I wanna be like you guys!

So I've been looking at all my friends' blogs and getting a whole lot less done at work, you all know how that goes. But I really wanted to start one myself. I'm almost over myspace and I can't quite get into facebook cause too many people give me snowmen and Christmas trees and crazy icons to add like "hug a tree" or "be a tree" or whatever. I just can't keep up!
I figured maybe this would be a better way to keep in touch with people I haven't talked to lately- i.e. all those ADPis that are poppin' out babies like whoa! Congrats to all of them, by the way! Their families are all so cute (I mean the ones wihtout babies too) and reading all these little entries makes me miss 'em. I mean, I'm a writer! I can do this!

As a quick up-to-date on my life, I'm a Children's Library Associate at the Drs. Bruce & Lee Foundation Library in Florence. My job is outreach to the branches in our system; taking our programs to them when they can't come to us. So I do story times all week! I travel to the branches, local elementary schools and daycares and ride along on the BookMobile to do storytimes for the kids. And I LOVE IT! It's quite a fun job to have while I'm in grad. school trying to get my Masters in Library Science in order to be the real "lady behind the desk." My hope is to be the Media Specialist in an elementary school one day and be back in the school system working 7:30-4pm with 2 &1/2 week long Christmas vacations and summers off!
Meanwhile I still write monthly for She! Magazine and I'm dating the sweetest, most wonderful man, who just happens to be the brother-in-law of one of my best friends in the whole world, Retta Fox. I tell ya, God is so gracious and He provides for so much more than I could ever have asked for! I love my life and the people in it!

Can't wait to catch up with you guys! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
