Oh my. Blogger has changed things while I've been away. Hopefully I can catch up!
Found this and laughed so hard I just had to share. One of my (future) professors at Sam keeps a really good blog (YA literature), and she had hers posted. Go find your aliases-- this was quite funny!
I'm still knitting (a little faster now!) I'm currently working on a faux-Fair Isle baby sweater for my niece, who shall be joining us in late May or early June. I've got Fiber Artist felted slippers on the needles (made a pair for my lovely MIL for Christmas, who commissioned a pair for her sweet neighbor), "Chantal" (another French Girl pattern!) just started, and a scarf from Scarf Style started for my Aunt Linda (it's made from "Touch Me" yarn-- the absolute softest, best behaved chenille!, with a cable up the middle. Kind of a "take a break" project as it's fairly repetitive. Only had the yarn waiting for a year now-- at least it's guaranteed to be cold in Chicago next year!)
I've also started the Master of Library Science program at Sam Houston State University. They have a satellite program here, so I'm able to attend classes less than 10 minutes from home, and do most of my classwork online! Now that my baby is in Kindergarten, I have a little freedom to return to teaching-- but in a different form, this time. I DO beg Sheryl and Amy for more knitting classes to teach, since it's a wonderful study break. (YOU buy the world a Coke and teach them how to sing, and I'll teach 'em all to knit. Share the love however you can!) I'm taking two classes-- an "Organization of Collections" class, which is eating my lunch (you know, those Dewey numbers don't come already-printed. Who would've thought?! And the magic of the online library catalog search? Somebody has to input that "magic" and do it RIGHT for it to work. Yep.) and a lovely "Collection Development" course, which is kind of fun. Policy development now, but censorship is on the horizon! (Check out the Newberry Award winner for this year. I haven't read it yet-- it's on my bedside table, though. You'd think the ALA might want to avoid controversy like this, with all the wonderful children's lit that's available. It has a pretty good premise, though, with lots of potential-- I'll let you know!)
O.k., Kristine Bella Vista is going to go eat dinner with her husband, maybe watch a movie. I'll be back later with pictures! (of the knitting. JUST the knitting.)
