So for my Girl Scout Gold Award, I started a story time at my library. The first "meeting" was today, and sure we only got two kids, but it was fun. I was really nervous, since I haven't done a story time in my life, I did a book club for tweens, but never a story time. I think it went well, I can't wait until next month!
What have you started in your community?
Till Next Time,

The Super Bowl!
Okay, so as most of you should know, last night was the Super Bowl, and the teams well weren't the best teams out there (like the Giants). But I love the new commericals, they're awesome! But last night feeling bad for the Saints I cheered them on, and guess what they won! I'll give you some backgrond on the Saints. The Saints were started 8 months after the first Super Bowl, so that means that they've been able to play in 43, they've only played in one and that was the 44th Super Bowl, and guess what they won it! My favorite play was when the Saints intercepted the ball and ran all the way to the endzone, a great play! Now my favorite commerical, was the Google commercial. Being a woman it was very cute :)
What was your favorite Superbowl Ad?

Wedding March
Okay, so the only thing that I wanted from my parents for Christmas was a keyboard. I got the keyboard stand, but not the keyboard, it was on back order. I waited like a patient little girl I am, but come January 25th, and it still didn't come in, I asked dad to see where it was, guess what it was on permanent back order, great! The only gift that I wanted for Christmas was on back-order!! Dad then asked me if I wanted to wait, I said sure, so we waited a week, and it was still on back-order, so dad then found another keyboard, and ordered that one. This keyboard came in yesterday, and I've been playing with it ever since!
One of the pre-programmed songs is the Wedding March, I currently can play like four measures, which is pretty cool! So hopefully you'll be seeing a video of me playing the Wedding March or any song on my keyboard!

Random Dozen
This weeks Random Dozen is from 2nd Cup of Coffee, and I have to say Linda does an amazing job with these questions and keeping this up, unlike me who can barely do a Musical Monday. Yes I know, pathetic
1. Do you use the labels various charities send you as “free gifts?” Yup, my mommy did, so when I sent letters I would use her address labels.
2. What is your favorite time of day (or night) for skywatching? Night, I get to see Orion's belt.
3. What is the most adventurous you've ever been with trying a new food? (Keep it G-rated please) Trusting Bob with feeding me, he ended up feeding me fried calamari, I still like it, but I was not a happy little girl when he told me I just ate squid.
4. Have you ever heard a rock sing? (Trust me, there's a reason for this one!) Have you? (can I get the reason now?)
5. If you could learn a language you don't presently speak, what would it be? Spanish, just so I can stop getting emails in Spanish/know what my library director is emailing (really long story to that one, maybe I'll make a blog about it)
6. Al Capone's tombstone read, “My Jesus, Mercy.” If you could write your own epitaph, what would it say? "I didn't really die, if you want to find me, go to my library"
7. If you were a famous musician who was known by one name, like “Cher,” “Sting,” or “Jewel,” what would it be? It doesn’t have to be your first name, but it can be, if you’d like. Troi (like Dianna Troi from Star Trek)
8. Have you ever been inordinately “into” a television show? Possibly, I don't know
9. When you sneeze, do you go big, or do you do that weird “heenh!” sound that makes people think you’re going to blow your brains out? Any other variation we should know about? I make a little squewk, my brother and father make fun of me for it.
10. Do you still read an actual newspaper that you hold in your hands, or do you get your news elsewhere? I read the newspaper, but also watch the news
11. Are you a good speller? Nope, writing my novel helped me, and then sending emails to people like Mrs. T, E, and J I'll get a whole spelling list back, but since using Firefox, they have a little red line appear under a word you misspelled :)
12. At what time each day do you start thinking aboutLost lunch? Lost, never, don't really like the show. . .Lunch, usually when I get hungry and I had breakfast already.

Growing Up To Fast?
I have to say, I've always been the more responsible out of my age group, even above my age group. I would go to Kentucky with my church, the teenagers would be at the bonfire, I would want to be reading my book. I would be on the Confirmation Retreat with my church, the teenagers would make comments about who's the hottest boy at the retreat, I would want to actually pay attention to what the adult was saying. Most of the teenagers would call adults by there first name, I'm trying to change that for me, I know call all of my adult friends Mrs., Ms., or Mr., very rarely do I call them by their first name, unless they want me to.
Just recently I was decorating a poster board for a story time that I'm putting on and let's just say that I'm not the most creative person out there. The director of the library Mrs. T, asked me where my creativty was, and that I needed to embrace my inner child. Since then I've been thinking, maybe I do need to embrace my inner-child, maybe I need to realize that I grew up a little too fast, I didn't enjoy my life as a child as an actual child, I cared too much about making money, wanting to buy a CD (Certificate of Deposit), what stock to invest in, politics, reading, nothing like Barbies, ponies (ok well I did care about ponies), my hair, dresses, etc. So I've made myself a reselution with my birthday coming up, I'm going to spend the next year, embracing my inner-child, I'm going to do the stuff that I should have never let go, I'll still be mature, but I'm not going to be overly mature, and grown up. Maybe I should just give myself some time to have fun, and not worry about money, the economy, homework, politics, political issues, and stuff like that. Maybe I should keep them in mind, but shouldn't keep them in my way to prevent me having a life as a kid. So from now on, I'm going to embrace my inner-child, and maybe you'll just recognize the change, maybe you wont, or maybe to recognize the change you need to embrace your inner-child also.
