Sometimes we get so caught up waiting for something that's coming that we miss everything that happens until then

Random thoughts and lessons and info from the last few days that I've been meaning to put in my journal.
- The biggest news of the last two weeks: I TAUGHT LUCY TO ROLL OVER! I was so proud of her and myself for all our hard work!
- Keira Knightly is the perfect actress for Elizabeth Bennet. She was exactly what I imagined reading the book. She was extremely likeable as well and made me really want to be friends with her.
- I really enjoy this part in Erin Brockovich:
Kurt Potter: Wha... how did you do this?
Erin Brockovich: Well, um, seeing as how I have no brains or legal expertise, and Ed here was losing all faith in the system, am I right?
Ed Masry: Oh, yeah, completely. No faith, no faith...
Erin Brockovich: I just went out there and performed sexual favors. Six hundred and thirty-four blow jobs in five days... I'm really quite tired.
- So I caught Lucy red handed . . errrr . . I mean red faced the other day. I was taking a quite enjoyable nap on the couch after work and I left Lou out cause I felt bad that she had been in her kennel all day. So I'm sleeping and I wake up and see that my cup is knocked over on the table. I don't see any trace of my drink though so I assume that it was just empty. Well I was wrong. A few minutes later Lucy comes up and sits by me on the couch. I'm petting her and then I see that one whole side of her face (ear included) is red from drinking my kool-aid. What a punk.
- When it storms outside and the thunder is really loud Lucy will bite your hair and try to wake you up because she doesn't like to be alone. She's a scaredy cat.
- The two weeks I have to plan for work are Water week and Mad Science week. Water week I think we will do the slip n slide, baloon tosses, musical sprinkler, and other water games, have a luau-ish thing on Thursday, swimming at the pool on Friday, make some leis, maybe watercolor, some food treats like fish cupcakes or an edible jello fishbowl, and I don't know what else. Then for mad science/magic (slop and glop) we're going to make goop, peanut paper playdoh, maybe paste paintings, fingerpaint, some science experiments, fingerprint lift, mud pie, maybe some card tricks or wands, and whatever else I think of. So if anyone has any fun ideas for those themes let me know!
- I'm addicted to the food network channel. Today I've been watching all of these wedding cake challenges. It's great. It makes me really want to go to like cooking classes or something. The desserts they make and decorate are amazing! I think it would be a really fun hobby.
- I love Lucy.
- Liz from work really wants me to go to some meeting on Wednesday for some seminar thingies that she goes to. I really don't want to. I don't know why really. I just don't have any desire but I don't really know how to get out of it.
- You people stink at communication. :) None of you let me know really whether staying with Kim was cool or you wanted a room or what. It would be nice to have beds in a room but we could also walk from the bars to Kim's so . . . what's more important? So I'm not booking a room unless people tell me they want one cause I don't want to eat the cost.
- I'm almost positive that I'm going to come home in August from the 4th till the 13th. I'm really really really excited. I haven't been to Missouri in 5 months and by August it'll be 7 months and I'll really be ready to see good old O'Fallon and St. Louis. Plus I'm going to hopefully go on the rugby float trip so I'll get to see a lot more people than I normally would at home! Yay! All of you that can better be going on the float trip so I can see you!
- I got my invitation to Brennan's wedding the other day. I'm kind of sad that I'll miss it. It was really sad to read Brennan Buck Delaney son of the late . . It's sad that he'll have no parents there.
- After watching all these people make pastries and cakes and pies and everything under the sun made out of sugar, I really want a sweet.
- I learned how to put playlists on my MP3 player. YAY!
- The house will no longer be only mine after tomorrow.
Ok that's all I can remember at the current moment. I know there are a lot more but I'll think of them later and then have to do an addition edition.
