tickets to see him in November.
I know you're all jealous.
Will probably be surrounded by people 40 years our senior. But that's fine by me.
As you can see he's awesome live.
So BE JEALOUS!
Or you know, you could get tickets too.
I'm sorry, the Miss America 2014 commercial just called their contestants the most talented women in America.
Really?
Really?
I've never watched one of their pageants but I can guarantee they're not the most talented women in America.
I'm sorry.
Though now I'm temped to watch one just to see what their "talents" are.
Legitimate pre-midnight post. Holy crap tag in use.
and i think it's gonna be a long long time.

I think that was a compliment, buried in a double negative, so… thanks.
Have you ever noticed how when you're only scheduled to come in half a day, that the day before that half a day is eternal?
1. Write down the second syllable of your middle name.
2. Write down the name of a plant.
3. If you are a female above the age of 30, write down the word "less." If you are a female under the age of 30, write down the word "met." If you are a man of any age, A) welcome! and B) write down the word "petra." see it's amusing.
4. Write down the first initial of the last name of your favorite English teacher from school.
5. Write down one simple action verb (i.e. "run," "jump," etc).
AND DON'T CHEAT, WRITE DOWN YOUR ANSWERS BEFORE YOU LOOK AT THE FORMULA BELOW
Combine the answer from #1 with the answer from #3. That is your first name.
Your middle initial is the answer to #4.
Your last name is your answer to #5 with your answer to #2 added to the end.
Call me Garmet H. Climbcactus.
Think I could get that on a business card?
Anyway, I'm excited about the Catching Fire Party. It'll be the Saturday after the movie comes out in theaters. We'll have a costume contest, there will be obstacle courses set up in our "arena", have some Panem-themed snacks, we'll make bows and arrows out of licorice and pretzels sticks (a coworker asked if they would be sugar free licorice sticks to which I smirked. but that's another snackage meeting reference) and we'll have the first movie playing in the background for those that want to watch it.
After the eternity that was today I'm looking forward to the half day that is tomorrow.
Final prep for my TAB meeting on Wednesday and then I have the afternoon off because Mr. Bossman Tom has a meeting so he's letting me work from home.
Huzzah for more practicum count-up hours.
I get to make cool looking rule signs for our libraries.
I'm really getting excited for these ones. We're thinking of manning - sorry, staffing - staffing the desk at the women's library on Tuesdays and then the men's on Thursdays.
That way we'll be able to cover both places, though we're still looking at ways to keep track of stats since we're not barcoding things.
I'm thinking spreadsheet. Or maybe a box of cards they fill out.
But that's another thing I'll research tomorrow after I finish my signs.
Told him I would make a few and he could choose.
No pressure, right?
But more on that tomorrow.
At the moment I'm all about Elementary.
It's bad timing really to be obsessed with this since I have multiple DVDs checked out from the library due next week and they keep piling up.
But this isn't the first time that's happened.
There was Lie to Me, before that it was Leverage, before that it was Chuck, before that it was any of the following: Big Bang Theory, Castle, Charlie's Angels, NCIS, NCIS:LA, Major Crimes, The Voice, Wipeout, Burn Notice
I can't believe that one is ending.
They're slowly cancelling all my favorites. Burn Notice, Warehouse 13, and all of those mentioned above before the word "following".
What's next?
Sorry, tangent.
Where was I?
Oh yeah, Elementary. It's fantastic.
Love the female Watson twist. And Lucy Liu is one of my favorites anyway. Loved her in Charlie's Angels, Kill Bill, Cashmere Mafia, Dirty Sexy Money, plus she voices one of the characters in my favorite video game of all time - SSX Tricky.
Elise.
Granted I never play as Elise, but still, she voices her.
A lot of famous people voice in that game, David Arquette, Macy Gray, Bif Naked, Billy Zane
Tempted to play it now.
Actually might before I go to bed. But gotta finish this episode first.
Sorry, more tangents. I should stop before I find more.
Clip of the Day:
good to know if i ever needed to fake a coma that i need to smack myself when prompted.
and i'm out.
legitimate pre-midnight post, holy crap tag in use.
That was today.
For some reason it felt like I was there much longer than 9 hours.
Which is confusing because we were quite busy.
And I had a teen experience meeting.
And I had 4 volunteers come in at once.
Actually there were more there at the moment but those are the ones still in training.
I have two others that were supposed to be there but weren't.
Interested to see if they will come back.
Teens.
Anyway, at least the meeting was fun.
Well, entertaining, not so much fun from the topics of discussion.
But that's more of a longer story.
Involving snackage at TAB meetings.
Lots and lots of talk of snackage at TAB meetings.
BUT I was able to plug my Catching Fire party and this afternoon Queen of the Known Universe and I had fun picking out her Hunger Games name.
Here is a simple formula for those of you who are curious - yes, I found it online, go here for the longer (and funnier) version.
1. Write down the second syllable of your middle name.
2. Write down the name of a plant.
3. If you are a female above the age of 30, write down the word "less." If you are a female under the age of 30, write down the word "met." If you are a man of any age, A) welcome! and B) write down the word "petra." see it's amusing.

As I fall into the darkness it's impossible to express
Yes, I skipped yesterday. But I got home way late from the races and by the time I got home I was half out of it anyway.
Was an excellent weekend. Worked yesterday with some cool people, caught the highlights of the game - see, now that's how we're supposed to play! - and then went to the races with the boyfriend and his bestest friend Steven.
It was fun, though the whole time I kept thinking of Vic Henley, "they're making a left turn!!"
He's a comedian that Sketch and I watched in college and then I actually DVR'd his special last year so I got to watch it again.
This is a different show but it's highly entertaining.
"and Jesus said..."
"white trash flotilla"
After the races we went over to his other friend's house to play video games.
Well, they played video games, I posted random stuff on Facebook.
Went back to my place to sleep and then woke up and went BACK out there today. We got lunch and watched a lot of movies.
He's dogsitting - it's his dog but he's actually in charge of it this weekend - so we had to stick around the house. Though we did go out to eat and stopped at Walmart.
Broke down and bought Now You See Me.
Which means it's really good cause it's the first one I've bought in a long time. Mostly I just get them through the library, this one I actually wanted to keep.
We watched a boatload of movies today, some of which are The Mighty Ducks, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Office Space and I think there were bits and pieces of others.
Along with some SVU and Cold Case.
They need to release that on DVD.
The second time we've watched Mighty Ducks, though neither time have we caught the whole thing. I should just order the series through interlibrary loan so we can watch them all.
Though I hate the quacking thing. Drives me nuts.
But it was a good and relaxing weekend. Which is good and just what I needed.
Tomorrow is back to work so I'm out. Looking forward to Tuesday, my half day and then Wednesday for our first TAB meeting of the year. Woohoo!
Song of the Day:
jammed to this one on the way back
Get Back in My Life - Maroon 5
love this song. no idea why there's an eagle in the corner.
Watching Iron Chef, yay Alex! She's my new favorite. I used to always root for the challenger but now that I know them better I go for the IC's.
Mostly.
Unless Bobby Flay turns into a jerk to his sous-chefs. Which happens frequently.

First rule of magic: Always be the smartest guy in the room.
The boyfriend and I finally watched Now You See Me.
Holy crap.
That's all I can say.
Holy crap.
I did not see that ending coming whatsoever.
Scale of Awesome says 9/10 which is high high praise.
You can guess all you want, you'll never get it.
Now I want to watch it all over again. Knowing the ending I'll catch more the second time.
Actually I might do that now.
But I should sleep. It's late, I work tomorrow and we're going to the races after.
Eh, oh well.
I'll probably be asleep by the second act anyway.
That's all I have for today. Work went by super slow. Tomorrow will most likely be slower cause it's Saturday.
And Game Day.
Stoked. Though I'm skipping it to go to the races.
I have faith in my Huskers. I don't have to watch to know they'll win.
I'll catch the replay later.
On to the music.
We're skipping music, let's go with Clip of the Day instead.
Check this, 40 magic tricks in 4 minutes - LeclericShow
He actually has a cool channel, did a video a day basically all of magic tricks. And some other random stuff, but mostly magic.
Yes, I know I'm boring tonight.
Sorry.
But you should all watch Now You See Me. I challenge you to figure it out before the end.
And I'm out.

Underwater Basket Weaving in Mesopotamia
So, Mr. Bossman Tom must be the cool kid on campus cause today not only did he have an entire tour of new employees come through, but also two of what seem like his "besties" stopped by after.
Checking out our piles heading to the other buildings.
I call them his "besties" because they seem to be the only people to keep reappearing throughout our process. They're cool guys, actually everyone there is really nice. I'm diggin' it.
We're still debating the best process of keeping stats over books we really have no control over. We expect them to disappear so we're not barcoding them, but we still need some way of keeping track of what gets checked out. One of his besties says one day we're only going to have one book left.
"Underwater Basket Weaving in Mesopotamia"
Cause who would want to steal that?
Although apparently people do weave baskets underwater.
There are pictures of it online so it must be true.
So says my brother-in-law, the King of Useless Knowledge.
Actually that's not the exact quote he uses, it's more like "I read it on the internet so it must be true."
Where was I? Oh right, practicum, yes more sorting and stamping. I don't know where these books keep coming from. I don't think he does either. But it was fun. And now the Practicum Count-Up is at 20/90.
Yay!
But that was this afternoon.
The morning started with a staff meeting. Then it was off to the desk, some off desk time to work on TAB stuff - so not ready for our first meeting next week - and then upstairs to the lab to answer reference phone calls.
Reference Question of the Day: What is the average temperature of March in Dublin, Ireland.
I actually found it online. Huzzah for Google!
After work was the practicum, after practicum the boyfriend came up and we went out to dinner.
Lazlo's for rainbow chicken, fries, apple sauce, and The Situation.
It's a fruity drink that tastes like orange juice. With a kick. Of, you know, liquor.
Half of the chicken and fries are in my fridge. Love leftovers from that place. They even gave me a special container to put my honey mustard sauce in so it wouldn't get all over everything.
After dinner we walked around the new arena.
Or as we call it "the spaceship".
Have you seen that thing?
We walked all the way around it, it's gigantor.
Though apparently from the inside it seems much smaller. And since it can't be bigger than the Quest Center it has exactly one seat less.
Congratulations Omaha.
You win.
Was nice to go out and do stuff. Dinner was good. Walk was fun.
Came back and did my homework while he went off to work.
But now it's done so after this post I can go directly to bed.
Much more relaxing than going "directly to jail."
That was a Monopoly reference for those of you culturally challenged.
On to the music:
Song You Knew But Forgot You Knew It
All Around the World - ATC
Remember this one? I think I was in grade school at this point but I still remember jamming out to it at the time.
Check out that choreography, or more specifically the dance sequence starting at 1:45.
I really like it when the guys sing but all you can hear is her voice.
Alright, off to bed.
Or to watch some Elementary.
Whichever happens first.
Legitimate pre-midnight post, holy crap tag in use.
Checking out our piles heading to the other buildings.
I call them his "besties" because they seem to be the only people to keep reappearing throughout our process. They're cool guys, actually everyone there is really nice. I'm diggin' it.
We're still debating the best process of keeping stats over books we really have no control over. We expect them to disappear so we're not barcoding them, but we still need some way of keeping track of what gets checked out. One of his besties says one day we're only going to have one book left.
"Underwater Basket Weaving in Mesopotamia"
Cause who would want to steal that?

What happens in the Kremlin stays in the Kremlin!
FINALLY saw Red 2 tonight with the boyfriend.
I say finally because the original Red is in my top five movies of all time.
I watched it every night for almost 3 months. Maybe longer.
Scale of Awesome for this one says 8/10.
Wasn't as good as the original - but that's true for most sequels - however it did have a lot of good moments.
These were a few of my favorites:
Marvin: You haven't killed anybody in months!
Frank: That's a positive thing!
Marvin: If it makes you feel better, bring the girl.
Frank: Not bringing the girl!
Sarah: Don’t bring the girl where?
Marvin: Mommy just slapped Daddy at the dinner table!
Frank: Stop teaching her things!
Victoria: Just rent ‘Dirty Dancing’ and tell her you love her.
Katja: She's cute. Where did you find her? Nebraska?
Sarah: Kansas!
Katja: Oh...Kansas.
Sarah: I didn't know what to do, I didn't want to kill him!
Frank: So you chose to kiss him?
Sarah: Where did you get the bodies?
Victoria: From my freezer.
Man: I've never heard of you. Must be a little bit before my time.
Victoria after kicking his ass: Well you've heard of me now.
All-in-all I liked it a lot and will buy it when it comes out.
Just like its predecessor.
Today was good. Was super busy with volunteer stuff so the day flew by pretty quickly. Tomorrow is another half and half day.
I actually look forward to those cause neither parts drag on.
Looking for ways to keep track of stats on books that aren't barcoded.
Thoughts?
Aside from a clipboard or a spreadsheet?
I'll look into it more tomorrow.
On to the music:
I'm Into Something Good - Herman's Hermits
Classic, though I really like the remake by The Bird and The Bee posted here.
So glad to have my car back. I switched back with Mom tonight after the movie. Though I will miss the XM radio.
Only almost wrecked her car like 2 times.
Joking.
It was more like 3.
But it's not my fault L-Town drivers are idiots.
No, am kidding, cause I know if I put a scratch on it I'd never hear the end of it from my siblings.
Speaking of, I woke up to like 34 missed texts this morning all revolving around plans for dad's birthday.
But you know me at that time of day. Barely able to tie my shoes so I had no clever responses to send back.
I did buy him a present. A Duck Dynasty book. It's thoroughly exciting.
For him at least, I don't watch the show.
I tried once, it didn't stick.
Anyway, off to bed. Need my sleep to function tomorrow. And there's a staff meeting in the morning. Fake it 'til you make it I guess.

Rootbeer Floats = Best Practicum Ever
I'm really liking these half and half days.
They don't drag on and I'm able to escape after getting yelled at by crazy old ladies.
They're the worst because they belittle you.
With men they're just mad and yell, but women calmly hurl insult after insult making you feel like a tiny defenseless being.
So that was fun.
Not.
Reference Questions of the Day:
Question: What's a five letter word for small silvery fish?
Answer: Smelt
Question: Do roaches lay eggs in books?
Answer: Dear God, I hope not.
So I'm at the practicum right, and we're doing more sorting and stamping when all the sudden this bug crawls out of a book.
And not just any bug, a big huge roach bug creature thing that's all crawling and disgusting and just blah.
Needless to say we put that book outside - and when I say "we" I mean "he" cause clearly I wasn't going to pick it up - and then when we left it was gone.
So either someone stole it or roaches ate it.
Either way I want nothing to do with it.
Other than that the practicum is going awesome. We were in the women's building today going through our collection. We're actually out of a shelves - which is a good problem to have in a smaller library - so we're going to have to do a bit of shifting.
Practicum Count-Up: 17/90
We got done a bit early so we went back to the main building and he asks, "do you like rootbeer?"
Heck yeah I like rootbeer.
Apparently he had brought rootbeer and icecream for some event earlier and there were leftovers.
So we ate rootbeer floats as we made plans for Thursday.
Which will put me at 20 of my hours, woohoo!
Is flying by and I'll miss it when it's over.
Tonight I had a meeting with the Library Goddess plus Comrade and then another classmate/former coworker. He did a stint in our music library for his practicum and the three of us will be taking Comps in October.
Even though I've been to 2 of these review sessions and led 1 myself it's a rule that I attend the one right before I take them.
So I got to review all the tips and rules for The Week From Hell.
Or so I'm calling it.
We get our questions on a Saturday so we're thinking of meeting up - the three of us - on Sunday to brainstorm.
It's allowed. So long as we don't copy each other's papers.
Which would be stupid because then we would both fail - they go to the same person.
Having someone proofread your papers is also allowed so I'm thinking of asking Superwoman - cause she knows all about the subjects - or The Cool Aunt or Oldest Sister because they're accomplished writers.
Or perhaps a combination of the both.
I don't know. I have a month and a half to figure that out, but the hints and tips are already online so I should really get started on researching those early.
So that was my day.
That lady calling and yelling shadowed everything else from work - except for that fish thing - so I don't have any other highlights from this morning. Afternoon was practicum, evening was meeting, after which I went grocery shopping and picked up Elementary Season One.
Cause I love Lucy Liu, and Sherlock Holmes, and think the twist that Watson is Joan instead of John is intriguing.
It's actually quite lovely.
And the cause for this entire post being written with a British accent.
But you know all about that quirk.
I hear someone speak in an accent and I speak back in that accent.
Which is why I have to pause at work whenever I hear someone talk in an accent. Because that would just be disastrous.
So, tomorrow, full day at work, volunteer training in the afternoon and then I get to switch cars with Mom.
Oh yeah, been driving her car this week since mine is in the shop getting new tires.
It's nice to have a boyfriend who notices things like the need for new tires so I don't get stranded somewhere in the middle of winter.
Lord knows I know nothing about cars or tires or when they need changing. Or how to change them.
Sorry.
Not a skill I possess I'm afraid.
On the music:
American Girl - Bonnie McKee
because I know that whenever my car explodes i use the fire to roast marshmallows.
it scares me that she's 29.
Now back to Elementary.
You should really watch that clip, it's delightful.
Plus I should you know, do something with these bandages. For the fourth time today.
This one hurts a lot more than previous years. Perhaps breaking it open twice was a bad idea.
You'd think I'd have enough scar tissue built up by now that it shouldn't even bust open.
The classmate/former coworker says soon it'll just turn into zombie-mode and stay that way.
They don't drag on and I'm able to escape after getting yelled at by crazy old ladies.

Good morning, Team Awesome! So good he had to catch it twice.
Ah, church league softball.
Today was the 2nd Annual WELS Area Softball Tournament, and we dominated.
Last year's was a lot of fun - Unhook the Plow - but this year was extra special because we beat the team that beat us twice a month ago.
Sort of.
I mean, we did beat them.
In the morning.
However, we tied them in the afternoon.
But that's more of a longer story. I'll get there.
So, morning game against Plymouth - a developing rivalry - as mentioned, they beat us twice last month but this was our turf, our field, our team, our... whatever, you get the point. So it was on. And you knew it was on when Pastor showed up and greeted us with, "Good morning, Team Awesome!"
Homey G and I had planned to go early to warm up so I was there half an hour early followed closely by Megz and Tyler.
We threw the ball around for a while until the rest of the team joined us then headed in for the big game. A few changes to the lineup, this time Scuba Steve-O was working so he couldn't make it but we were joined by Tash - one of my old play kids - and Jordan who's Pastor's brother-in-law.
Both were welcomed and both showed some serious skills throughout the day so we're keeping them.
Our first challenge of the day?
The lineup.
We didn't have paper, so what do I flail to when I don't have paper?
That's right, my phone.
Make fun all your want, real life big brother, it was the ONLY PAPER WE HAD!
Until Tyler went to his car, got an old bill and we wrote on the back of that.
We switched it up a bit. I realized that we were putting most of our power hitters in a row so we spaced them out and it turned out really well. We won the first game like 9-5 or something like that. I should have written it down on my electronic paper, sorry.
All I cared about was that we won, which sounds horrible, but when you're playing your rivals that's all you would care about too.
After that victory they played Kearney/Grand Island. Two churches who had formed into one team, cause they didn't have enough people interested. Plymouth won like 19-10 and then we took a lunch break.
Jim O makes a mean burger, especially when you top it with sauteed onions and surround it with chips, watermelon, potato salad and deviled eggs.
I ate far too much which I didn't realize until we were out on the field again.
We were worried because the K/GI team had 7 guys and only 4 girls, but it actually worked out okay cause we won our afternoon game against them as well. We're nice and didn't make them take an out every time two men batted in a row.
That's the rule for our slow pitch league, you have to alternate boy/girl when you bat, along with each man can only hit one home run per game, however a woman can hit as many as she wants.
This game had a bit of a bigger spread than the morning one. They were up 2-0 after their first bat but then we batted all the way around the order right after that. Becky being the first out then someone else being the second and then around to Becky again who claimed the third out.
We gave her crap about that for the rest of the day.
But it's okay cause she gave us crap right back.
After that it was Plymouth again for the re-match.
We were zonked from our previous game, but knew that this would be the game of the day so we put our game faces on.
We were ahead for most of the game but they made a comeback around the 5th inning. Then it was tied 9-9. Until around the 11th inning when it was tied 10-10, until around the 15th inning when we said, um, okay. Let's call it a draw.
We're only supposed to play 7 innings.
But we're competitive so we had to keep going until there was a winner.
However, 4:15 rolled around and Pastor had to leave at 4:30 and when the other team's pastor wouldn't agree to a footrace against our Pastor to determine the winner we decided to leave it as a tie.
Which means next year it's gonna be even more of a rivalry.
But I claimed us the champions since we had beat them that morning.
I had some good hits throughout the day. Getting on base more than getting out, which is always the goal. Actually, I think the entire day I only got out three times. Which is pretty good since we played three games and they had some wicked good fielders on each team.
But so did we. And I got to be in the outfield with Pastor, Tash and my brother. I switched off innings with Megz until I was sidelined for an injury, though I still batted.
An injury which I'm sure you all expected.
The obligatory "I slid and broke my leg open again" one.
Woops.
6 years and counting.
Or is it 7?
Same spot, same leg, 7 years and counting.
And usually the same base - stupid second.
The problem with this year's though was that when I broke it open it wasn't all that bad. Jim O cleaned it and I went back in the game.
But you know me, I slid again, breaking it back open and then it was just gross.
Instead of having him clean it again, cause it hurts, I went home to take a shower.
Which ended up hurting even worse.
But now it's clean and all wrapped up.
Though tomorrow I'll have to wake up early to re-do it I'm sure.
Ugh.
I know, I know, I bring it on myself. And I'll get yelled at tomorrow by not only Sketch - who I'm surprised hasn't "middle-named" me yet, but also Queen of the Known Universe and the Queen of Awesome.
Who's exact words when I told her I'd be playing softball this weekend were "try not to rip open you leg again."
Sorry.
My bad.
To be fair it is tradition.
You'd think I'd have enough scar tissue built up by now.
Anyway, it was a great day.
"Who's Steve" dominated. Go here for the team name explanation if you don't already know.
And we're having t-shirts made for our regular season which hopefully starts soon.
Quotes of the Day:
Pastor: "Good morning, Team Awesome!"
Me: "It's the only paper we had!"
Mike: "Anything that can move without feet freaks me out."
Pastor: "So good he caught it twice."
and then a completely unrelated one,
Me: "Your couch is unplugged?"
ask Mom about that one.
Song of the Day: Song You Know But Forgot You Knew It
All I Really Want - Alanis Morissette
heard this one on the way there this morning and have been singing it ever since.
classic Alanis.
Now I'm off to re-wrap my leg before crashing and hard. I'm exhausted. Half and half day tomorrow which means I'll be on my feet the whole afternoon. Gonna need all the sleep I can get.

The problem with this year's though was that when I broke it open it wasn't all that bad. Jim O cleaned it and I went back in the game.
But you know me, I slid again, breaking it back open and then it was just gross.
Instead of having him clean it again, cause it hurts, I went home to take a shower.
Which ended up hurting even worse.
But now it's clean and all wrapped up.
Though tomorrow I'll have to wake up early to re-do it I'm sure.
Ugh.
I know, I know, I bring it on myself. And I'll get yelled at tomorrow by not only Sketch - who I'm surprised hasn't "middle-named" me yet, but also Queen of the Known Universe and the Queen of Awesome.
Who's exact words when I told her I'd be playing softball this weekend were "try not to rip open you leg again."
Sorry.
My bad.
To be fair it is tradition.
You'd think I'd have enough scar tissue built up by now.
Anyway, it was a great day.
"Who's Steve" dominated. Go here for the team name explanation if you don't already know.
And we're having t-shirts made for our regular season which hopefully starts soon.
Quotes of the Day:
Pastor: "Good morning, Team Awesome!"
Me: "It's the only paper we had!"
Mike: "Anything that can move without feet freaks me out."
Pastor: "So good he caught it twice."
and then a completely unrelated one,
Me: "Your couch is unplugged?"
ask Mom about that one.
Song of the Day: Song You Know But Forgot You Knew It
All I Really Want - Alanis Morissette
heard this one on the way there this morning and have been singing it ever since.
classic Alanis.
Now I'm off to re-wrap my leg before crashing and hard. I'm exhausted. Half and half day tomorrow which means I'll be on my feet the whole afternoon. Gonna need all the sleep I can get.
Legitimate pre-midnight post. Holy crap tag in use.
Sunday, September 1, 2013
Thank you, I saw it in the window and I just couldn't resist it.
Ah, the joys of the farmhouse.
Just watched the top 30 funniest moments in TV history with Mom.
This one was my favorite even though it didn't make number one.
DEAD!
Though this clip is the reason I watched the show in the first place.
Awesome.
I didn't have much to say yesterday so I didn't post.
Worked 'til 6. Queen of the Known Universe and I were tied to the hip, which is actually kind of fun as she is pretty much my best friend at the work branch now.
If she leaves me for a boy too then I'm screwed.
Went home to pack then headed to the farm to watch the Husker game.
Good god, what happened?!
I mean, I'm glad we won, but what happened?
Sportscasters were saying we're supposed to win by 30 and we win by 3?
I was shocked that Bo wasn't mad in that exit interview.
But you know, it's a new season and we have a lot of people fighting for spots so they had to try them each out to see who plays the best in game situations.
Still, they almost came back and won it. That would have been bad.
Anyway, after that I went to bed semi-early for me. Fell asleep on the couch watching SNL and woke up at 7 when Mom walked past and went "what the?"
Woops.
Went back to bed, in my actual bed, 'til 9:30, went to church and then the fun began.
More camp stuff - huzzah! Went through 2 cameras with 1500 pictures and lowered them down to just 400.
Last year we included like 700 but this year there were a lot of doubles, blurry ones and people facing in the other direction so you couldn't see who they were.
Oh, for those of you who don't know, for the camp I direct we send out picture CD's every year.
We're a bit late this year, but at least they're out.
And posted to Facebook. With 150 viewers in less than an hour.
Take that everyone who says we're doing it wrong!
Well, person who says we're doing it wrong.
Well, person who says I'm doing it wrong.
Along with the CD goes a letter that thanks people and asks for feedback.
I'm sure I'll get one blasting everything I did. Read my camp highlights and you'll understand: Now Rhonda Has No Honda
But I'm past it. She can say all she wants. And I don't care because the rest of the crew is on my side.
And we have fun together. Like today, ordered pizza, joked around for a couple hours before finally completing our master CD's.
Then made plans for tomorrow.
Cause guess what tomorrow is?!
Church softball tournament.
We're gonna rock it.
We play Plymouth in the morning then a combo team after that, then break for lunch, then play Plymouth again in the afternoon.
Cause it's a rivalry. They beat us earlier this month, but this time it's on our turf. And we won it last year.
Go here: Unhook the Plow
So I'm off to bed cause I want to be all rested up for tomorrow.
Last year I stayed up 'til 4ish the night before, can't do that again.
Meeting up at 9:30 for our game at 10. Talked one of my old play kids to join the fun. And she's good so she'll dominate.
I'll attempt not to break open my leg again but I can't make any promises.

When you see my signal, unleash hell.
I told Superwoman this morning that today was gonna rock.
I was wearing my ass-kicking boots, I got my evaluation back and rocked that sucker, I had my iced coffee and it was Friday!
Take that world.
The day actually started off highly amusing.
Had to wake up early so I could drive my nephew to school. Picked him up at the house and then dropped him off.
So he's getting out of the car and I'm like, "do you have your lunch? don't forgot your backpack" and then I was like whoa.
Mom moment.
Flash forward to me dropping off children with train lunch boxes.
From there it got even more entertaining. Had time to stop for coffee, got my evaluation and a raise, worked the desk, worked the lab, trained a volunteer, checked stuff in, worked the desk some more and then I was off and headed over to Oldest Sister's house for movie night.
We got sushi, huzzah for takeout! Watched some tennis, good god, I'm glad we didn't watch all 4 hours of that match, I don't know how they were still playing...It was on when we put the movie in and it was still going after the movie was over.
And speaking of the movie, holy crap have you seen this one?
Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters.
Awesomeness, but so much darker than I expected to be.
A lot of funny moments though and I really like these actors. Jeremy Renner obviously you've got The Avengers, MI4, Bourne Legacy, and then you've got Gemma Arterton aka Io from Clash of the Titans and Quantum of Solace.
Plus - and it drove me nuts the whole movie I had to look it up - Famke Janssen the mom from the Taken movies and also a former Bond girl.
So we enjoyed our sushi and Second Sister stopped by cause her and the husband had a sushi date night of their own.
Quotes of the Night:
Oldest Sister: "He kept pushing on it asking 'does that hurt?'"
Me: "You should have kicked him in the head and asked if that hurt. Then called it a reflex."
Second Sister: "Well no one ever says 'you have great dog breath.'"
and of course
Gretel: *after man explodes all over everyone* "The Curse of Hunger for Crawling Things. I f*cking hate that one."
Now I'm home and watching Hollywood Game Night.
"Where's the bald picture of her? I know when that happened!"
I would have done better with the Britney timeline than I would have with the top toys one.
Alright, on to the music:
Upside Down - Paloma Faith
I rather like this one. Downloaded it today off iTunes and jammed out to it for the rest of the day.
So the irony in this next song is that I'm following this car:
Look at the license plate - Auntee M - and then this song starts to play:
Defying Gravity - Idina Menzel
Coincidence?
For those of you who don't know, Idina sang this song in the musical production of Wicked which is based off the book series by Gregory Maguire about the Wizard of Oz, more specifically the wicked witch's story.

"Have a good weekend. Catch a wave." "I'll try."
Ah, today.
I'm really digging these half days.
Work branch from 9-1, lasagna for lunch - huzzah for Thursday specials across the street - then headed over to the practicum from 2-5.
Work was interesting. Opened first floor, worked more on my booklists. I actually finished the nonfiction banned books one, so now I can work on my Ornery Old Men and Million Dollar Crazy booklists without feeling guilty.
Cause that one had a due date while the others I'm clear until February.
I'm coming up with some interesting characters for both lists, and there's a lot of crossover.
Perhaps I will post them on here.
When they're finished.
Right now I'm having fun coming up with names and then researching why they fit in each booklist.
After that it was back to the desk and then I covered second floor by myself. Which inevitably meant there would be computer issues. But it was fine, our IT was all over it but I had to leave before they resolved the issue.
The afternoon was the real fun. We finally made it through all of our boxes of books and now we went over to the men's building because it has bookshelves in it with books on them. So, we went through and decided what to keep, what to toss, and then stamped the ones we kept.
So we're stamping and chatting and all the sudden Mr. Bossman Tom starts singing Beach Boys.
And I was like, hey! I love the Beach Boys! I grew up listening to their music along with the Beatles, Johnny Cash, Joni Mitchell, etc.
So we keep stamping and he keeps singing and we have these two internet computers and all the sudden he's like, we should test these so he pulls up YouTube and plays this video here:
So for the rest of the afternoon we had this playing in the background as we stamped and sorted.
It was highly entertaining and as I was leaving he told me to "catch a wave" this weekend.
Like I said, Mr. Bossman Tom is awesome.
Practicum Count-Up: 14 hours
After practicum I headed out to see the boyfriend cause he's headed off to South Dakota for the weekend. I basically watched as he packed up his motorcar stuff and then we went out to dinner. But it was good to see him before he left.
Quote of the Day:
Aside from "catch a wave" of course.
We're driving to dinner and there's this big dude walking through the parking lot and the boyfriend is driving and we're waiting on this dude to walk faster - and he doesn't - and I'm like, "don't hit him". He responds "I won't hit him with your car. Bubba would end up in your lap."
After that headed home, wrote up my practicum report for August, submitted it and now I'm out. Early morning tomorrow taking Bubby to school.
But at least I'll have time to stop for coffee. I hope.

All aboard the Babe Wagon!
You know how there are blah days and then there are really exciting days?
Today was one of the latter.
It all started with the Babe Wagon.
So the NLA - Nebraska Library Association - conference is coming up in October and Queen of the Known Universe and I have decided to carpool.
Since we need to be there by 8AM we'll have to leave at 5AM which means she's driving, cause clearly anything with me before 10 is questionable.
And, instead of driving her van 3 hours to the middle of nowhere, she has decided we should rent a pickup.
And not just any truck, a nice fancy one.
She's semi-obsessive about trucks, it's highly entertaining.
Combining this stylin' rental truck and our experiences this past week - aka getting hit on more than usual - The New Guy has dubbed it the "Babe Wagon".
Which we enjoy and have decided to chronicle our adventures with the Babe Wagon.
So look forward to that in October. I know I will.
The working title is "Adventures of the Babe Wagon" because if we were to call it "Adventures in the Babe Wagon" it might be taken as something else entirely.
We're thinking about getting t-shirts and having random men sign them with fake phone numbers.
1-800-CALL-ME!
and the like.
I'm sure Superwoman would LOVE us for that.
So most of the day - when we weren't swamped - we joked about the Babe Wagon.
Which made it quite the exciting day.
Add to that Mom - who is determined to remain the favorite staff mom - stopped by with cookies and fruit for the staff. We put them in the circ workroom and they were gone soon after.
So they were all thankful and she remains the favorite.
Plus the Library Judge and I had a conversation about the stereotypes of retired librarians.
We couldn't think of anything other than they get bored and become volunteers.
Which is true of one such retired librarian. :)
After work I came home, showered and vacuumed for reasons at work that will remain unexplained.
Then attempted to log-on to my online class for half an hour with no success.
Me, thinking it was just me having computer problems, started freaking out. Attempted calling both professors - to no avail - emailed them - to no avail - and then I thought, when in doubt, call the Library Goddess.
Cause she always knows what to do.
And yet again, she was the voice of reason saying: it's probably the site not your computer, give it time, don't freak out, you'll be fine.
And when the Library Goddess declares it to be fine then all is fine.
And she was right, it was the site not my computer, and the professor was able to email us a link that worked and we went from there.
It's so weird not having an assignment due for that class until September 22nd.
I'm too used to Summer classes when everything is due right away cause we only have a month.
Next up for me though is practicum paper #1 - we have one due at the end of each month - which is more of a progress report really. And then I think there's like a final final paper to sum it all up.
I'm sure I'll have even more to say after tomorrow.
And he came in today - which he does pretty much daily - and joked around with Superwoman.
I was helping a patron but I could hear my name and them laughing.
Which she does just cause I'm gullible.
Apparently cause I'm "sunny and happy" at the practicum I need to be "sunny and happy" at 9AM at work.
But, as previously mentioned, anything before 10AM is questionable. Which is why BossLady always schedules herself to be around if I'm scheduled to count money.
Just cause she knows about every 10 minutes she'll hear me yelling for her.
But I can't help it if it doesn't add up right.
So work was fun and class turned out okay, now Carter and I are watching Robin Hood.
The original animated movie from the 70's.
"Hiss! You're never around when I need you!"
This was always my favorite of the Disney movies.
Though I don't remember it being this depressing.
I've been watching a lot of Disney movies lately.
That clip from Little Mermaid over and over - scroll down a few posts, you'll find it - plus Sword in the Stone which is under-rated and awesome.
Though they all remind me of this particular Sketch and Edit.
Sketch and Edit Watch a Movie
Based off a speech by one of my friends in college and then expanded upon.
"Seize the fat one!"
Oh, well that's PC.
What's "Corpulent"? Searching Google.
Ohh, I like it.
I'm gonna use it.
Alright, off to bed after this.
