1) Thank you to everyone for your thoughts on the bushfires here in Victoria. Sadly, they are still burning and the death toll is still rising. If there is anything positive to come out of the tragic events of the past few days it's the generosity and support pouring in from around Australia. The Red Cross has set up the Victorian Bushfire Appeal 2009 and as of 9:00 PM Tuesday night, they had received over $31 million in donations. This is from a country of of only 20 million people. It makes me proud to be an Aussie.
2) Only two sleeps until the Team!Shortbus outing to see 3D!Jensen! My Bloody Valentine 3D starts here on Thursday and I can't wait. \O/
3) A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away I used to work at a Child Care Centre. I have a university degree in Early Childhood Studies (Kindergarten / PreSchool Teacher) but I haven't worked with kids for nearly nine years.
For the past few months I've been trying to remember the name of one of the kids I had in my 3/4 year old group for a couple of years. I know you shouldn't have favourites but hanging out with a group of kids is like hanging out with any other group of people in that you get on better with some more than others. I'm pretty sure I didn't play favourites but I loved having this kid in the group and I was a little sad I couldn't remember his name especially since I had no trouble remembering his little brother's name.
If I can't remember a name I generally go through the alphabet until I get to a letter which sounds familiar. In this case, I kept sticking on 'J'. Jonathan, Joshua, Jacob, etc... Arrgh! Nothing sounded right. Yesterday morning I was thinking about it again and this time I got as far as thinking 'Jensen', which was just ridiculous because I knew very well that it wasn't Jensen. I had a bit of a chuckle to myself thinking about how so many things in my day-to-day life invariably lead back to Jensen or Jared when, OMG!!! I remembered his name. It was Jared!
That's totally understandable that I forgot that paticular name, right? I mean, it's not as if 'Jared' is a name I see or hear on a daily basis or anything. *facepalm*
There probably wasn't much point to that story, sorry. :D
4) I have tales of mischief to share with you tomorrow on 'Winchester Wednesday'. The cat is out of control! However, if you could see her this minute you wouldn't believe it. She's currently curled up next to me on my bed, fast asleep.
5) Happy Leverage Tuesday!
