Happy Valentines Day!

I need some flowers and a Valentine. Armando is freezing and working in Indianapolis till March.

The trees are snowing pink blossoms and the kids are making Valentines with the flowers I scored yesterday. I have 4 colors or 5 and I made mini boquets for a teacher I like, the bookkeeper, who I try to not tick off, the attendance clerk, my Assistant, and for the kids I gave them school "bucks".

The kids got chocolate brownies. I only had 5 kids for making Valentine's and only 2 for the literary magazine. I was there an extra hr. I'll give the Burger King gift certificate to one who made one for his mom who works 3 jobs and whose uncle killed himself 2 days ago.

I go to the chiropractor today. I have been working my tail off on the computer so my neck and shoulders ache. I got referred to a new Dr. too.

I sent off my Christmas/New Years photos as well. I made a Valentines posstcard too on snapfish.

I had some chocolate and a nap and now I feel like I can function some more.

I found out we print 50 copies of the magazine and borrow the money from an acct. and repay it after the sales.

Asparagus is on sale.


I made scallops with sherry, mushrooms, lemon and risotto for dinner.

With break starting Monday and my need to get my list done to purchase over break and get all my book fair books cataloged and the literary magazine ready to be sent to the printer I need twice the time. The regular stuff gets done too.

I figured I would haul my stuff home over break and work on my book order over break. I'll borrow a workbook from a seminar I missed to help. The English dept. head went but I didn't see the notice. It also was 700. and I felt guilty goin, didn't know the other librarian's were going or that the district would fund it.

Ya gotta know the questions to ask No-One offers anything!!! (I knew that)

I just got the book The Invention of Hugo Cabret, the Caldicott winner and need to go to the library to pick it up.

Just finished one by Iris Johanson called

Pandora's Daughter

. and am starting the latest Spenser novel. I also need to read Body Surfing because my LIBRARY ASSIsTANT challenged me on the content.

Armando called me last night and we spoke for an hour or three. He almost talked me to sleep in Spanish. He's working hard in Indianapolis 12 hr. days.

He says there are a lot of black people there, not too many whites or Mexicans. I laughed. I told him the white people were there but they moved to the suburbs just like in D.C.
