We are halfway through season 4, and are already starting to ration out the episodes. :( I now know why the fans of Longmire campaigned hard to keep it on the air - I love it! Have you read the books? I was thinking I might read them after the series ends. :( Erin @ Quixotic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528275471104279266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525935409718931244.post-5589071161448262932016-11-28T06:04:15.569-08:002016-11-28T06:04:15.569-08:00It really is!

He left our house at 5 am (still ungodly early) and was 8th in line. Maybe with some stores opening earlier or even Thanksgiving, it has cut down on people camping out? I was positive he would get there, see people had been camping out, and just come home.Erin @ Quixotic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528275471104279266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525935409718931244.post-7037264228237415872016-11-28T06:01:40.954-08:002016-11-28T06:01:40.954-08:00Good to know!!!

It was kind of nice to be lazy and lounging all day! I loved the new GG! I had to adjust to that too, but once I did, I didn't want it to end. The owl prowl is pretty cool! Some years we see them, sometimes we don't but its always fun.

Nooooooo! I can't believe the new season will be the last. :(<br /><br />I ran the school library as a paraprofessional when I was working. I loved that job!!!! Our district decided they didn't need librarians anymore, if they could pay paras less to do the same job, minus the teaching. It's a shame that money talks like that, even in schools, but I did a really good job when I worked there if I do say so myself! :) I loved that job though, and the library, and the kids, so that made it easy. Right now I am taking classes more for pleasure, although it started with me getting a second Bachelors degree, this time in Journalism. I have sort of gotten off track, and am taking classes for fun!! I need to focus, but I think I will just get a certificate in paralegal studies, which is what I am doing now. I work a big time 8 hours a week at my cousin's law firm. He is an attorney who has his own practice, and I work two days a week for four hours right now, while Wyatt is still little. I love it!Erin @ Quixotic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528275471104279266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525935409718931244.post-18565690336382474032016-11-28T05:54:30.112-08:002016-11-28T05:54:30.112-08:00My classes and readings are very topical and seaso...My classes and readings are very topical and seasonal right now! It just worked out that way - I am taking Anthropology of Food, and Anthropology of Food and Culutue, which explores how and why people eat food, rather than actual food. Like Proust's Madelines. :)<br /><br />The owl prowl was really cool! If you know what kind of owl you have nearby, this is a good time to try to draw it in to see it. What they interpreters do for these prowls is go out when the owls are calling, and they play a recording of the same type of owl calling, then turn it off and wait. They do this off and on. You have to listen for their calls and watch for them to fly in, which is harder than it seems! Owls have soundless flight so you won't hear them fly in. It's kind of neat, and if you have one nearby, it seems like it would be possible to do yourself!Erin @ Quixotic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528275471104279266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525935409718931244.post-56079222041028805642016-11-28T05:15:36.239-08:002016-11-28T05:15:36.239-08:00Your Thanksgiving sounds great, even if it wasn...Your Thanksgiving sounds great, even if it wasn't what you're used to... the Owl Prowl sounds especially cool!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525935409718931244.post-83996286916181287472016-11-27T23:52:50.130-08:002016-11-27T23:52:50.130-08:00Happy belated thanksgiving!

I would love an owl prowl, never heard of one, but I guess you have to live in the correct region for it. I love Longmire too but have sadly watched all the available seasons, so waiting for more eventually. <br /><br />What are you going to school for, work or pleasure? You're a school librarian, correct? Or am I thinking of another blogger? :) Have a great week ahead.

Think we have one around here, have heard it hooting a few times, but haven't seen it. <br /><br />Both of those books look good, and kinda timely right now. Hope you have a great week. and congrats on the TV! Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515345156687765162noreply@blogger.com
