whatever random thoughts I decide to write about today. . .

I babysat for a family tonight with two really cute little kids. The baby is only three months old and I really don't care for babies until they're at least like 6 months old (I don't like that whole breakable thing and that crying but it's hard to always find out why thing) but I actually kinda liked this one. She would NOT let me feed her but other than that she was pretty laid back. Andrew is 3 and he was pretty darn cute too. He did do the whole "NO" thing a couple times but overall a very nice change from the kids who beat me up every day.
Tomorrow is a party for Kaci and Scott in preparation for their wedding. I guess a wedding shower you could kinda say. I don't know what to call it - we're going to drink and play games in the backyard so . . . whatever that's called. I'm excited. I think it'll be a good time.
After watching ER tonight I got to thinking: Why is it that whenever we really need help the most we push people away? There was a tragedy on ER (try not to act too surprised) and Abby was trying to help Neela through it but Neela only wanted to be alone. It was really obvious that she needed Abby but people think they can always do it better by themselves. What is it inside us that makes us push people away when a lot of time what's best is holding onto someone?
I've fallen completely in love with Lou Lou. She's the best dog ever. I don't want Linds to ever live away from me because I'll cry not seeing Lucy. I'll miss Linds too I guess! ;)
Well I better get on that laundry I want to do and then get to bed. I'll more than likely be getting a phone call in about 2 and a half hours from some trashed OT girls needing a ride.
I'm really getting sucked into this episode of Challenge on The Food Network. I love that show. This one is a funny mixture of bread and pastry. Each team has to make like 3 pastries, 3 types of bread, a huge awesome looking bread sculpture and then a sugar and chocolate sculpture. They are just so cool! I am in awe of these people!!!
Anyways I'm off to bed. I miss you girls and I love you!

Quote of the Entry:

"Though the pain is miles and miles behind her
And the fear is now a docile beast
If you ask her why she is still running
She'll tell you it makes her complete

I run for hope
I run to feel
I run for the truth
For all that is real
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
I run for you and me, my friend, I run for life"

~Melissa Ethridge - "I run for Life"
I heard this song for the first time this morning on the radio and was so amazed that there was actually a song about running in Breast Cancer runs. It made me want to find one around here to do!
