time to get out of bed and walk my horse...

last night while babysitting for two of the prettiest little girls in the US, we were reading the book Good-Night Moon. on every other page there is a full bedroom shot and there's a mouse that changes location every time. A lot of children find that the real enjoyment to be derived from this story is to prove your skill be being able to locate the mouse without assistance (think Where's Waldo). so, i found it very funny that natalie, age five, would point out the mouse and then nicole, age one, not to be out done by her sister, would quickly point out the location of the fireplace, which never changed and was always in the center of the room. she was so proud of herself!
i find it quite flattering that all the Christians that i baby-sit for always want to set me up with Christian guys they know. for some odd reason i always get the impression that they are rather desperate for me to have a boyfriend. yes, i find quite a bit of humor in that! it's always encouraging though, because they share the sales pitch that they use when describing me and they have all used the phrase "morally upstanding." i'm always interested in what others think when they look at me so it's always nice to find that they have a very positive view of you. and now i know who to talk to if i want a tall, wealthy husband- since those are the two qualities they always look for for me... wait, does that mean they think i'm morally upstanding yet hallow? bummer... :)
