the library

I love to google images. I find the tags people use fascinating. Tonight I googled "Librarian". The images that it brought up were hysterical. The other amazing things that I found are that the first two "related searches" were "naughty librarian" and "hot librarian". I am sure I do not want to know what this says about American society and culture. Another of these "related searches" was "librarian costume" - what could this be I asked myself. So I followed the link and like Alice, I landed- bemused and befuddled by what I found. In this case I really do think pictures are worth 1000 words.

This "librarian" costume is sold by Target. The book skirt is KEY!



This interesting outfit is sold by Amazon and is listed as "Sexy Librarian Overtime Costume". I really am at a loss given the title. She doesn't even have books. The tie is also baffling.




The pièce de résistance is this outfit, billed simply as "Sexy librarian" though they appear to be confused about what a librarian does. Though perhaps I should be grateful that at least SHE has books. I also wonder why this particular "sexy librarian" also looks like a catholic school girl who is wearing her baby sister's uniform.

Who knows, maybe I'm the one who is confused about my chosen profession.

Back to catalog my own stupidity

Well - I never did write like I said I would - but then I never do. I am more of an idea gal. Also I think I have ADD.

I have been having some minor health issues of recent, the latest being a sort of nighttime insomnia. I use the term "nighttime insomnia" - though it seems redundant - because from 12pm to 6pm I feel like I could sleep amazingly, yet I'm at work so this is unfortunate. Now, however, when it is 11.22pm I feel no compulsion to sleep and when I attempt to sleep I merely doze on and off all night which culminates in the vicious cycle of the 12 to 6 blues - which is really a fog that fills my brain while I should be teaching amazing things to children in grades 1 - 5. So I thought I would use this extra time in my day to make a blog comeback.

So here it goes (the comeback I mean). Tonight, for the second time in about 2 weeks, I have locked my keys in my car. The first time I was outside of my apartment building, tonight I was at a very sketchy gas station trying to take advantage of the $.05 off Thursday discount. I blame both of these events on the afore mentioned ADD. How does one go for almost 20 years without locking their keys in the car only to do it twice in such a short time span? One would assume you would be more aware of this behavior yet the opposite appears to be true. I have a plan (for security purposes I won't detail it here) I will put into action tomorrow. Wish me luck.
