* I am loving my new job. It is so wonderful. I get to be silly and creative! I don't have to worry about red tape and boring meetings. I get to use puppets and costumes. I get to read wonderful books. I get hugs when I walk into a room! It is wonderful! So joyful!

The only thing I must say that the down time between classes can be a bit boring. There is only so much prep time that I need. I go around and ask others if they need help with anything and most of the time it is no. Need to come up with a fantastic project to keep myself occupied. Hopefully once I compile the information from the Library surveys I should be able to getting working on the Library card drive. The Library is so much different than when I was a kid. It's not just filled with MUSTY OLD BOOKS. There are computers, videos, CDs, Magazines! Wonderful Programs!! PLUS.....IT'S FREE!!!

Speaking of Library programs....Michael and I just went to a Storytelling performance. Very fantastic. A good laugh!!

Still been thinking a lot about volunteerism. With this new position, my schedule is a little bit more flexable and I could possibly have a day off to devote to volunteering. I'm not quite sure what I want to do. Girl Scouts? Church? Hospital Volunteer? Women's Shelter volunteer. There is just so much out there. My heart is just to help. I want to help do something. I hate being idle. I like being busy. I like being proactive and productive. I hate just sitting around. I HATE MEETINGS. What to do?

Off to bed!

Don't know which class or crop I want to go to at Archivers. Arggggg!!!

Some the wonderful scrappers out there sent a R.A.K (Random Act of Kindness) to a guy in Utah. We sent our unused and unneeded stickers to him. Here is a link

I love to surprise people!! When I worked at STJA I was the Random Acts of Kindness lady. I left flowers,magnets,mugs,and candy for many of the teachers and students at the school. It was so fun to sneek into their classrooms and leave the special treat!! :D My favorite teacher, Mrs. Zuccaro who still worked at STJA received some pink roses. I heard through the grapevine that she thought her husband sent them. Or maybe her priest. Ha! Ha!!!

I love to surprise people!!! :D

I actually moved to Cincinnati because of Find Your Spot.Com. Back in 2004 I was looking around the internet for summer jobs. I came across Find Your Spot. Com. It has a quiz about your likes and dislikes. Anyway....Cincinnati was #1 on my list. So when I was looking for a summer job that year I narrowed my search to the Cincinnati area! I ended up finding a wonderful internship at a church in Cincinnati.

I retook the quiz tonight. Here is my list that fits me!!!

1. Cincinnati
2. Carlise, PA
3. Cleveland, OH
4. Albany, NY
5. Minneapolis,MN
6. Altoona, PA
7. Duluth
8. Rocheschter, MN
9. Indianaplis, IN
10. Harrisburg, PA
11. Grand Rapids, MI
12. Columbus, OH
13. Roanoke, Va
14. St. Cloud, MN
15. St. Louis
16. Norfolk, VA
17. Bloomington, IN
18. Bismark, ND
19. Erie, PA
20. Syracuse, NY
21. Toledo, OH
22. Mansfield, OH

I guess Ohio and PA are good choices for me!!! Yahoooo!!!

I LOVE my new position. It is really sooooooooo much fun! I can't believe that I get paid to dress in silly costumes and read wonderful books to children. It is a lot less stressful than being a classroom teacher. I have been getting home at a decent hour and am able to do other things. Yesturday, I bakes cookies, cleaned the bathroom, and talked to Stephanie for an hour and a half after work! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!!! Today I decorated the cover to my wedding scrapbook! :D Yehawwww!!! :D



Here is a picture















Maybe Stephanie and I will get the chance to go out for coffee tomorrow! We are so much alike it is scary :D

Ciao,
Em
