Week in Review

To begin with, thanks for all the happy thoughts and well-wishes; the hubby is starting to feel better. He is still working with the docs to figure out what his bizarre ailment is, however. It could be something as freakish as Job's Syndrome or Cat-Scratch Fever to just a plain old staph infection that he can't shake. Whatever this is, it is strange. But he doesn't have a fever or anything like that any more. Which was good this week, because we had company!

My friend Ruth (Rootie Toot, as some friends affectionately call her) and her bud Jenni came up for their annual visit this week. And it has been a busy one! (Hence the lack of posts...) We had a really nice visit. The girls stayed here and also with their artist friend Fletch, who lives in the city, so they were able to do lots of fun stuff. Ruth and Jenni even stood in line for an hour so they could score us some tickets to The Producers (not the movie, the Broadway show) which was hilariously funny. Thanks guys, that was super fun! The above picture is Ruth in Texas on one of her many travel adventures... We also worked on starting a blog for Ruth this visit. You can see the start of it at Trip with Ruth. Maybe she might have some pictures posted of her trip soon here.

And as far as the job front goes, so far so good. There are some really cool kids that frequent the library that I have immediately bonded with, which is always a good thing. One girl, in particular, will probably be one of my pets! She is really a cool chick, super helpful and creative. I just finished doing a display of Chinese New Year books (with this cute bulletin board, if I do say so myself...) and since my little buddy is taking Chinese in HS, she learned how to do some calligraphy signs for me! And they look great. I am pleased as punch. Tune in tomorrow for a lesson on Chinese New Year traditions, "same Bat Channel..."
