Long time, no entry

I haven't written for awhile because I was getting sick of writing about the same things all the time. I noticed that all I ever write about is the family I work for (kids supply endless topics) and the environment (President Bush provides endless topics). Then I realized, those things are my life and frankly, I have nothing else to talk about. So I will continue to talk about them. However, I found something else for today. I am sure a lot of you have heard of YouTube. I discovered it when someone emailed me a link to the Evolution of Dance. Then today I was reminded that I saved the web address (as I often do so I have things to look at later when I have nothing to do, which is always) when the Today Show featured the website. So tonight I explored it. And the first video I looked at was one called Where the Hell is Matt? There isn't really a point to this entry expect to recommend YouTube and this particular video. Something so simple brought me much enjoyment, I hope it does for you too. And may I leave you with some wisdom that Matt (from the video) said in his 'Less frequently asked questions': "Why is the world so screwed up? Men. How do we fix it? Women." What a smart, smart man.

A friend of mine has been asking me to tell you to hurry up and blog again; she loves your topics. And so do I.

I like hearing about the family you work for... I mean, are any of us really writing about the most amazing things? No. My last entry was about hair... and I wrote an entry about a blue notebook once. It's life and yes, sometimes it's boring to ourselves. But life is exactly what makes books, movies, and stories exciting, it's not our life, it's someone else's.

Oh, and while you're on YouTube, check out the Butte, Montana clip from the Daily Sow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuFy1pvHzsg It's a pretty funny clip related to the hole in the ground full of toxic water that just sits there (the Berkeley Pit). You all should believe that Montana has nothing to see too cuz then it might stay just the way it is - my own personal playground ;-)

P.S. An Inconvenient Truth is coming to our little culturally diverse theater and we are expecting such high numbers that it might be here for weeks. Exciting!

I wasn't doubting that you all liked my topics, it was more of me getting bored with what I was writing. But thanks for the support, glad to know you like reading what I'm writing. And bdoc, about An Inconvenient Truth, maybe we can see it together when I am there (if it is still there, that is). I haven't seen it yet because I don't want to see it alone, I will be depressed and have no one to talk to about it.

I have a hard time believing I'll be able to wait until you get here in 14 more sleeps.

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"

I was always a bit skeptic of this phrase. How can being away from a person make you fonder? With time, you will slowly start to forget the sound of their laughter and the scent of their hair. You will forget the way they dance and the way they like their toast. Sure, when you see them again, when they laugh or dance, all those things come rushing back. Being away may make you yearn for them, but you no longer know them as well as you used to. At least that is what I used to think. I should have know this phrase was true since whenever I would see my sisters again, it was like no time had passed. I don't know what it was that made me realize all that I took for granted, maybe it is being away from home for so long or my travel mishaps or my friend's car accident or maybe just that I am getting older, something made me see how I took everything for granted in my life before I came here. It was so easy, I could go up the stairs or across the hall or get in my car and spend a day

What do I do?

All week I have made some attempt to tell the parents I am leaving. It started on Tuesday, all night I tried to tell them, but everytime I was about to bring it up, one of the parents would leave the room or the baby got hurt, etc. Wednesday, I made plans to go to the neighbors when the parents got home, but I made an attempt to tell them anyway, but S was glued to my side. I kept trying to distract her with food and television, but no go. I could have just said "I need to talk to you parents, go away", but I know her well enough to know that would have only peaked her interest and she would never go away. Last night, I was SO ready to tell them. The father asked me to watch the girls for 15 minutes while he weed-whacked the yard. I said sure, thinking the mother should be home any minute and then I could tell her when he is outside (I decided that if I can't tell them both at the same time, I will tell the mother alone). I waited and waited and waited. Not only was it 8

Target

I called my Mom to tell her that the parents are back and that I am responsibility-free in the evenings and weekends again. She didn't answer, but returned my phone call soon after. I told her my news, and she shared with me that she was about to head into the new Target. We are a family of Target-lovers, what's not to love? As she walked in, she said "it's huge." I tried talking to her, but could tell that she was distracted. She started to ask me something, "Did you... you should see the card section, it is like the one in Grand Forks." I, again, tried to change the subject back to what I was talking about. I finally let her go because she needed to finish shopping in there before returning home to watch Lost, throwing in "it has a Starbucks" before we said our goodbyes. A few minutes later my phone rings. It is my Mom again, she called to say "You should see all the food they have. They have a lot of organic food, organic oatmeal and or
