Stolen Clip, Update

I got this from my cousin Rachel's site. It made me laugh.

I'm sitting at the JET, "putzing around"* the internet. I don't have a car yet, but, fingers crossed, I'll have one tomorrow morning. Meanwhile, I've been pretty successful at borrowing a car when I need one, mostly from my mother. The only thing is, her car is the same color as the asphalt, so I get a little nervous driving it.

Other than that, I started sitting for the Garretts again, now on Wednesdays. I had to cart the four kids all over town. The highlight was a game of Mad-Libs on the way to dropping Elizabeth off at Mosaic (W Grand Blvd and 3rd, around) that even John, who is three, participated in. The best part was when Tommy Garrett had to name a liquid and chose "Poison." That worked very well, as you can imagine, especially when the entry was about a kitchen inspection.

On Monday I taught the three year old girl I sat for how to play Monopoly. We didn't get very far into the game, but she got the idea. She must have been so bored.

Rehearsals for Inherit the Wind have gotten to be kind of stressful. The part I have, Rachel, flips out in just about all her scenes. It takes a lot of emotional investing, and that seems to be harder for me to do ever since I dropped being depressed, say seven months ago. I'll take being stable, thank you.

Oh, and I'm hoping to go see Jeff Tweedy play a solo concert in Ann Arbor sometime soon... does anyone remember when that is? I need to make sure I have it off.

*I stole this phrase from Lisa, but it seems more appropirate since I am around more Jews than she is. BTW, I wonder if she knows what that word means... Uncle Matthew just explained.
