11 59 pm pdt   [ last Monday ]

Matthew and I were just sitting on the couch eating strawberries and chocolate. I eat them nearly ever night and these strawberries are especially delicious and came from the farmer's market this weekend. Matthew dropped one of the couch. We have a white couch and a white blanket lives on it. The white blanket got a large brown smudge on it and Matthew began whimpering. I asked him if he was whimpering because he wasn't sure if he could still eat the strawberry. He nodded. After a careful lint inspection, he sonsumed it. Then he deftly removed the chocolate stain.

Today was my last Monday at this job and I will miss the kids very much. I am having no luck at finding a new job and I'm not sure what I'm going to do if I can't find anything. Also, we need to let the manager know by the 7th if we are going to move out. Things are getting crazy!

Here is one of my favorite kids. He cut his lip and I said, "You can't put a band-aid on it." He claimed he could, so I suggested two band-aids, right across his mouth. He wore them proudly:

PS: The big tup of margerine in the background was out for the 20 boxes of Mac & Cheese I had to make. It took and hour and a half (though a lot of that time was waiting for water to boil).

word count: I am currently reading Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. I am on page 276 of 981. I have also read 20of the 96 pages of endnotes.

100 words: There are not many desserts I enjoy, but the ones I do, oh how I do! I worship strawberries and chocolate. I melt chocolate chips in the microwave and dip in cool "strawbs" straight from the refrigerator. I adore fried bananas, especially topped with a little sweet syrup and sesame seeds. I love homemade apple pie, though I have been banned form making the crust. I crave vegan banana bread, sprinkled with walnuts and perhaps chocolate chips. I miss the cool velvety texture of Baskin Robins Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. I could go on, but I am salivating already.

I have a routine when I come home to LA, which involves me sitting on my bum for a week before I let anyone know that I am here.
