The Daffodil Principle*
I have had the craziest week. Work is picking up again, I had several assignments due last night, and tonight we hosted a big activity for the youth program I am involved in. I tend to get very focused and stressed when I have a billion things to do in a short amount of time, and this week has been no exception. I had to speak at the activity tonight, and for days I’ve been trying to put together what I would say. Everything was based around accomplishments, setting goals and having learning experiences, and I wanted to find the right words to get out what I wanted to say.…

Mario Kart Magic*
I would never call myself a “gamer”, but I’ve always kind of liked simple video games. I’m a monopoly addict on my blackberry, and I went through an obsessive Plants vs. Zombies phase over the Christmas holidays and throughout most of January.

Lil’ P-Nut*
Okay. I may be a bit behind on this one, but I recently saw this video and fell in love with this kid. Lil’ P-Nut is a 7 year old rapper with the best stage presence and manners I’ve ever seen. The video is absolutely hysterical, and this kid will steal your heart in about 5 seconds. LOVE. This kid is seven. I am so impressed right now that it’s not even funny. I thought I was cool when I wrote my first “book” around the same age… and it was a collection of stick drawings and one word captions. I didn’t get on Ellen. Pffft. I am also in…

My New Nephew*
My lovelies, meet my beautiful nephew: Hugh. I’d say more, but he’s just… perfect. Sometimes words just aren’t good enough. :)
