Help is on the way!

We had a sigh of relief and a shout for joy this week at work. . .the therapist that left for a new job in October is coming back this summer to work for us again! Yippee! Talk about awesome, no training needed, and we really love the guy too. We will once again be graced with the lovely sounds of random movies and a hilarious impression of a frenchman. We've also put out another offer, and will find out by the end of the week if he will come on as well. If we were fully staffed with 7 therapists, we'd be rocking out and doing some really cool stuff!

After a month of rain, we have had two weeks of amazing sunshine! This allowed us to finish up the whole exterior of our Habitat House (I got to help paint after the building was done). Raoul and I took a walk along the river on Sunday, and it was fantastic to get outside and enjoy the great weather. It definitely gets me excited about all the outdoor activities for the summer.

We have finally solidified plans for our families coming to visit--Raoul's M&D in two weeks, my sis and her boy the first of June and my parents and brother shortly after that. It will definitely be good to see them all again!

This Friday I am going to see Air Supply in concert right here in Lewiston. . .any of you 80's fans are I'm sure extremely jealous! :)

That's about all for now. . .off to attempt to get some ironing done. . .

It is officially flip-flop weather!

Yesterday after coming home from church, I ran inside to start celebrating. . . it is officially warm enough to declare flip-flop season open! Yippee!!

Things keep plugging right along here. Work is work, but we are interviewing some people for our job openings, yippee! Still plugging away with my class as well, but boy is it hard to study after coming home from work. And never fear, the queen of percrastination lives on! I worked this past weekend and tried to get stuff done around the house. . .and yes, I have finally made it through the massive pile of ironing that has been on my couch for 2 weeks now.

I officially finished the 5th season of Gilmore Girls last night. What a truly fantastic show! I never really caught on to it until last year, but going back through all of the episodes definitely made things more complete. And, I love the fact that I can watch them over and over again and not get tired of them!

American Idol continues to be one of my obsessions, though things have not been as great the past couple of weeks. Hopefully the contestants can really start to put something together now before they get kicked off. This week should be awesome. . .the songs of Queen. My fav. is still Chris, though I'm a fan of Katherine and Taylor as well. Ace has really got to go. . .I mean really, if you are going to have long hair, do it right not like some big poof ball. Bucky is on his way out as well. And I do have to disagree with Simon on one thing. . .Kelly Pickler is NOT a better singer/performer/personality than Carrie Underwood. She really is just Jessica Simpson (pre-Nick break-up) with a country flare. . .naiive and irritating.

This week is Easter and Raoul and I are going to Bill and Kathy's for dinner. The following weekend we are working with habitat for humanity and our church to build a house in a week! I love power tools!!! April is looking to fly right by, but I am excited because May/June/July are coming and they are going to be fantastic.

I leave you all with one question to ponder. I have really been craving Girl Scout cookies and finally they were at Wal-Mart yesterday. . . and they charged $4 a box! It really wasn't all that long ago that I last bought cookies and I'm pretty sure that they were $2.50. I personally think that the girl scouts are overcharging for their product and then hording up the money to buy a compound and take over the world (which they have fattened up with all those cookies!). Thoughts?
