P.S.
You've all just been punk'd! I didn't actually win. It was a tie. Either that or someone messed with the voting. So there, I admit it, since I'm sure someone messed with voting, Michael, your cookies were better. Congratulations. =)
Revelations/Morals/Lets learn something!
As I was taking a long walk during my dinner break, I was pondering what I would write in a post once I got back. Surely I would talk about the competition Michael and I had. However, when I had left, the results had been different.
When I went on my walk, I had been losing, BIG TIME. I had basically given, no thrown, no chucked, no HEAVED, in the towel because there was no chance I could possibly catch up. However, I can't seem to figure out how this is possible aside from one of those epic underdog stories in those movies that, although they say were inspired by a true story or based off a true story, really can't possibly be anything but false. BUT! It ended in a big win for Madison Blake! Yes Michael, I won! The Bake-Off: Round 2: Funfetti cookies ended with a win for me! SO TAKE THAT! You owe me Yo-cream.
I'm sorry you had to find out this way. I know it may be heartbreaking for you.
But back to what I was originally talking about, as I was walking around the UP neighborhood, I had accepted the fact that I had already lost, even thought the competition had yet to be completed. Lo and behold to find out that the underdog prevails! I guess the moral of the story is, don't give up. Life isn't for certain and who knows, Santa might throw an extra piece of chocolate in your stalking.
SPEAKING of Santa, as I was walking around, a Kris Kringle figure passed me on his old fashioned bike. He was wearing shorts, a top hat, and was carrying a 24 bottled case of diet coke on the back of the bike. I guess he is watching his weight. Or as Tarra put it,"Slimming it down in the summer and putting it all back in the winter." Good word choice Tarra. I always knew your communications degree would come in handy. =D
In all honesty though, a Thursday at the library is about as intriguing as watching an apple core rot. Most people are gone because there is no class tomorrow, so therefore, I Facebook. Yes, that is how I spend my valuable time that could be spent productively is on one of the biggest social networking sites of our generation doing absolutely nothing. And to top it off, Taio Cruz is stuck in my head. Lovely.
I hope everyone is having a glorious summer, a swell summer, a warm summer, because it is definitely not warm in Portland.
Signing off in...Madison's Corner!
Yep, still sounds cheesy. But its here to stay. =D
P.S.! And this is big. As I went to go type the word underdog earlier in this blog post, I look up, and this guy is walking out of the library, with the word UNDERDOG plastered on his shirt. I could have died on the spot, but that would have meant the library would have gone unsupervised, and we can't have that, now can we?

Its me!
Hey all! Its Madison!
I know, I know, Tarra posted a blog saying I would be updating more this summer, but I have been so busy with work and play, I haven't been as diligent as I should be. But I'm here now! Why today, you ask? What is so special about today?
Well....
Today I am the supervisor for today! And I am large and in charge! And to start the day off, Michael-Senior circulation worker- and I decided to have a bake-off to see whose brownies were better. We will find out at the end of the day! Next on the agenda, the circulation workers and I-might i just interject that this is kind of cool that you get to see into the life of a worker, as opposed to your original viewpoint of a library goer patron such as Tarra and Rick- is a little competition. A patron requested 8 books from our library, so I gave half to Angie and half to Michael to see who would retrieve them first.
And who won???
Michael! And Angie came in close second. I only deemed it necessary to give them paper clip gold medals (minus the yogurt cups like in the office) but instead used post it notes. I wonder what else I will think of on this glorious Saturday at the library....
I have a question for all of you. Is it nerdy that I and many of the circulation workers enjoy tattle-taping all of the DVDs-putting a magnetic tape on the DVDs? It is so much fun! You all know you are jealous.
I hope my post was all to your taste, and I hope to be posting more, as more interesting things happen in...Madison's Corner! That sounds like a cheesy PBS show or a column in a big time magazine. I'm keeping it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO:
CAITLIN CHU
How old is Caitlin now!? FINALLY 19!!
While we're not in the library to really celebrate her birthday, Tarra (mainly Tarra) and I thought that it was deserving to give Caitlin here a birthday blog. If I were you guys, just pretend that we're all in the library. Heck, pretend that you're in your library back at home :)
Seeing as Caitlin has just turned 19, this upcoming school year she'll be faced with her fellow classmates turning 20, haha. It's alright Caitlin, you aren't the youngest of our class, just pretty close to being there :P
For those that are new to the blog, you've got about 80+ some posts to catch up, but for the sake of catching you up, Caitlin is one of our many followers. She has been there since the beginning. When I say that though I don't mean she's been in the library since the beginning, but she has been following us since the very first post. I'm pretty sure she even commented on that post. Take a look for yourself. Besides gracing the blog with her comments, Caitlin also made a few appearances in the blog as well. Although, there might not be a lot of blogs tagged with Caitlin's name, Tarra and I both know that Caitlin went from following the blog from her room to eventually being in the action of the blog as she studied in the library. In fact, I remember when I posted up the final vlog Caitlin was on that watching it within the 10 minutes that they had been up. That's some loyalty there!
So Caitlin, from Tarra and me: We wish you a Happy 19th Birthday. May it be an awesome year. I know 19 was (and still is) a good year from me. Thank you so much for being a follower from day one. You've been here with this blog when it started out rough and you've still managed to follow this blog as it under goes some drastic changes. Thanks so much Caitlin!P.S. To our readers/followers, expect more birthday blogs to grace the pages of The Adventures of Rick & Tarra.
