For some reason, they didn&#8217;t like it. The Boss quickly apologized.
The internet was buzzing  about it for a couple days, and some of the comments caught my eye. The first person said that if they were in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=teenblog.mrcpl.org&blog=5858644&post=954&subd=shanninb&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Sometimes I hate Mondays, Bits and Bramblers&#8230;don&#8217;t you? Especially icky, overcast, totally average Mondays? Of course you do. There&#8217;s no point in lying. But&#8230;even in totally average days, you still have fun right?

		<title>Let&#8217;s Not Pretend It&#8217;s Not ALL ABOUT THE CANDY&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#8230;because it totally is, right? I mean, you think Halloween, and the first thing that comes to your mind is CANDY. Okay, okay&#8230;maybe you think about finding the perfect costume, and dressing up as something really cool. But it&#8217;s probably to get CANDY, right?!?!
Or maybe you think about carving pumpkins into Jack-O&#8217;Lanterns (or if you [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=teenblog.mrcpl.org&blog=5858644&post=914&subd=shanninb&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Do YOU Know Your Banned Books?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
All right, Bits and Bramblers, today&#8217;s the last day of Banned Book Week. And remember our last post?

&#8230;After all, it is Banned Books Week! 
I&#8217;ve said it before, and I&#8217;ll say it again, Bits and Bramblers&#8230;I love  banned books. I just don&#8217;t understand book banning. See&#8230;in my opinion, one of the best parts of the library is the fact that we have books, movies, and music about everything  for everyone.

&#8230;You know the Jumble, Bits and Bramblers? You can find it in the newspaper? 
Yeah&#8230;I don&#8217;t like that game. I mean, I like to think I&#8217;m pretty  good with words, but when they&#8217;re all messed up? Not so much. My head spins when I try to sort them out. 
In fact, I&#8217;d rather pretend [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=teenblog.mrcpl.org&blog=5858644&post=724&subd=shanninb&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

&#8230;Uh-huh, you read that right. And it&#8217;s in Swedish, so you probably  don&#8217;t have any idea what it means. It says, &#8220;The Library is Good for You.&#8221; See, I&#8217;m about to explain one of the reasons why libraries are so awesome&#8212;and it totally  involves Swedish.
Remember the whole&#8230;mess  this summer? Well, I&#8217;m not [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=teenblog.mrcpl.org&blog=5858644&post=750&subd=shanninb&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
