What Might Have Been

April 15, 2013April 7, 2019Leave a comment

On October 15th, 2012, my life changed. This is the story as I originally told it on the one month anniversary to my fellow insomniacs on Twitter (140 character blurbs at a time). “One month ago EXACTLY I was waking up broken and bleeding in a bean field. I couldn’t even scream. Everything was metal-- … Continue reading What Might Have Been

I can FINALLY announce it! To all my Oz and Oz-adjacent locals: January 24th, 2020 is Speakeasy Night in Osawatomie! Dueling pianist Tony Baragona is joining us for a roaring good time at The Loft on 6th from 7pm to 10pm. We'll have a wine/beer bar, specialty cocktails, a wine pull, and charcuterie available. Each ticket holder will receive two drink tokens for the wine/beer bar when they enter the event (and after we check IDs). Tickets are $25 each, or tables of 8 can be reserved for $175. All funds raised will benefit the Osawatomie Public Library's adult programming initiative. See you soon!
Who needs kids of your own when your sister blessed you with three of the most perfect lovable little beans in the whole universe? I love them more than macaroni. . 📷 : @chey_c.o.o.p.s . #auntlife #aunt #nephews #niece #family
It's weird how life can come full circle sometimes. Here I am, two weeks into my new job as a part-time librarian, and I'm handed a stack of new books to cover and shelve. Halfway into the pile, a new copy of an old favorite. The book that officially confirmed me a "Bookworm" at age seven. The book that launched me into a lifetime of reading, writing, and storytelling. . This job isn't what I need; it's part-time, it's low paying, it's slow paced. It's a complete 180° from how I spent the last 15 years of my life in grocery management. But I've smiled more in the last two weeks (and I mean genuinely smiled not "have a nice day" smiled) than I have in the last six months. . I was unemployed and felt utterly alone for three months, and this little gig that barely pays my bills has pulled me from the pit I didn't even notice I was digging. . May the gods continue to bless the storytellers of this world. And may they continue to bless those of us that need them the most. . . . #library #librarian #storytelling #storyteller #books #book #bookworm #newjob #reading #funnylittlemoment #harrypotter #hp #hpatss #jkrowling
