Feel the heat.

The air conditioning at work keeps going out. I think I can cope with that, but volatile four-year-olds aren't the most fun to hang out with when they're hot. I'm grateful for popsicles, cold washcloths, and industrial fans.

Here are two things that happened today:

1. I must have looked tasty, because two kids just clamped down and tried to gnaw off my arm. I have a pretty sweet bitemark that one of them left me, so I can show all my friends.

2. We were in the middle of circle time this morning and in walks Nancy Boyda. That was pretty cool. I'm a fan of members of Congress who express an interest in mental health. I guess she told our director that Congress just voted to give themselves raises or something, and she wants to give her extra money to local community mental health centers. Most of the people I work with wanted that promise in writing. It's a nice thought at least.

Here are a few house pictures for the interested masses... I'm pretty excited.

The living room (check out the not-so-awesome sliding blinds and the fabulous table that Jonathan's brother designed and constructed):













The view from our little deck (a very small creek and a wooded nature preserve):













The kitchen! I love the fixtures. This is just a part of it - there's room for a table too:












The (big!) bathroom:













The bedroom... which is pretty much exactly like the office, except that the walls have some color here. What you can't see is the closet with the big mirrored sliding doors.










So that's the place! I'll give you another tour in a few months when we're both living there and things are up on the walls and everything. Okay.

To conclude this erratic post, the good news of today: I have a thesis committee!
