It's Like I Never Left

Nerds, you know it's going to be a tough week when it's 9 a.m. on Monday and you're already looking forward to a nap. Can a person love their bed too much? Mayhap it's the chilly morning air that makes me pull at all the blankets until they're cocooned around me, or it could also be that C gets to sleep two more hours than I do and in my sleepy jealousy I steal all the warm bits of the covers; in any case I very much wanted to stay in bed when my alarm went off at 5:30.

A few random bits and pieces on this gray Monday morn:

• I am now on the NaBloPoMo website, hooray! If you'd like to check out some of the other participants, here is the infamous blog Randomizer. I have to stop myself from clicking that link about 70 times a day out of sheer curiosity at who else would join in this folly.
• I won two tickets to the Ok! Go concert at the Avalon next week. They were so fun when I saw them last summer, I'm v. excited to get to see a whole show. Do you think they'll bring their treadmills?
• An anonymous student left this note taped to my desk this morning: "Here's where you go when you're filled with doom, the library will lift all your gloom". (?!?!?!)
• My agenda for this week includes beginning my Christmas shopping. I refuse (refuse, you hear me?) to spend another month of December sweating in a mall somewhere, ready to push old ladies, mothers wielding strollers, people in wheelchairs, and other slow-ass people out of my way with my elbows. The very idea of mall Christmas shopping is making me feel anxious and sick. This year, online is where it's at.

Time for me to refuel. My co-worker attempted to make coffee this morning and the water was mud brown before she even brewed it. Looks like it'll be a double Starbucks day for this little ol' librarian.
