1. Clarification - Ten Good and Bad Things

When I started this blog - back in the Cretaceous period - I was not the only contributor.  I was also clueless as to how one goes about announcing that this post or that were written by someone else.  Blog posts that mention textbooks, school, Oriental Medicine - all with authority - were written by some of my very good friends.

This was in the percolating stage of blogdom before a purpose and direction were more fully formed.  Oh wait, that's still now. 

I just feel the need to let the wider readership know that a lot of the posts herein during year one and two are not mine.  So don't be confused.  I was not working in a library, going to school, practicing Oriental Medicine in three different states all at the same time.  I am awesome, truly, but not....spoiler alert...I am not a superhero.  Sigh.



Read Ann M. Martin's latest yesterday.  Ten Good and Bad Things about My Life (So Far).  I liked it.  So in honor of that book here is my list of 10 good and bad things about my life today.

1.  It is pouring down rain.                 Good                   &                     Bad
2.  I am still in my pjs.                        Good
3.  It is after 12 noon.                          Good!                                    But also bad
4.  My office is a mess                                                                           Bad.
5.  I need  to exercise.                            ???                                            !!!
6.  I am not a superhero.                      Thank goodness!  No pressure.
7.  Some people do not know #6.  ;)                                                  they are very demanding.
8.  I do not practice Oriental Medicine                 Probably good!
9.  I do not have a pet.                          Good - no work                          Bad - pets are sweet!
10. I have to go to the drs. with Dad           Good, someone has to.        Bad, I want a healthy Dad

Tomorrow, I will review Ten Good and Bad Things About my Life (So Far).    We've come a long way since The Babysitters' Club (a fun series indeed!)

2. Reading the World X This Weekend

Again, I really need to get better at blogging about my exciting events earlier, but better before than after, right?

Reading the World
, my favorite conference, is this weekend, Feb. 15-16. It is the only children's literature conference focusing solely on multicultural literature that I know of, and it is an amazing event. This year, keynote speakers include Ashley Bryan, Lawrence Yep, Jack Zipes, Naomi Shihab Nye, Sarah Ellis, Peter Sis, and Doris Orgel. And that's just the keynotes! The two days are also packed with sessions given by authors, illustrators and educators-- an amazing lineup.

There will be two booksellers there this year: ourselves and Hicklebee's. I think we're going to have our hands full, but I'm looking forward to being busy this weekend.

Maybe I'll see you there!
