Hunger

Some moments of late...
a new restaurant


 a new obsession with Epiphany Crafts little bubbles
 a new way to import old photos into instagram
 a new way to wear a scarf
 a new (to me) pair of Pradas

 lots of gorgeous sunrises

 one of the reasons students love the library? the thrill of finding the penny. It's funny how a newbie will come in pick it up and say, "what happens if I find the penny?" "I put your name on a list on my bulletin board." "That's lame." then they spend the next 30 minutes searching for the penny and proudly show me and ask me to put their name on the board.

 Please momma when can I go in?
 Drive your tractor to school day

 Another Moby meeting that was food for the soul with this great gal.
 A welcome end to dodgeball drama. Harbor ended up on a team taking second place.
 Marina finished off her frosty paws
 I made something off Pinterest! Yeah its not just for pinning!

 Hunger Games lead in
 Winter Jam 2012 listening to Kari Jobe. Amazing.
Soon summer will be here and things will slow down. They will.
Last night I went to see Hunger Games the movie and it was good. Several problems with it but more good than not.

The Ides of March? Really?

Gotta slow down and remember why I started blogging. To slow down.
Missed an OOTD pic from February...
My view 8 hours a day...
 Our newest obsession... Scramble
 Last night we met friends at Don Pablo's before attending Winter Jam 2012. WJ has been around for more than a decade and I am horrified that I've missed it but I plan to go back next year with more people! Skillet, Sanctus Real, Keri Jobe, New Song.. good stuff~
Apparently I've entered into a reading competition with a coworker/friend this year. 
I turned her onto Shelfari last year and she saw me set a goal. She set a goal and now she's kicking my butt! So anywho lately I've reading...

The Gazebo- Grayson
A romance suggested by a teenage boy. Yeah. That's why I read it. And its ok.  
            Leviathan- Westerfeld
            My first steampunk. Good but not great.
            Skinny B* at Home
           I read her first book and this is more of the same. I love her. It. The whole thingamageig.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn- Twain
Started over a year ago. Again astounded at the readability of the classics. Funny stuff. 
Murder is binding- Lorna Barret
Picked up from the public library and I like it. Fun fluff.
Scott Pilgrim: Vol. 1 Precious Little Life
Another teenage boy recommendation. Again. Ok. 


Friday night shopping led me into Ulta for BB creme. Cashier didn't know what I was asking for but another worker did. They didn't have the brand I asked for but I bought a different one and I like it/love it. Then I stumbled on  Hunger Games nail polish to go with my Hunger Games pin I've worn all week.
Added some images from Instyle April 2012 to my Pinterest because its an awesome issue!

I see that I never commented on the Clothing Swap I went to last month. Maybe that's because it was a major fail. Seriously. Talked up online then didn't follow through. Won't return. Why? Stained clothes with holes in them, ripped, shredded even. Old. Shrunk. Disgusting. I got maybe 2 items then grabbed my own stuff and left. Pitiful.

We have coworkers whose 4 yr old has cancer. A complete change of perspective. I'm not saying much on this front but I'm feeling it.

Finally saying goodbye to February

Saturday!
Last evening I met with the Mobies for the second time. I. Love. This. Group. First we ate and drank, then we talked about everything but Moby, then we settled down to business.
These are people I talk with, not to or who just talk to me.
3 of us spent the night and solved the world's problems over breakfast. Lovely morning I'll never forget and helped us all heal us a little.
Then I came home, crafted and watched
The Librarian: Quest for the Spear

and
The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines
Two extremely cheesy movies only a librarian could love. 

A little behind on photos...
loving instagram
 Bub finished up basketball season and we celebrated w pizza
 we haven't had a snow day or even a delay, even on this day when it looked like star wars on the way to school with the snow flying at the windshield (enhanced pic)
 we've  had donut fever lately and this day was a letdown

 our book club discussed A Guide to the birds of East Africa and had an Indian dinner
