Persnickety Hooch and I were stuck at a local conference for librarians the last few days and were more or less bored to tears. Here’s some photographic evidence of our journey through library land.
Me on day one during the keynote address by someone who talked about THE FUTURE OF LIBRARIES. By the end of the conference I’d made this phrase into a drinking game, because I heard it so often.
And I have no idea what my hair is doing in this picture. No. Idea.
PH and I on day two in the crack o’dawn morning. Note the bags under our eyes as we fake enthusiasm. We’re women, so faking it is something we have down pat.
Okay, I didn’t say we were convincing at faking it.
Me doing something crazy and cracking PH up. Hey, I hadda do something. By the end of the conference, I was ready to gouge my own eyeballs out just to ease the monotony.
Me trying to end it all by strangling myself with my conference name badge.
When that failed, PH was willing to lend a helping hand.

Ha ha! Your future of libraries phrase cracked me up. Pretty sad you had to turn it into a drinking game – but at least you made it fun vs. killing yourself. ;) Great pics.

Thanks, Karen. After the drinking began, the fun really started.

I swear, if I hear about Second Life one more time, I’m going to take hostages.
On a related note, doesn’t the term “second life” refer to life post-menopause. *Crossing my fingers*

Oh, gawd. Don’t even go there. Second life is evil…as is menopause.

Menopause is even more evil when you’re near to it. Whippersnapper!
Um, it concerns me that Persnickity Hooch was so willing to help you strangle yourself. Assisted suicide is legal in Utah?

Shhhh…we don’t speak of that.
