If you are here for Monday Mingle, please take a moment to read about our Featured Member, Daenel, who has two blogs, Living Outside the Stacks and Curious Child’s Library Wanderings.
Living Outside the Stacks is one year old and a blog that runs the gamut – fun, humorous, serious, touching…you’ll find a little bit of everything at Daenel’s “home”.
Her other blog, which is now three years strong, is about her life as “Queen of the Histolibrarianivists” – try to say that five times fast. I dare you! Curious Child’s Library Wanderings, has more than just posts about libraries – you’ll find posts about current events, social networking and much more.
Both of Daenel’s blogs have her unique voice and strong writing style - one is more informational with some thought provoking topics and the other has a more personal “grab a cup of coffee and chat with me” sort of feel – both are worth visiting and I hope you’ll do so and leave her some comments!
Congratulations, Daenel!!!
Now for my Monday Mingle!
After you watch the video I would LOVE, if you aren’t a Mingler yet, for you to answer the questions in the comments below. If you are a Mingler, rest assured, I’ll be making my rounds to your vlog sometime – usually later in the week, but I always get there! I notice many of my fellow Minglers watching my vlogs but not commenting. Please comment! I would love to know what you think!
Oh, and there is a special link to an “Extra!” at the end of the video. I think it will make you laugh!

Liked the vlog, as always. Too funny she was rolling on a dead crab! Always good to be naughty when Mommy’s busy.

@jessicanne – Yeah, you know? It was like she *knew* she could get away with it. It was SO HARD to keep a straight face because she was going to town – rolling, standing up, sniffing, repositioning herself and then FLOPPING back down with utter glee to roll some more. I knew it had to be gross!
You have a dog so I know you have probably seen it more than your fair share of times!

Love your questions to the answers. I think you’d be fun to hang out with in “real life.” I think we need a BYB meet up.
LOL @ the watermelon seed spitting with your grandfather. That’s cute.
Omg, the dog and the crab! Maybe those claws were hitting the spot? That is hilarious.
Just stopping by… enjoying your mingle – and the “extra” video at the end!
@Daenel – You know…I’ve been thinking of a BYB meet up! I think it would be awesome to meet everyone in person if possible. Oh, and I think you would be fun in real life too! That is one of the things that is so fun about the vlogs – getting to see and hear a person, albeit perhaps nervous in front of a camera, you still get another piece to the puzzle of them and it is wonderful!
Yeah, apparently spitting seeds out rated higher than not liking watermelon. I know it was a pretty early memory because he passed away when I was two or three, plus. I think it is the only one distinct memory I have of him!
I SO wish I had gotten a shot of her rolling on that crab. It certainly may have felt good on her back because she was going at it the GLEE and GUSTO. That was a VERY, HAPPY dog while she was enjoying that moment. The look she had…well, it was hard not to laugh, hence the smirking in the video.
@Lisa – Thanks for stopping by and commenting on the Mingle! I have to have a Mingle Marathon myself.
Oh I just love her! And for the record, I cannot say that word even once
Hello! You look so relaxed! You did good on the questions – impressive!
Petrolia is actually the tiniest place you’ve ever been LOL Not much to see there.
I really love your site and promise I will come back more often. There is so much to see and do here!
Thank you for mingling

LOL! That word IS a mouthful!!! Yeah, Daenel is pretty super. All the members are and it has been SO nice to highlight everybody each week!
Thank you for the compliments!!! I hope you will, it is a great group and I think your voice here would be a fabulous addition.
I watched your vlog and found out what Petrolia actually was. Surprised me! I knew you lived in CA so that is why I guessed the other question.
Thank you for hosting us each week!
How could not like Watermelon? lol Throughout the video I just knew Isabelle was up to something! LOL she was rolling over a crab of all things! Now that was a shocker.
