    Library Story #6

    February 6, 2013 - By 

    The other night, it was just before midnight, right before I was to get off work when one of my off duty student workers, B, came to make me aware that her and a couple of her friends were in the back of our department studying. She also informed me that one of her friends, KK, took a bite of oatmeal that she had purchased from the coffee shop upstairs. Not a 10 seconds after she swallowed it, she started showing signs of an allergic reaction. B said KK’s throat was closing and that she had injected her epi-pen but…

    January’s End of the Month Summary {2013}

    February 1, 2013 - By 

    This month I was happy about: getting to spend time with friends. This month I was sad worried sick about: my top teeth that are having issues because I grind and clinch when I sleep. Something I accomplished this month was: surviving. Something new I did was: go see an oral surgeon to make sure there was not a cyst on my top gums. The verdict was no, but he recommended I get my wisdom teeth out sometime soon. Luckily, I only have top ones! I’m going to wait and see what pans out with my initial issue mentioned above.…

    How is it the end of another month? I’m just flabbergasted! Time goes by so quickly when you look back. Anyway, here’s my post about February!

    Crossed I was looking around the house for something to snap for this one. I found this and loved the way the pic turned out for it. What’s this thing called? The name of it has slipped my mind and it’s driving me crazy! A Glimpse I originally chose this picture because it showed a glimpse into this popular downtown hangout. Then, I noticed the reflection, where you see a glimpse of me! 🙂 Handwritten I enjoy participating in Postcrossing, where you send and receive postcards from all over the world.

    Cub Scout Trip 2012::McWane Center {Birmingham}

    February 23, 2012 - By 

    This past weekend we went with the cub scouts on a family trip to the McWane Center in Birmingham, Al. Such a fun place! Nearly all hands-on, very informational, just loved the place! If you ever travel to Birmingham, I recommend it. Anyway, so our family decided to get their early, so we’d have plenty of time to see all 4 floors. We were able to get through all the floors in about 5 hours and that was really allowing the boys time to stay at some of the exhibits for awhile, not just skimming over everything. We met as…

    This week…

    February 16, 2012 - By 

    This week was been a whirlwind! One of our nieces, ‘Toady,’ stayed with us this week. Her parents (Rob’s sister and her hubby) are preparing to make a big move across country, so we agreed to keep Toady, who’s the oldest of three children. Every morning we would get up and I drove her about 45 miles to her Pre-K class. I hung out at their apartment for the 3 hours that she was there and then I’d pick her up and we drove back to Auburn. It’s been fun to be able to get to know her better. She’s…

    5. Interesting Hanger: After folding clothes, I pulled out some hangers and noticed this one. Made me laugh. 6. Pine Hills: Monday, I visited a very old cemetery here in Auburn. There are many well known names in the Auburn community buried there. I got some awesome pics that I’ll be using in a post when I get done editing, researching, and writing! 🙂 7. 2016 Graduation Requirements: When Drew brought this home yesterday, I nearly broke down in tears! I can’t admit to myself that next year he will be considered a high school student. I don’t for sure…

    29. Magnolia Cherry Blossom Tree: I love these trees. I really want some in my yard. 30. Drive by shooting: Photography that is. 🙂 With some editing in Picnik. 31. RBD Auditorium: I’ve always thought this room would make for some really cool pics. I finally got around to taking some pics of it, because soon these seats will be ripped out and this will become a computer lab. I had a class in this room a few weeks ago and these seats are dreadfully uncomfortable. See more pics of the auditorium here. 1. Rain: It seems to rain here…

    Strike a Pose This is one of my awesome student workers, Marci. She was sporting her BAZINGA shirt (Big Bang Theory) the other day and I just couldn’t resist having her strike a pose. Thanks, Marci! So cute! Footwear These are not my “go to” shoes, but I like them because I usually always wear black shoes. I get excited when I put together an outfit that I can wear these. Pretty comfortable too. Hobby Reading is a hobby I try to embrace. I’ve a pretty slow reader most of the time and my comprehension has never been great. As…

    Library Story #2

    WARNING: Bathroom Story So my first silly story is about something that just happened to me here at work. This lady comes up to the Circulation desk and talks to my student worker. I noticed that she had a look of disgust as she was talking. She walks off and my student worker tells me that one of the women’s bathroom is disgusting and that she can’t even use 4 of the stalls. Luckily that bathroom has 8 stalls. I get up to go see what she’s talking about. I’m like “wow, wonder what I’ll find in here.” I’m visualizing…

Drew is… in his 2nd week of practice before time trials to determine if he makes the JV track team. Alex is… working on a 1,000 piece puzzle he got while he was visiting the USS Alabama today.

    101 in 1001

    February 18, 2011 - By 

    Over the years I’ve seen various other bloggers work towards completing 101 tasks in 1001 days. Although, I already have a bucket list, many of the tasks on my bucket list are things I’m sure I’ll never do in my life time. However with this 101 in 1001, I’ve tried to think of tasks/goals that are achievable in this time frame. Start date: Friday, February 18, 2011 End date: Friday, November 15, 2013 I would encourage you to make each day count and maybe making a list like this will give you a little motivation.
