First Post

So I considered starting a blog first because I like to write, and second because the San Antonio Public Library system is encouraging (with the bait of a mysterious raffle prize drawing) employees to complete this "23 Things" learning program. The purpose of the program is to get library personnel used to dealing with some of the new digital information sources. I thought to myself, "I could start a blog, I might get a prize." Later I thought to myself, "do I really want people at work to know what I'm thinking?" The answer came as a resounding "HECK NOOOO!" echoing through my cranium.

So I'm starting a blog, a blog which will not participate in the 23 things program.

Let's see: About me. I'm a 24 year-old engaged soon-to-be graduate student of the library science persuasion. I'm currently working as a library assistant. My only child is a 3 year old miniature schnauzer named Rufus (even though he isn't red). I am living with the parents, and desperate to move out. I embarked on many fabulous vacations in the past year and a half since I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin: I went on a caribbean cruise, a few days at Big Bend National Park, a month backpacking the Appalachian Trail, a month living in a tent in Colorado (there wasn't much hiking involved). I am looking forward to more adventures in the not-so-distant future.

Now I'm spending my time becoming domestic--lusting after the three H's. Husband, Home and (H)offspring. The third H can wait for about 4 to 5 years.

Last night Oliver dubbed me "Lilo" because I get so interested in off-the-wall pursuits. I am really looking forward to my "Bollywood Dance Workout". Oliver asked, "why don't you get a video about regular dancing...so we can dance at our wedding?" Good point, but seriously, isn't Bollywood style sort of regular in India? Food for thought.
