What's been going on lately:
On Saturday the City Parks and Rec Dept hosted "Holiday in the Park." At the rec center where I work, they had bingo, arts and crafts, and snacks. When the kids first got there they each received 2 tickets. If they got bingo they turned in a ticket and received a prize; therefore, the kids had a chance at winning 2 prizes. And, they played until everyone got at least one prize. Chinyere won a CD player, and my little cousins won a plug in video game, a twister game, and an electronic game of "Simon says." Also, the community dance team, which CC is a part of, performed between bingo games. They were super cute and did really well. My mom came and video taped the dances.

I've started to hang out with Aimer again. We went to dinner (tex-mex) on Tuesday. By the time our food came out we were pretty stuffed from eating all the chips and salsa. Saturday night we hung out with his friends at Jose's and then Zach's. Later we stopped by his place. Their dog (a pit bull) recently had puppies and they're adorable. One of the pups has a heart shaped patch on its rear, and so they named it Valentine.

Today, I saw an old friend from high school named Annette. She went to college at Reed which is in Oregon. It was really nice to see her especially because she went far away to college and has a similar mindset about wanting to venture outside her little circle.
