    I went into Christina's Cooking School group and did her "Improve a Recipe" project. This is my recipe: http://diigo.com/0lcnq. Simple, but it works.

    I could see myself using Diigo. On the Experiments assignment, I made sure that I did a project I would actually use, just in case I decided I liked it. Others have commented on the lag time and I wonder if some of the things I thought didn't work are because the system was slow or if I really didn't do them right. It's quite possible that I redid things I didn't need to redo.

    Honestly, I found the Help feature here to be useless. Several times I would try a link and find a blank page with a title. Not helpful at all. So I kept exploring and eventually figured out what I was working on.

    I work mostly with children at the public library, so I don't know that I would use this with the children. But I could see using it to organize myself. I could also see it as a possibility for sharing ideas among the children's librarians in our library system. Although, we have a hard enough time getting some of them to understand going on our local network to open a file, so asking them to contribute to something online could be a bit... optimistic? It is a thought though.

    I made a list called SRP Ideas 2012 and found some sites with different craft and activity ideas that I could use for Summer Reading. It's insane to me to be thinking about summer already, but our first deadline is Dec. 27!

    I can't decide what I think about Diigo and bookmarks. I had a dreadful time convincing it to let me make a list and then had a hard time getting it to let me add things to the list. So I'm not loving the mechanics.

    I do like that everything is organized, though. I can find all my ideas in one place instead of having bookmarks and favorites scattered all through Firefox. I like that I could save things I come across at home, too, without sending an email message to my work address with the links. And being able to make notes to myself is really nice.

    I guess I'll have to play with it some more and see what I really think. :)

      Craft idea... could work for craft fair, too.
  • Space Pudding 1 Box of Instant Pudding (for 2 children) Milk (according to instructions on pudding box) Ziploc® bags (1 for each child) Measuring cups For a Space Theme, talk to the children about how astronauts need to eat differently when they are in space because of gravity. Pour half a box of pudding into each child's Ziploc bag. Measure enough milk to make half a box of pudding and allow children to add it to their pudding in the bag. Seal the bag (make sure it's really sealed!!) Children can squish the bag around with their hands, mixing the pudding with the milk. When all of the pudding is mixed, cut a small hole in the corner of the bag and let the kids suck the pudding out!

    I've never been a big fan of poetry. I guess that I just don't like being told that everything has to have a deeper meaning. Sometimes I think that a beautiful flower can just be a beautiful flower. Oh well.

    I have always loved Shel Silverstein so I looked for him. I didn't recognize this poem, Mr. Grumpledump's Song, but it sure suite my mood this weekend: http://diigo.com/0lbzs

    And in true Shel Silverstein fashion, it made me smile.
