what's new!?

I know, its been weeks! I've been crazed lately. I am starting a new job next week, in a new library, new library system, and am totally "stoked" (if I can steal a word from Spicoli)!

I've been shopping lately,and having such a strange time of it. All the spring clothes are out, but none of it looks very professional -- its all pinks and pastels, flowery and flowy -- real pros can't wear that stuff, can they? And what does a 30 something librarian wear these days, anyway? I'm not in a business environment that warrants wearing a suit, I'm not young enough to pull off the trendy things, I'm not old enough to pull off the matronly hag look... What's a girl to do? I seem somewhere to have lost my sense of style! I now look for things like - does it come with elastic somewhere in waistband? -- does the color match well with my greys? -- can I look taller in this, and not like an ottoman? -- is this in anyway FUN!? I like fun clothes, but alas, they are nowhere to be found :) I got 3 days left to pull it all together!
