Hey, Tuesday! Pig 'n a Poke!
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!

MBV3D was really good. Don't go expecting an Oscar worthy movie and you'll be pleasantly surprised. And Jensen? Looks crazy hot in that movie. Crazy hot.
Awh, Winnie. ♥
no subject
No Oscar for 3D!Jensen then? Oh, well. I'm sure we'll enjoy it none the less. :D

no subject
2) TWO SLEEPS! \O/ ...if I ever get to sleep tonight.
3) Kids are hard work. ;)
4) Right now she's still a snoozy kitty... thankfully. Today's mischief has worn her out. :)
5) Leverage is great. So much fun. I love Kyle XY too! I was watching the latest episode while typing this entry. :)
no subject
I haven't seen you for TOO LONG, Katy. *glomps* [I'm so sorry you're going to be getting home so late because of me. :( *hides face*]
3. I love your story, hahaha. <3
4. I'm so excited! I can't wait to hear them, bb.
5. Happy Leverage Tuesday to you too.
<3
no subject
IKR. It was way before Christmas.
No worries about being out late. :) I'm more worried about you guys getting home at that time. I'm driving so I can give people a lift home... just not sure where everybody lives.
3) :D
4) I thought Winnie would have calmed down by now but I think she's getting worse. LOL!
5) ♥
no subject
[Except all put together. :)]
Oh, I'll be alright - I'm pretty sure my parents are picking me up. I live pretty far from you I think. [I'm not sure cause I have no idea where you live.]
LOLOL. Oh Winnie. *pets her* Maybe she's had too much sugar?
<33
no subject
Cool. Glad you're getting picked up.
LOL @ Winnie having too much sugar. She doesn't have sugar except when she has ice cream or the middle of Oreo Cookies or... No, I think that's the extent of her sugar intake. :P
6.5 hours until MBV3D!
no subject
Ahaha, I may or may not be giving her extra sugar. *cough*
MBV3D WAS EPIC WIN Y/Y?
no subject
I really need to see it again. *plots*
Mmmmmm...Leverage! It's definitely in my top 5 favorite shows of this season. New or old!
no subject
Leverage is almost in my Top 5 favourite TV shows of all time - Supernatural, X-Files, Buffy, M*A*S*H, Firefly, and Leverage. Not bad for a show only 11 episodes old. ;)
no subject
2. \O/
3. I can totally understand why you could forget a name like Jared. It's not like you think about a guy with that name on a regular basis at all.
4. Oh, goody, goody gumdrops!!
5. WOOT!!
no subject
2) No more sleeps!
3) Exactly!
4) Hahaha! I haven't heard that expression for ages. :D

I'll watch it only tonight.
no subject
omg, really? that's so weird!
Jared? it's not a common name not even in America/Australia, is it?
Anyway, how was the kid? you remember it? sweet, cute, funny? :)
I'm curious now....
*hugs*
no subject
Jared is not overly common but it's not uncommon either. That probably doesn't make sense but it's a name you hear a bit, especially in Australia. Jared, the kid I knew was, 4 years old when he started in my group. The last time I saw him he was probably 7 or 8 years old. He'd be about 16 by now!
