@msbeeton is one of the truly lovely people who grace us with their presence on twitter in New Zealand. Maybe its just me or is it that lots of lovely people have interests in two things L? Libraries and Literature. These two things go hand in hand. Add in a third - lovely - and that is the perfect description for Andrea.
Not every day is a winner for her. Some days are just plain rubbish to be honest. But Andrea has a significant level of resilience and an ability to overcome where others crumble. Having employment in a library opens her up to some interesting experiences and interactions with people which every so often she chooses to share with us. Such as -
"Met a kid called Otherwise this morning. Yup."
She also has the perfect recipe for fixing political issues of the day -
"Government shut downs, privileged people having tanties?
Just stay home and have a cup of tea and some cake loves #gbbolifelessons"
Just stay home and have a cup of tea and some cake loves #gbbolifelessons"
This amazing lady is a wife, a mum and a keep the house in order coordinator. Although it appears not everyone got the memo -
"It has just occurred to my husband that it is the school holidays and his previously stay at home wife
now has job. Ruh roh spaghettio"
She also has a knack for making what can be banal or plain into something quite cool -
"Somehow I've turned my essay on King Solomon's mines
into a discussion about how ace Tomb Raider is."
Being a full time mum, full time wife and full time librarian is not an easy balance to maintain. But somehow @msbeeton seems to make it look easy. With her tweets at least anyway. How do I describe her in 10 words or less? Like this - lovely lady, librarian, literature lover, wife, mum, refreshing, engaging, hilarious.
The last comment in todays post goes to the wonderful lady herself. Who lights up my timeline with thoughts and observations like these -
"Rose made lemon slice for afternoon tea, perfect studying snack, except now my keyboard is all sticky"
