Monday's Blog

Welcome to Monday, ah the beginning of a week. Today has been pretty normal. I walked back and forth from one end of the library to the other so many times that I was told to stop as I was making one of the librarians at the Circulation Desk dizzy. She said it was like watching a tennis match. I read stories to the little kids at Kandiland. My google searches included "building trebuchets" "paintballs" and "why are people who are good at Math not good at English?" Two of these three things were completely work related too. The third one has applications to the job though.

Something I don't understand. Talking first thing in the morning. Why? Usually I wake up to an empty house (I mean, my dog and cat are there but they aren't too talkative unless they want something). But some mornings my dad or my sister go into work/school late and they're in the kitchen when I zombie-walk in to make a fresh pot of coffee just the way I like it (with cinnamon), they are more morning people than I am, and while I'm crunching away on my cereal and trying to read they want to talk to me and ask me questions! Seriously, what is up with that? Then I get all grouchy because I want to be left alone to my coffee, cereal and book and also because I can't hear them over the crunching. Just like in this commercial:

Also, today is Opening Day!!!! Yes, it is finally baseball season again!!!!! I've suffered through football and basketball season (not that these are bad sports, they just don't appeal to me) and finally my sport has returned to me!

This will definitely be a highlight to my week: A little girl just skipped in loudly singing "We're gonna find a new book! We're gonna find a new book!"

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban the second time around

Sirius Black's Wanted Poster Title/Year originally published: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban/1999 When I originally read it: 1999, I believe I got it for Christmas… What I thought of it then: When I first read this book I thought parts of it were the saddest things I’d ever read. When Harry overhears that his parents’ best friend betrayed them to Voldemort and was so angry he wanted to kill Sirius Black I cried, a lot. Besides that I thought the whole Time Turner device was really nifty on J.K.'s part (yeah, we're close, I can call her that*). I loved Lupin and the fact that chocolate is the remedy for when you've had all your worst memories brought to mind by Dementors.I also always love Scabbers so I was really sad when he turned out to be the betrayer of Lily and James Potter. Sigh. When I re-read it: January 2011 What my thoughts are now: This book is so great, I can see why it's a lot of people's favorite of the series. I mean, c'mon t...

Duct Tape Pencil Bag

 1. Gather supplies.  2. Unwrap one length of duct tape and carefully set plastic bag on top. Go slowly so there are no air bubbles in the duct tape! 3. Unwrap other color of duct tape and tape the opposite side of the bag. 4. Trim extra duct tape off. 5. Continue adding duct tape (You can do all one color on each side or alternate like I did.

Decorate with stickers or permanent markers!
