It's My Life

hanging out at MILE 2009

I'm at this lovely resort. I'm very impressed with this location...just as many common areas as when I ran this workshop but with fireplaces and a lot more knotty pine. It's pretty here on the lake, too. I can hear some of the participants still talking down below but the people organizing/managing it are up here winding down. There are twin beds but I have a room of my own. We've been playing games, including Lunch Money, and talking. Got to get to bed soon but Angie is talking about her London tours - I'm enjoying it.

We were talking about this earlier. This is my fav of the Improve Anywhere

So...we just talked so much that Rachel had to close the door so she could sleep. We are so bad with the talking.

Making SURE that twitter updating is off...

no message here.

Heading off to conference in a few

I am very jazzed and hyped up for my goalsetting, mindmapping presention to the MN library association's MILE 2009, held at the Bug-Bee Hive Resort.  I leave here in a few minutes.

I'll be posting from the road! Turning off the Twitter updater so I feel more confident about posting pics and the like.

Nordskogen practice

Last night was a woot! Drove Iggy and Vlad to practice, Vlad being a fighter from Nordskogen down here working with his team. He wanted to get to practice - and what a good practice it was! I didn't fight. I talked and watched. Sir Tristan has a different philosophy of small group fighting, some expectations that were useful to see in play. I do wonder how well the fighters demonstrated/used his expectations. I will have to talk to people about it, I suppose. Anyway, a bit owly-eyed yet.

For the joy of it

Still hurts to sneeze

but soooo satisfying.  I am not twittering this one. I am kinda feeling like the twittering and facebooking is taking too much of my attention but meh. It's ok. I am aware of it, I know it is getting in the way of the work at home here.

RT @srharris19 Librarians and booksellers: Be included in Twitter Wit ... by sending in your best tweet: http://tinyurl.com/dznmeh

I just posted this to the SELCO Librarian and since the wording is done, I'm just retweeting, sorta, instead of writing up a new post.

Jonya Pacey, Help Desk Manager

I follow a number of people in twitter, one of them being user srharris19, a collections librarian from the University of New Mexico, mostly because I like his tweets and his humor. So today he passes on a really fun opportunity, to be part of a new book from IT Books, an imprint of Harper Collins Publishers. They are looking for twitter wit from people who love books, who work around books, and who enjoy the humor in their daily lives. For more information about this opportunity, go see Steven Harris's original twitter and follow the link to a PDF from IT Books. Or if you follow me, it will be a twitter post from me in a few minutes. My twitter username is Jonya.

Quick update

Van is home with good stories and was asleep before I left for work today. Alice-Kitty was being all aloof until he headed for bed and she was then swoosh upstairs to make sure he stayed warm. He warned me the laundry bag might be full of ticks and to watch it for a few days - he was going to open the bag and immediately put stuff in the wash, but who knows about them getting into the bag's seams?

I am working on my posture since I've been slumping for a week+ and my rib is aching. Still going to do it if I can. I hope to get home for a good walk this evening.

I just had lunch with Becky and Rachel at Dunn Brothers, quiche and soup and coffee. Catching up on all her girl scout tasks and Special Olympic projects. She made us laugh when she asked how MILE was going and I looked startled. Rachel had a twitter about it earlier today. That was fun; we will revisit.

Van is home, safe

I'm thinking about going back to bed, though, get this last hour of sleep.

Stopped by fighter practice today...

No, I'm NOT fighting.
