This week is Creekwalk Week. Go get your feet wet in a Yellow River tributary, because that's what I did on Tuesday.Topic 1) Little Ones, Leaders, and Lilburn Day Camp - By Me
Ok, so all this week I've been working (er, volunteering) with an "interesting" group of 11-year-olds. I thought these kids were crazy and I was gonna write about how annoying they are, but I've come to realize that the adults of the Girl Scouting world are crazier than the kids. One of the leaders I've been working for feels most at peace when she runs around like a decapitated chicken. I'm very calm and patient when working with kids, and she's, well, not. At some points, I just wanted to shake her and let her know that not everything has to be explained five times over. I am old enough to make inferences here. And so are these kids who will be 6th graders in the fall. (Speaking of that, my sixth grade teachers were walking through the park where the camp is held on Thursday, and they still recognize me! How insane!) Oh, if you're wondering, the craziest thing that the kids do is play this "Big Booty" game constantly. It's actually a pretty cool game, and it has a good rhythm (it's kinda like the "Pony Game" but not quite), so I don't mind it. "Awww yeah, big booty, big booty, big booty...aww yeah..." All the kids wanna be the Big Booty. I'll have to teach it to y'all some time. (Hey, I can get leadership hours for that!)Topic 2) Val's Lunch: - By Valerie Craft
So, you want to know what I've had for lunch huh? I'll tell you - nothing but fast food! I've been in Savannah for the past week and practically all we ate was fast food - burgers, pizza, sea food. (On the coast it's practically the only thing they have.) Yes, you can get sick of fast food. I just want a nice normal home-cooked meal. Is that too much to ask for?!Topic 3) Feedback:
CAT-YOU ARE SO CRAZY!! MAY I SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR NEWSLETTER, THE LITTERBOX? THANKS FOR THE UPDATES. -ALEX
My response: Guess what, Alex? You have no other choice. You're a subscriber till I run out of dumb ideas. No turning back now!
Daniel says, "hehe nice newsletter"
My response: hehe I hope so heheTopic 4) Cat's Song of the Week:
"Extra Ordinary" by Better Than Ezra. It's an awesome song--a lot better than what I've been singing with my girls at Day Camp all week. Listen to it at www.pickthehits.com in the rock/alt section. You won't regret it!Topic 5) Webpage of the Week:
http://www.oocities.org/thevoideditor As well as being The Void's site, this also has Jay Newsletter archives, so you can see where I got the idea for my Litterbox. (And you can see how much better the other newsletter are...)Topic 6) Quote of the Week:
"When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet; when toast is dropped, it always lands with the buttered side down. I propose to strap buttered toast to the back of a cat; the two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York and Chicago." - someoneClosing: I'd like to thank you all for the positive (in most cases) feedback. (I didn't print everything, because I erased some of it. Accidentally, I swear!) And thanks to Val for my first article submission. And I'd like to thank the Academy for...wait, that's not right...ergh.
