The Friday Update

For those weird weeks when I really had no Finds.. insane.. I know..

So, what's up with me?

  • Started my new job - but no kids yet this week.
  • Will start teaching/hanging around the lab for the tech curriculum next week
  • Hopefully going to meet with my mentor and figure out how to start ordering books!
  • I got contacted by Junior Library Guild today about their cool ordering program (met them at ALA).
  • Won a contest or two.
  • Lined up some cool author interviews and some new books to review (hopefully some will come this week!)
  • Thinking about zombies...
  • Two more books to read to hit the 10 book mark for the comment contest - if I fail, I'll throw in a few free e-books I have.
  • Trying to figure out how to make dishwashing manageable with my commute and new schedule.
  • Figure if I'm religious about it - I can finish an audiobook or two a week.
Hrmmmmmmm what else.

My grandmother is driving me nuts and we've eliminated regular food from the wedding reception - changed the time to 2-4 instead of 2-5. I need to get to Galena hopefully before 9 pm!

Alright, I'm so incredibly exhausted. Yay for Friday - one more full day of work (which is sucking right now because all I'm doing is typing kids' names into a billion different programs). Oh yeah and I don't have a library display up! *panics*

Weekend plans:
LAUNDRY!
Reading...
Blog work (most def.)
Watch a movie - possibly... one? Or at least finish my Black Lagoon disc from Netflix (I admit to being an anime geek).
Clean part of my apartment.. not sure which part. . .
and ... Sunday dinner with the future in-laws (as usual).

Okay, random facts about me:
-Supposedly I have a cute sneeze.. sound wise at least.
-My favorite TV show as a kid was Gummi Bears
-I love rock music - Breaking Benjamin, Sick Puppies, and much much more (but I listen to all sorts of other genres too).
-I'm growing my hair out for my wedding and I hate dealing with tangles... seriously, I haven't had a tangle since I was a kid! Grrr.


Alright, that's about it. Hey, can you guys do me a favor?

Yes?

AWESOME!

Okay, ask me some questions, anything you like... and then when I don't have any Friday finds, I'll post the answers! Or next week... if you're all dying to know.

Thanks!

    I'm thinking, dreaming, breathing zombies - if they aren't too careful, I'm sure I'll be eating them very very soon! :D

    Questions...
    1) Team Zombie or other? What made you decide to be on Team Zombie or other?

    2) What book would you recommend as a good cheer-me-upper?

    3) What would you do for some delicious cookies?

    4) What are your favorite cookies?

    5) If there was a massive fire that burned all books but one and you could save only one book, which one would you save and why?

    6) What 3 writers/authors would you have a slumber party with and what would you do?

    7) How many fingers am I holding up as I type this?

    You got a busy week!
    umm.. thinking questions...
    Ok I got some!

    1. Some food that you can't be near because you find it disgusting?

    2. First book you read? (and I mean first, it doesn't matter if it have more pictures than letter)

    3. I like your 5 question Epic Rat! So if there was a massive fire what book would you throw to the fire?

    Well that is all for now folks!

    4. Book, movie and song which you cried the most. (For instance, a movie for me, Bambi)

    5. Gift that somebody gave you and you didn't like at all. and when I say you didn't like I mean that you thought about throwing it to his/her face.

    6. Do you have pets? yes? name,kind? no? why? would like in the future?

    7. Why did you chose this job? You wanted to do it since you were a child?

    Once upon a time, I was a teacher and I remember so well those prestudent days. Enjoy your peace.

    The gummy bears? Were they on with the smurfs?

    If you could shift into any form, what would it be?

    Finally somebody that remembers Gummi Bears! Usually if I mention that show, people look at me funny! I used to love it.

    You have an award over at my blog: http://harlequintwilightsbookblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/award-time.html

    Being outrageously busy, while occasionally fun, can really suck!

    Questions:
    What is your favorite adult book? What is your favorite YA? What is your favorite children's/picture book? (That's a run on question)

    What is your favorite boardgame?

    What is your favorite videogame?

    Are you a night person or a day person?

    What made you want to be a librarian, besides the sexy librarian outfits LOL?

    Wow! Busy busy. We're doing a meme a little like this too- or at least asking for questions. It's fun. XD

    Question: If you could only live on one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Don't worry, you'd remain healthy.

    Hmm a question?

    For your wedding if you couldn't find a dress which would you rather wear a duck suit with lots of weird designs on it and lots of bows or wear a curtain with like no style to it(I mean like just tied so it stays on)and the color is barf green.

    You are one busy girl! I like rock music too, but my fav would have to be Three Days Grace.

    And I haven't heard of a show called Gummi Bears.

  19. A Passion For BooksAugust 29, 2009 at 12:32 AM

    Questions...ummm I'm not sure if these have been asked. I don't really want to read everyone else's comments to find out. So here goes nothing

    1. What got you started on reading? (was it a certain book, a person, or just reading in general)

    2. What are your favorite genres to read? and Why?

    3. Do you have any other hobbies you enjoy, besides reading?

    My brain has gone blank. If I think of anymore, I'll let you know.

    I <3 Breaking Benjamin. Diary of Jane and Blow Me Away are my all-time faves. Have you listened to Blurry by Puddle of Mudd? You might like it.
