IYRKM, you would know that I am really into the Harry Potter books and films, and I'm a huge Beatles fan (but I loved the Monkees first
 ).

IYRKM, you would know that I'm the only female in both sides in my family to be Bat Mitzvah'd.

IYRKM.......You'd know that I love to play Nintendo DS. The PS2 is always fun to play with the kids,but the DS can't be beat for solo.

I'm very shy, I hardly speak to anyone. I hardly socialize with people. Nora and I are only 2 hours away from one another!

Well you two aren't alone! Most of my life I have been considered shy and quiet. It's nice to have the internet to meet people. And there is nothing
wrong with it either- we can't all be extroverted like Micky, right?

I sat here reading these and I thought who in the heck is IYRKM. LOL!
Well, if you really knew me, you would know that I, too, am extremely shy. I do not like new situations and I get physically sick if I have to go to new places and meet new people. 
I also have an intense fear of heights. Nothing wrong with meeting people online Mare. My internet life is much more exciting than my personal life. And I wouldn't have it any other way. I
love all my online friends. *HUGS* to you all!

I have trouble with some of the "alphabet soup" acronyms that get thrown about so much online too, and I've learned not to be afraid to ask if I can't figure something out.
I may have posted this here once already, but if you really knew me, you'd know that my favorite books to read are children's books. I mostly read middle to upper grades fiction (novels geared towards 9-14-year-olds), but I also love picture books, I-Can-Read books, fiction for younger readers (1st - 3rd grade level), non-fiction, folktales and poetry geared towards young readers, etc. When I was working as a children's librarian for a public library, people assumed that I read those books for professional reasons -- and I did to some extent, but the truth is that that's putting the cart before the horse! I have always enjoyed reading children's books (ever since I was a child myself) and just never stopped, and that is one of the reasons why
I became a children's librarian in the first place! And even though it's been 14 years since I last was employed as a professional librarian, I
still love reading children's literature!

I might read them myself just for fun. It must have been a rewarding job being a children's librarian. It sounds like fun. |

IYRKM...
you'd know that I think "The Beverly Hillbillies" is absolutely hilarious and the perfect "hot summer weather" show, outside of the Monkees, of course. ...you'd know that I really like libraries and research. So much so that I made my daughter go to the library for a book on toucans for a report that she's doing, rather than go online.    |

I used to read a couple of chapters at night of R.L. Stein's Goosebumps to my son when he was growing up. That was our special time before I put him to
bed. He's a great writer! Even I enjoyed reading his books and couldn't wait to turn the page to find out the rest of the story.

Nope, that's a toucan. Toucan Sam, to be precise. And yes, I meant Froot Loops. That's how the cereal is spelled, believe it or not.

I think it's so funny how the subject is changing from one thing to another around here! And Froot Loops are good!
BTW, Shane I just finally finished reading Duma Key today and believe it or not I cried near the end for the loss of a main character. I can't say any names in case I spoil it for others. I get so involved with the characters that they become real to me. That is what I love about Stephen King. My daughter says he describes things too much and for too long in the beginning of a book but I disagree! It was a good book! Mare |

Many thanks to Dad for the pictures and Lizzy for creating the page and hosting it.
May this all be over as quickly, and with as little loss of life, as possible.
