I've just spent the last two hours entertaining a little girl who's staying at the RMH while her baby brother is at the hospital.  She's 7 years old and super cute.  She drew me two pictures which I've hung in the office.  We played math bingo where she showed off her math and subtraction skills.  We then played a matching game which was quite a ( Read more... )

I'm working at the Ronald McDonald House this weekend and since I have nothing better to do here (it's been a slow night), I have decided that it is high time that I start a myspace account.  What can I say, I'm a conformist.  Unfortunately, myspace has decided that I'm not cool enough to part of their vast network of friends (which in my opinion ( Read more... )

Call me biased but my niece is adorable.  Hawk, Dani, and Alia stopped by today for dinner.  She didn't have her costume on (actually she didn't have anything on) because she was a bit warm...and a bit cranky...but after dinner we managed to get her into her costume.  She was a pot of honey!  Or, I should say "hunny."  So cute.  Alas, she was a bit ( Read more... )

Well it looks like the Sox are holding off the Astros pretty well.  I'm actually more of a Red Sox fan but any team from Chicago is ok in my book.  (Otherwise, Em's family might disown me and they've provided my room and board the last three times I was in Chi-town. ;o) )

I just finished re-reading To Kill a Mockingbird a few weeks and promptly went out to buy the special edition DVD of the movie starring Gregory Peck.  I remembered how much of love that book.  Especially Atticus, Scout, and Boo.  But then I remember how much I hate people and just wanted to yell at each and every one of the jurors at Tom Robinson's ( Read more... )

Ever since I made a the decision not to make the "big move," I feel as if a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders.  I've been reflecting on my life and my current situation and I'm beginning to feel much happier about where I am at.  I know the past year I've been disatisfied with my personal life which lead me to feel this need that if I ( Read more... )

If you are ever in Boise during the summer months, I highly recommend attending a performance at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival.  I've only gone a small handful of times and each time I go, I fall more and more in love with the plays and my impatience to attend another performance grows.

Last night, Angela, Kelly, Mike (Kelly's friend from the ( Read more... )

Ok, I really need to stop wasting money.  Yesterday, before Leesha and I went to see Red Eye (good flick...probably not the best thing to watch right before I fly to Chicago on Wednesday though), we decided to kill some time and I went into Hot Topic and saw this shirt.  I, of course, had to get it because as you know, Sith happens. ;o)
