LIFE, THE WORLD, AND OTHER THINGS STRANGE AND UNUSUAL

And so it has come to pass that half a year has flown by in a blur.  I don't know where the time went.

Last Tuesday, I did my first session of Summer Reading Program.  I thought it went well.  I think the kids were receptive to it.  I hope I get some repeaters.  We made poetry where you take a page and circle words that jump out then block out the rest.  Then I had a huge pile of poetry lines in strips and they made poems from them.

Bless public domain websites like Project Gutenburg. They have a host of works that are free to download and read and use.  52,000+ books in multiple languages.

So it will be on to next Tuesday and the next session with the Theme of Art.  du du dun!

Au revoir, mes amis.  Okay, I don't speak French, but I like the language.

I HAVE NOT DISAPPEARED. . . THOUGH IT SEEMS THAT WAY

Hi all!

I know that I've been lax in my posting since -- Um, let me go check that -- August 11th, but much of that was from real world drama.  Not my own mostly but family stuff (both blood and those I consider blood).

My own drama comes with my new job as Children's Librarian at the public library.  I started at the end of August and have been playing learn and catch up on things since then.

  I'm doing a lot of the same things I did before but with more piled on top of the rest.  The best part is I get to be Goddess of Books!  Muhahahaha!!!!

In other words (that are not so obnoxiously demented), I buy all the Easy, Juvenile, and Young Adult books now.

 How is that for sick and twisted?  Book junkie with free reign despite the budget.

I just have to keep in mind the girly girl juvenile stuff as well as the ya romancy ones too.  Sigh.

Writing and blogging have been set aside pretty much until I can get my computer fixed.  I've basically been blogging from the library when I had desk hours as a volunteer.  Not anymore because there is more work now than time I have.

The iPad is great but not conducive to effective blogging.  Pages sometimes freeze at certain points.

So that's my update in a nutshell.

Hope to blog again soon.
