happy stuff.

let’s see if i can catch up with the last few days. i’ll start off with the title–last tuesday, i needed to do an errand downtown and when i found a parking space on the street, i discovered that it still had 16 minutes left on it–more than what i needed! hooray (small, tiny happy)!

bigger happy:
the workshop i’ve been planning for since last spring is finally over! i believe it went pretty well… i know that everyone loved the display i created.* the workshop was presented to my children’s librarian colleagues and was hints and tips for how to decorate and some program ideas for next summer’s library program theme. as mr. happy stuff noted when he saw me sitting on our living room floor surrounded by picture frames, lamps and a birdcage, “you’re going overboard, aren’t you?” yep. and i had fun doing it. got myself seriously stressed out about it too, but i was still enjoying the creative boost! and now i’m exhausted. wrung out like a limp rag. so i spent yesterday hibernating and catching up with my reading. i got through three books!

*including some library patron teens who happened to walk past the display as we were tearing things down after the workshop. in fact, pretty much all the patrons who walked by the display said, “wow. cool.” or some derivative. which was even more gratifying knowing that they didn’t know i had created it and i was right there to hear them.
