Doppleganger!

Wow! I just created an avatar, and was it fun! Now I just have to figure out how to put it on this blog. That will be interesting.

November 7, 2007

I've given up using the Week # as title for posts, because I'm so far behind everyone else! I just finished Week # 4 (Yeah, Yeah, I know!) The RSS feeds were not easy to figure out. Every time I worked on it, I would get frustrated and give up. When I finally asked Jennifer for help, I figured it out just before she got here - isn't that just the way! After working on this for so long, two quotes seem to sum it up:
"In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: it goes on."
Robert Frost
"Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane."
Philp K. Dick

I'm Back!

Well, I've been out for quite a while - the last time I looked at this was back on August 12! We've been slammed here, and I spent 3 weeks out on medical leave (the worst vacation I've ever had!) I'm still working on Week 3 items (yes, I'm a little behind!). It was fun creating a trading card. I can see where librarians might have fun with it - creating card for kids with their favorite book characters and all. I created one for my daughter, but she might not appreciate it! (She is an avid fan of Phantom of the Opera!)

Week 3 #2

I thought I would try posting and searching flickr from home, to catch up on the 23 things we are all doing, but you know, when you have dial up internet at home, this just takes too long! And trying to view a video or anything like that, just doesn't work. Well, I guess I'll go back to the drawing board, and work on it later.

Week #3

Well, here is post #2. We have been just slammed here, and I feel guilty working on this when we have so much work to do. There is something to be said for taking a break and coming back to work fresh. . . . This has been fun, and a nice break from the usual work day. I have been wandering through flickr, and had fun finding all those loons! Maybe next time I'll try to find a "looney loon" to post.

Week #2

Hi, Y'all!

I guess with this kind of a blog name, I'll have to figure out how to live up to it!

When my kids were little (they are 21 and 18) we would - and I guess still do -
create "nonsense rhymes" and string them together in sentences. Sometimes the
results are hilarious, most times just . . . lame? (The Looney Library Lady . . . Lives to Laugh
Last? . . . Lands Lightly in the Loam? . . . Loves Linguistics? . . . Loves her Laudanum? . . .
Maybe she just needs her laudanum!

Both my kids are voracious readers, but they just roll their eyes now when I come out with one of those . . . what would you call them? I don't think it would be appropriate to list their comments here. (Aw, Mom!)

Well, I hope my next posts improve on this one. If we had a vote on the most lame blogs, this one just might rank right up there with the best - or is it the worst?!
