The sky was sad...
So it opened its mouth and out came the rain!
"Oh no!" said the ants,
and so to the patio door they ran.
But man, were they unlucky...
and at the door they met their match!
And piled and piled and piled...
until "whoosh!" they were vac-ed away.

If I Won $100000...
Today, on my drive back from the beach (after an awesome couple hours of surfing and a great lunch at the Secret Spot), I passed by a sign that said Pac 9 (or something like that) Jackpot- $100000. That got me thinking, what would I do if I won $100000? And this is what immediately popped into my head: (in this exact order)
1. I would pay off my immediate school loans ($8000)
2. I would open a trust fund for James' college education ($42000)
3. I would invest the rest of the money in stocks or something else...and if I make a good return, I'd help James out a bit more!
::sigh:: It makes me feel good that those are the first things that popped into my head. Aren't I a great sister x)

Hope
Today was my first day of work at my new internship-the Make-A-Wish Foundation. For two hours, I did data entry and called to verify information. Granted, I didn't finish all that many wish referrals (as they're called) but man, it was quite an experience.
Many of the families I called were quite guarded when they first answered the phone. But after I told them I was calling from the Make-A-Wish Foundation, they all quickly perked up and their voice were hopeful. It was so awesome and gratifying to hear the change in their voices from guarded and tiredness/frustration to hope and happiness that their child had the possibility of having a wish come true.
It's nice to work for a cause, to be able to help and inspire hope and happiness. Hopefully, I'll be more efficient and increase my productivity on Monday. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
