The Spider Beside 'Er

Here's Little Miss Muffet, The Spider, and my best idea yet (and that's saying something Harry) A Paint By Numbers. Then again there is the idea I gave Erin to be Leftovers (just use foil!)

See... I have a little bit of a life....

Where!?!

Where in the World is Kaleb Baker?

Ok, he is officially the man of mystery. I get a text message from him on Sunday... which is odd as anyone will tell you because I have only been able to receive 5 text messages in my life. I'm just saying. So who is this Kaleb Baker? What is he even doing with his life? And where has he gone?

All these questions and more will be answered soon enough...

And the Nominees Are...

I was thinking it would be way fun to have an awards show for my friends and the amazing things they do. This was all inspired while I picked up Luis yesterday and drove him to work. We were talking about the best staff member and trying to define what that looked like. We came to the conclusion that it is nearly impossible to say because each member has a unique quality, but I think for the following categories I may be able say a definitive statement:

So if you would like to vote, you may. If not, I will just arbitrarily decide which is the most significant. Please place all votes in the way of comments... You don't need to vote for every category, but it would be nice if you did. I suggest the copy and paste method.

Best wishes to the Nominees. Results will be tallied and totaled soon...

Curb my Enthusiasm

Honestly. That show is just awkwardly like real life. I'm just saying. My lunch breaks have totally been all about it.

So life has been pretty intense this week. Life is a little crazy and it has been way stressful. But here's the thing, I am leaving the Children's Center in 14 days. I am going to finish my credential and start into the last phase of my Masters degree. Praise God!

So things are going well with Farah... We have new friends... And we will be posting those friends soon. I'm just saying... We have some Desssignersss who are friends and other midget type people. I love it.
