So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.
The last few years have been busy and … challenging:
- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)
- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...
- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?
I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.
So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.
Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Fake Name Nominations - Round 3
Remember, we're taking about a month to poll and then finalize the results of the nominations. This will be a tiered process; with this final week to narrow down the 15 names that I have deemed usable. Next week will be the "name-off."
Round 2 resulted in a 3-way tie, so we'll have to do a drawing to see which of these fake names will be moving into the "name-off."
June Morgan 2 (28%)
Netalia Mayfield 1 (14%)
Grace Andrekneviel 0 (0%)
Jazmon Jones 2 (28%)
Nellie Mayfield 2 (28%)
Thanks to the person(s) who voted 7 times.

Fake Name Nominations -- Round 2
Remember, we're taking about a month to poll and then finalize the results of the nominations. This will be a tiered process; with a few more weeks of narrowing down the 15 names that I have deemed usable, and 1 week of a "name-off."
Round 1 resulted in a tie, so two fake names will be moving into the "name-off."
June Field Maxwell 6 (31%)
Ashford Smalls 2 (10%)
I is Card Cat Alogue's lova 4 (21%)
Juno Maxfielderson 1 (5%)

New Poll - Fake Name Nominations
We're going to take about a month to poll and then finalize the results of the fake name nominations process.* In honor of March Madness, this will be a tiered process; 3 weeks of narrowing down the 15 nominations that I have deemed usable, and 1 week of a "name-off."
This week's names are up on the poll and have been randomly selected by a poor office mate who has no idea why I had her pulling names out of a hat.
GO AND VOTE!
(*Why do I need a fake name again? See the links above, and here.)

Where should the Shushing Librarian Visit next?
Auntie Nettie feels that she must set some guidelines down for testmonkey and his gang of flying monkey IT boys:
DO NOT abuse the SL or put her in compromising positions.
DO NOT break the SL.
DO NOT lose the SL.
DO create interesting adventures for her -- like a trip to the farm perhaps.
DO have her interact in the lair with its inhabitants.
DO post pictures.
DO return her in 2-3 weeks.
Follow these rules -- and don't make Auntie Nettie angry. (Prior threats as posted on other sites still apply.)
POLL RESULTS
Thanks to the person(s) who voted 5 times.
Library 0 (0%)
Testmonkey's Lair 3 (60%)
Amber's Abode 2 (40%)

Poll Results -- What project should Auntie Nettie finish next?
I have to admit that this poll was rigged from the outset. I KNOW I have to finish the commissioned afghan first, but it didn't hurt to ask the Blogosphere. It's like the Magic 8 ball. You have to ask, knowing that the answer is something that you'll already know or will make no real sense. Thanks to the person(s) who voted the 10 times.
What project should Auntie Nettie finish next?
Commissioned Afghan 7 (70%)
Nephew's Afghan 1 (10%)
More Scarves 1 (10%)
Crazy Critters 1 (10%)
