I'm One of Them :-)

This afternoon while innocently watching the Dilly Bar eating contest, I unintentionally overheard the conversation of the three people standing next to me:

Guy: "So the man that owns Dairy Queen has like 20 Kids."
Other Guy: "Really?"
Lady: "No, that's the family on TV."
Other Guy: "There has to be at least 15 of them then."

Me: "It's 9." all turn to stare at me "He has 9 kids."

Guy: "Oh yeeeaaah! I knew that."
Lady: stares at me for a moment "OMG, aren't you one of them??"

Me: smiles

awkward silence

they walk away

"Anything real has flaws."

"He remembered hearing once that it was hard for people to ever know what they really looked like. Reflections in mirrors weren't accurate, because when you stare at yourself in a mirror you subconsciously composed your face in a way that wasn't your natural expression. He wondered if it was that way with strangers too, maybe you only looked like your true self with people you loved. And maybe that was a face you yourself hardly ever get to see."

~Elise Broach

"That Looks Like Something Lydia's Family Would Do." "Umm... that IS Lydia's Family."

The quote in the title was said by two co-workers of mine who just happened to be passing by a local park on Labor Day afternoon and noticed a group of people oddly posing like famous paintings, eating, laughing, talking and in general, just having a ton of fun.



In other words:

BEST. LABOR DAY. EVER.

Enjoy!

Perks of the Job, August 31st, 2010

Gleefully introducing patrons to my favorite costumes dramas when the ask for recommendations. I like to think I'm helping America become more classically cultured, if they tend to think Jane Austen is an actress who looks like Anne Hathaway or not.

When a bird somehow manages to deposit it's *ahem* business on my shirt between the car and the door (NOOOOOO!!!) My official "Lydia S. Platteville Public Library Technician 1" name tag thankfully covers the spot nicely saving my from a potentially embarrassing workplace wardrobe malfunction.

When people actually answer the phone when I call them (I've heard every single answering machine message in town. No joke.) they assume that I'm a recording, and hang up in the middle of my well rehearsed speech. Is my voice really that non-descript?

Noticing that Amish women tend to secretly read trashy romance paperbacks.
Actually I find that rather disturbing...

Me stupidly assuming that the bell sounds and pounding I was hearing were coming from the rather loud construction site next door, not (as it turned out to be) a young and by now hysterical child stuck in the library elevator.

I am constantly surprised by the ironic human-ness of humanity.

Apparently I Like To Randomly Point at Signs....

Next to home sweet home, my favorite place in the world just happens to be:



Actually it's Bellwood and the surrounding country side including the completely adorable town of David City (From East to West there's only one...)


This week was flurry of all my favorite things, like...

Books!

Shopping (with amazing sales!)

Fun Food,
(I don't mean to be disloyal or anything, but I happen to ADORE Arby's *hides*)

Movies,
Note: I give Letters to Juliet two thumbs up, Erica and I loved it!

and my absolutely wonderful family and friends :-)
I love my peeps!!
