Slacker

OK, it’s official, I’ve been slacking off on this little blog. I got sick and busy and lost in my own head, a problem I suffer from from time to time. I’m quite prone to getting lost in my own labyrinth of a mind.

Let’s see… I’m ok with the new hair, it’s meh but it is pretty much for a Halloween costume so … whatever, it’s fine. I’m going to re-dye it soon, go lighter. got most of my costume worked out and now need some parties to go to. I have a couple of friends throwing parties so it shouldn’t be a problem. I’m no longer sick, just still tired and dragging, so improvement!

I’m a teen librarian, as you probably already know, and I run a Teen Advisory Board Group every month. This past Monday I had 9 kids show up! I usually get 3-4 so this is a big deal to me. My programs haven’t been super well attended but I think I am having some small impact. The kids love my ideas but showing up is a whole other thing, it’s tough I know, they have to have the motivation/energy and most of them need their parents to drive them, another hurdle, so I get it. (NINE!!! ^_^) They are very excited for the Harry Potter movie showing I have planned for December with Butterbeer and word puzzles which can be completed for a chance to win hand made house scarves …which I REALLY need to get working on. I have kids interested in staring an LGBT club, kids who want to get together for arts and crafts, kids who want a book club and …wow, that’s already a LOT of stuff for me to manage on top of all the other things we’ve got going. (TAB, Pathfinder and 1-2 random programs per month)

It’s kind of amazing having a job I care about and where I am making some kind of difference. I love it.
