2/18/11 Phineas and Ferb

I had never seen Phineas and Ferb before. Ethan, and Jason, both really like it. Now, I am a big fan of cartoons and thoroughly enjoy Spongebob Squarepants. I think the fact that I watched cartoons instead of "real" shows annoyed John. Because I would. He would come home to me watching Saturday morning cartoons. I find a lot of cartoons more entertaining. Maybe it is because I grew up without a television in the house. Maybe I'm stuck in a state of trying to make up for my past. Anyway, Jason and I watched an episode. After Ethan had gone to bed. Do other people do this? It was pretty good. I need to do some more research of course and watch more episodes before I truly make up my mind. But how can you not like a show that has a platypus for a pet? That also happens to be a secret agent? I ask you, how?

I am thankful for cartoons.

2/17/11 Training Video

Today I found out I was cast in a medical training video. Exciting. It would be better if I wasn't playing the role of ASL interpreter but that is ok too.

I am thankful for my recent casting.

2/16/11 Snow

This winter has been lame. I don't even need to go into it. But it was fun to see the snow start falling this morning. It didn't stick and it didn't last. I wish it had. That would have been super fun. It is so fun when we get it because it is pretty rare. I don't want to live in a place where it snows a lot, for several months on end. But I do like at least a showing of it once a year. Today was not quite what I was hoping for but it was fun still the same.

I am thankful for snow.

2/15/11 Finders Keepers

I do a lot of checking, but I am very good at finding money. I have sharp eyes and I look for it. I am the person who will pick up a penny. Growing up I found money at the post office often. Stamp machines, phone booths, newspaper stands. One time I found a 20-dollar bill in a parking lot. For a kid that was a lot of money. Heck, if I found that today I would think that was a lot to find.

I have been finding a lot of change these past few days. Phone booths aren't very popular anymore now that people have cell phones. It seems like I don't see very many newspaper stands either. This severely limits the amount of places I can look for change. But I still look and I am always excited when I find some. Funny.

I am thankful for finding money. With enough change maybe I can buy a gallon of gas...

2/14/11 Fudgy

I am thankful for brownies. They are delicious. But not the cake kind. The dense fudge kind.

2/13/11 Toys R Us

Ryan Osterman was in my honors classes in junior high and high school. I didn't really know him too well. I think maybe he was too cool for me and I was pretty shy. But I did know him, so when I saw him at Toys R Us looking at board games down the aisle from where my mom and I were, I went over and bumped into him. Thus started the beginning of our relationship. Suddenly he noticed me and was interested. Sadly for him, it took awhile for me to become interested but then Ryan became the first person I dated. And it is all traced back to a toy store.

Anyway I was reminded of this memory because I was in a Toys R Us today with Jason and his son Ethan looking for some toys for Ethan. I played with multiple sizes of balls and Ethan rode on some interactive bicycle game thingie, all three of us took a turn on some platform thing with wheels that you kneel on and steer. I don't know what it was called, but it was fun. I really enjoy playing with games in the store. I think I've also played ball with Erika in a Fred Meyer before. Games are fun.

I am thankful for playing with the various games available in toy stores. Whee!

2/12/11 Arts and Crafts

I miss making arts and crafts. I made my valentines today. Shopped for special paper and pulled out my supplies. I opened my box with all my card making supplies and it reminded me how much I enjoy doing artsy things and haven't been able to do them as of late. Always working too much. If anyone knows how I can become independently wealthy so I can just act and then work for fun, let me know. I'd have much more time to do the things I want to. Thank you.

I am thankful for being able to take the time today to make something creative.
