The Sunday Dress
Well, I do think that we sure got a lot of stitchin’ done at our last Tumbling Thimbleweeds meetin’. It was real productive. Those baby quilts turned out real precious.
They certainly did. Why I don’t ever remember a more lovely set of baby blankets. It’ll be real nice when we give them out after the Sunday Services.

I have decided to start posting some of my poetry and fiction that I have been writing (instead of writing in my blog). So that will be forthcoming. Otherwise I am almost at a year in my new job as Instruction/Circulation/Reserves Librarian at ECU. It has been a whirlwind of trials and adventures. I have reallySue D.

(Not that anything happened to him, I just moved away.)

The Easter bunny put some kid's teeth under my pillow and $5 is missing from my wallet. I hung my jack-o-lantern over the fireplace while I cut out construction paper hearts. I have found that buying the old dried out trees are easier to clean up at the end of the season, especially when I keep with the old tradition of putting candles instead of lights on Sue D.

I can hardly believe I have made it! I have filled out tons of applications for professional jobs, but have not really heard back from any of them. (That's a good thing right?

(That's even when I eat suspended from the ceiling with my food below me.) I am a sort of food magnet.

Valentine's day is great! You get/give cheesy teddy bears, chocolates in fluffy boxes, and cards with syrupy sentiments. Children would rank this holiday with (secular) Easter and Halloween except that they have to give as much as they get. For single people though, one of the best Sue D.

I can hardly believe it. I sometimes still feel like I am waiting to graduate from high school. Perhaps it is just that I have been in and out of school for so long. It was not very exciting since I had to go to class from 6:30-9:00 and besides my car battery died and so I am buss-passing my way around town. Not that I had anything exciting planned.

I have so much to do and each little task seems to take more time than I expected. Maybe I am still in Christmas break mode. I enjoyed a very relaxing fun time with my brother Valden and his family over Christmas. It was really nice to spend some time with them.

This year has gone by so fast! I know everyone always says stuff like that but it's true. I don't seem to have much of a holiday spirit this year. My usual Christmas knick-knacks are still in the closet. I have been playing Christmas music, but this year it is not the same.

I survived another semester! I am taking a class over winter break and then (if all goes well) I have one more semester before I graduate! It is actually in sight! I need to start filling out job applications, which is how I will spend my Christmas break, besides homework. I am going to fill out applications from everywhere, to cover my bases, but I would love to start at a public or Sue D.

That is something I am definitely grateful for, the ability to actually know how to blog and the many other technologies I have learned to use. I want to use this blog as a way to record different things, things that are a reflection of me. ThoughtsSue D. Nymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02509118431541236119noreply@blogger.com0
