Urban Poly Princess

I had a hard time leaving from work yesterday. There's just so much to be done and not enough time to do it all. I told my boss I planned to go to ULA even if he didn't pay for it. He said to send him the information and he'd see what he could do. I did and hadn't heard from him so I planned to pay for it but yesterday he emailed me and told me he'd pay for an institutional membership plus my conference fee. It is held in Layton this year which is awesome and rare. I am so stocked. It would've cost me about $240.00 and I was trying to tell him I should be paid for attending the conference. Now I get both without costing me any money.

I am ordering a hundred different books for the library. Our adult book contract ended in September so the sales guy gave each AF library 100 points to spend by tomorrow. They FINALLY as in yesterday got me into the system so I can order this stuff. I am up to 80 but I'm going crazy. It'll be done before tomorrow's deadline which is great although this hurry up and spend before you can't attitude is a little stressful. I know it seems silly to complain about having to spend money BUUUT I am spending a lot of hours doing this on a day I should be completing my Star Wars marathon.

My ward has fast Sunday next week but I need a little extra help right now with some things in my life so I'm fasting now.

I will be so excited to get my library technician. I am going to assign he or her all the stuff I don't want to do like safety, facility stuff, DEFINITELY our cash box and life of the fund folder. I still need to do the stuff like the annoying accounting things that include purchasing supplies, and a billion other things. Maybe I should try to get the slide presenter projector and/or ask Larry what they use in their classes. Our community meeting room would benefit from having something like that. With the conference table we're getting it's going to be very nice.

It is going to be a place we can hold meetings in that is attractive, comfortable and is just a good space. Once I get the model planes and decorate the children's and teen rooms the way I want people will be drawn here. I can't wait to get it all under control. I am so glad Luis agreed to do the Wheels of Wonder event I had forgotten about. The Children's Center and the Youth Center are jointly putting on this event they hold yearly. They asked us to participate and I said yes. I don't want to lose this chance to gain good publicity for the library.

Conference was amazing and just what I REALLY needed. I just watched it with my mother on her television. My favorite talk by far was Elder Bednar. He examined the sacrament and talked about how it is the spirit that refines, that cleanses and sanctifies us. It is by taking the sacrament and renewing our covenants with the sacrament ordinance that we can then be blessed with the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost. This constant cleansing is required if we are to retain a constant remission of our sins.

He explained it so clearly and in such detail. We are so blessed. I am so blessed. I leave to San Antonio Sunday morning. I am going to end up missing Puanani's farewell.
