I know it's been awhile...

...but time is speeding away. Work has been very busy lately. Monday I went and presented a Reader's Advisory program to 5 classes of 8th Graders. It was very tiring but also fun. After months and years of delays and problems the new library is taking shape. The rafters are in the air and the roof and brick work will hopefully start in the next 3-4 weeks. We were very sad to lose our construction site supervisor to lung cancer last week but his replacement is really cracking the whip and getting things done.

It's a brand new year and I know not to make a resolution to keep my blog updated because I know I'll forget it. I realize I need a resolution to get healthy but that's not one I'm interested in keeping right now either. The resolution that I decided on was to do things that I've wanted to do but have always been scared to try. I'm not talking dangerous things like bungee jumping but more along the lines of things that I think would make me look foolish or would draw attention to myself. The first thing I did was put purple highlights in my hair. It was so light nobody even noticed so I'm finishing the bottle and trying it again. My teaching experience on Monday was also a step outside of my comfort zone.

My next big adventure is going to Minneapolis for National Public Library Association Conference in March.
