Tres cosas para ti...

1) I am not painting. How did this happen? Well let me tell you- it has been a rough week in the subject of employment for this chica. Between going to set paper work up at my sweet painting job, not losing my social security card in the move of my houses, being asked to work at an assembly line...yeaa...it's a story that needs to be told in person. But bottom line, I gave painting the X.

2) I am so incredibly excited for summer festivities to get rolling it's ridiculous. By festivities, I mean Playgrounds and hot sunny weather. Last night I worked at Playground Registration. I was greeted by a line down the street of parents as I entered the community center. I sat down- it the clock struck 6:30 and the people streamed in. As I started registering kids I got really excited. Parents, whose kids I had last summer, rushed over to my table excited to see what park I would be stationed at for the summer(ps my park is sweet shit- tons of trees, awesome pavilion, big grassy areas). My heart jumped everytime I saw a name of a child I had last summer being added to my list. Unfortunately I also saw the name of one of the biggest trouble makers in the world whom I also had last summer.... He's 6 this year- hopefully he grew up a bit; I highly doubt it- seeing as at one point in the summer last year he just kept running full speed away from me and wouldn't come back. Yeaaa that was a good day....

Nevertheless, I got more and more excited throughout registration- a summer of slip 'n slide, Painting a big bus with finger paint and then washing it, field trip to the zoo, funny songs, arts and crafts, hula hoops.... Could the summer be any better? I'm a camp counselor at heart- there is no doubt about that in my mind. There is something about bringing smiles and joy to a child for a summer that just gets me. You become their rolemodel- and it's an amazing feeling.

3)I got an email from my uncle today:


...Don't blink, you'll be graduated and have a job before your eyes open up again. Or in my case, you'll be celebrating 19 years with the same company - 6/15/2006. ... yes, if your doing the math, I started here the about the same time you were born. I was 23 at the time... That's why they say, "life is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the ride."
A completely random email from my uncle at work in Oshkosh- It made me think, and it made me smile.


*sigh* summer is underway...and I'm missing somepeople. Until next time...
