I feel weird wearing red or pink on Valentine's day- I think maybe I overdid it as a kid.  And while this outfit would have worked well with a red cardigan, the blue was a nice change.  It was a pretty outfit for a pretty awesome day.  Let me count the ways: taught an awesome library instruction class today (seriously the students were shouting out search terms; i love the pre-lunch crowd), enjoyed a delicious taco potluck at work today (and had to waddle home, seriously), finished checking the records of the old travel books (now we just have to mark them for our storage facility!), slashed through some giant puddles in my red rain boots (coat open!), had a fun cataloging class (we got to classify turtles and wine. jealous?), and am now feeling sick from V-day chocolate.  My goal is to read a small article for class tomorrow before bed.  However, I think I can also squeeze in a love flick (or, more likely, a movie I love!).  Perhaps Manhattan Murder Mystery?

Also, while riding home on the bus, stuffed with delicious Mexican fare, this song came on my Ipod.  It is so true today, and should be true everyday:

I had a lovely weekend.  Friday I made veggie lasagna for visiting friends:

Vegetarian Lasagna (followed the recipe exactly, except I added a bag of chopped broccoli and one chopped carrot in place of the mushrooms).  It is delicious- I highly recommend it.  I was going to take pictures because lasagna is a beautiful thing, but I ended up taking a too long after work nap and barely had enough time to prepare and cook the lasagna before my friends arrived. Opps!

Saturday included lots and lots of struggling with MARC 21 to get my weekly cataloging record done.  It's not horrible, but it takes a lot of flipping pages back and forth looking for the right codes.  My parents also visited and took me out to dinner at....a local Italian place!  I am now stuffed full of pasta and I couldn't be happier.

Now, I am finishing up some reading while listening to Midlake and also preparing to go into work at 1.  Midlake and a pot of coffee made it easy to power through my reading today (which needed to happen since I have work and then a Superbowl party later). It was so good, I wanted to share my favorite tune:
