It's been years since I've participated in a 12 of 12, but I felt nostalgic today and I remembered my camera. However, the day wasn't terribly eventful.
If you don't know what a 12 of 12 is, I suggest you visit Chad Darnell's blog. He started this concept of taking 12 pictures to document the day on the 12th day of the month. 12 of 12!
So, January's 12 of 12:
I'd been up for about thirty minutes prior to taking this photo, but this was when I realized that if I didn't get a move on, I would be late for work!
When I got in my car and saw the temperature, I knew why I didn't want to get out of bed this morning. Brr!!
I work as a Children's/Youth Services Librarian for a library system. I do story times, school visits, and teen activities each day at a different library in the county during the week. Today, I was at the library where my office is, so only my blue GO bag was required. This week's story time theme is snow and snowmen, which worked nicely with the snow we got on Sunday and Monday.
Wednesdays at 9am finds me at one of the local head starts for a 20-25 minute story time. Just grabbing my name badge before getting out of my car.
Lunch! I used to despise Wendy's (square burgers are an abomination!), but I'm beginning to come around.
The library where my office is located was open for the last time today, thus the nostalgic feeling. We're moving to a wonderful new building over the next few weeks. However, as I'm only at this library on Wednesday, I had to pack today. I share this office with the library branch director and this is only one side of it. There's still one big box or two that is packed up that you can't see.
After work, I drove to my sister's house so that I could reunite her with her car, which she left at her in-law's house during the Sunday snow. I think I need a new car and have been paying close attention to the cars I see the highway.
I got to play with and read to my niece while at my sister's. A rare moment to find Ari silent and still.
Stopped at Walgreens after dropping my sister off at her car.
Home sweet home!
I logged into one of the online classes I'm taking this semester. Technically, classes don't start until next week, but this professor opened the class early and posted an assignment. And because I can't control myself, I completed the assignment when I should have been enjoying my semester break. Oh, well! Last semester, hopefully. Should graduate with an MLIS in May.
It's Wednesday. And Wednesdays always end with Vlogbrothers, John and Hank. Mondays and Fridays also end with John and Hank.
And that's my 12 of 12!

We're almost neighbors! I live just over an hour away in Broken Arrow, OK, and our weather was just about the same as yours yesterday....COLD. How wonderful that you're getting a new library and new work space. I hope you show pictures of the library next 12. See you next month (maybe with pictures of a new car???).
Sunny,
Probably no new car next month as I don't know when I'd have time to shop for one! But I do hope to remember and participate next month.
I hope you were able to stay warm today!

Welcome back to the 12-of-12! At first I thought you might be in New York since our temps were about the same last week... then I read Sunny's post.
Thanks for sharing your day.
P.S. LOVE your blog title. :)
13*F?? Holy cow, that's awful. I guess I should stop complaining about the 30 degree weather in San Francisco...? :-)
