More changes are afoot. I've started a new job in a new town--and I am officially a Librarian! I'm the new reference librarian at a small yet historic junior college in a town that was once the capital of Georgia. I know I've pretty much spelled it out but it's fun imagining that I've stumped my readers (both of them). I get to teach a library orientation class, hopefully go to the classrooms to talk about our resources when research assignments are approaching their due date, weed and update the reference collection, attend conferences, travel to our distance learning centers, and generally be challenged each day and put my experience and master's courses skills to good use.
I'm super excited about this job and living in a (another) new town. I've rented an old 1837 farm house that has been renovated (not exactly updated but some modern conveniences have been made--indoor plumbing. That's it). It has a great view and lots of character. This past weekend was spent cleaning and attempting to hang my pictures. What a chore! My arms hurt in odd places and I'm still not 100% satisfied with the placement of the pictures in my dining room. Insects are also an issue right now. Professionals have visited the premises but have not defeated the overall grossness of spiders. I'm sure they are on their last legs (pun intended!) though and I'll be more relaxed at night once this happens.
In other news, I got to visit with my darling friend Frances and her precocious daughters (my nieces) a few weeks ago (will post photos soon). I finished Fearless Fourteen (so, so funny) and Undead and Unworthy and a few other teen books. Right now I'm listening to Northanger Abbey and reading another teen book Mira, Mirror (which is rather strange, I may not finish this one). I also saw Baby Mama when Frances was in town and finally watched the latest Rambo. It was surprisingly good and one of Stallone's better films (he only had about 10 lines). That's all the new news about me for now--again, I'll post some pictures soon.

Does this mean you live near me now? If so, we really need to get together. And congrats on becoming a full-fledged librarian! :)
