When It's Rainy Outside and You're Stuck At Work

...especially on a holiday weekend :-( then fool around in your blog and take blog quizzes! See below:

You Are Miami

Sexy and beautiful, you turn heads wherever you go.
A little spicy and a little exotic, you're fully aware of your unique appeal.
Totally high energy, you keep the party going early into the morning.

Famous Miami residents: Anna Kournikova, OJ Simpson, Enrique Iglesias


Now I don't know how they can discern that from my answering only 5 questions, but whatever. I guess that's one reason S loves me so much, since Miami is his favorite place on earth.

Right now it is just after 10am on a dark, rainy Saturday morning and it is really quiet in here. I don't think the heat or the blower is turned on but the air is totally still and my typing is making me self-conscious, it feels like it's so loud. Still, there's no one around me at the moment although a couple of crazed students have needed assistance at this early hour!

We had a lovely Thanksgiving, enjoyed with the family and even my father. I ate 1 1/2 plates and damn was it good. Then we veged on the couch for about 5 hours and watched this car racing show, Pinks. S couldn't move his eyes from the screen (he's a former street car racer, including the use of nitrous; I do NOT approve!) but indeed, it was somewhat interesting to watch. The baby played with her cousins and my Uncle, who has a magical ability with cats and kids.

Yesterday S had to go up to Mano's house to work on S's car, an all-day project. So the baby and I met up with my girlfriend S. and her 2 daughters for a day of fun at the Chirren's Museum! And fun it was. I never get to see S. hardly ever b/c we are both so busy with work and family. But she is going to assist me with a library card project at my Job #2 since she is a branch manager at the local public library so hopefully we'll be on each other's radar more often now. At the museum I took a look at us, with 2 small girls, a tiny baby in a big-ass stroller, and a pile of jackets, purses, snacks, coffee, wipes, etc., and I said, "Can you believe we're two old married ladies with kids?!?!" Seriously, I remember when we were just a couple of hip young librarians with not very much to worry about.

Tonight we are going to L.'s house so we can watch the boxing PPV and the baby can play with L.'s troublesome son. Then tomorrow I have to be back here at Job #1 to work again! But at least Sunday is the short shift, from 1-6, or in my case, 1-ish to 5:45-ish!
