It’s my mum’s birthday, and the phone rings. My little 3-year old niece (with my sis/her mum accompanying her) sings “Happy Birthday” into the answering machine for all to hear.
Sure, that’s cool…

UPDATE: Thanks to EVERYONE who signaled-boosted my previous note; your prayers and thoughts helped immensely.
According to what I’ve been told and read, my friends have been FOUND! They haven’t pinpointed their location yet, but somehow a call was able to get through (normally no reception way out in Opal Creek), and they said they’re fine, just cold and tired.
A ground crew is...

I just discovered that some friends of mine are potentially lost in Opal Creek - I guess it’s on the local news channels as well.
It’s a 50/50 feeling I’m experiencing right now, because from what I know, my friend Jordan is pretty outdoors savvy, and my friend Danielle has a good head on her shoulders.
But it’s still scary, thinking about the fact that they might be...

Nostlagia’s hitting me hard right now. I’m always realizing just how much the Muppets have always been a part of my life. How much Jim Henson has impacted my imagination and view of the world through everything he touched.
Crazy, I know. But they’re my heroes, and they’ve never let me down yet.
Jim never will.
Thanks, Jim, for all the magic you’ve given us...

Newsflash!
Gained a new follower who lives in Turkey!
Cool!! Welcome aboard, friend!
…but I feel awful silly because I can’t read Turkish, and I’m not sure where the Ask button is so I can welcome them myself.
SO without further ado and awkwardness on my part:

I showed a funny Boo (Mario Bros) gif to Heather, and since she hasn’t played the games, and so I started explaining how they cover their eyes when Mario looks at them…
Me: …*Home Alone face slap* MY GOSH THEY’RE WEEPING ANGELS.
(Heather can attest to the face-slap, since my Skype video was on at the time)
I forgot how obnoxious 1st graders are…especially spoiled ones whom I have to babysit. Doin’ for my mum while she’s out and about for a bit - she tutors this kid, and will be doing so through June. And all things considered, the kid’s all right most of the time.
But still…
“What are you doing? What’s that? Can I play the Wii? Can I have this? I...

Spell/grammar checking 5th grade history reports in my dad’s class, and came across a report on the composer Robert Shumann. The last paragraph in the report is as follows:
“Several times he tried to kill himself. After one time when he jumped off a bridge over the Rhine River, he admitted himself to an insane asylum where he died. It is thought he died of syphilis, which is a type of...

My Uncle Beans texts me today to tell me he now understands how to use Facebook.
This is a big deal, coming from a retired car/air conditioner mechanic who was certain he’d blow up a computer just by looking at it wrong.
He made sure to mention that I should check out his profile picture as well. It’s one of him and his son at the KISS concert they went to for his 50th b-day several...
