I love my job.

How freakin' cute is this kid? His name is Endy.

The Best Mac & Cheese Ever

Evanna invited me over for awesome Mac and Cheese.

We went downtown and got ice cream.











Then we played Sing Star and watched So I married an Axe Murderer.

King School

I am tutoring at King School's Saturday Program. It just happens to be in the not-so-good part of Portland. The kids were awesome and smart...but very distracted/hyper/jaded.

I am oddly excited to go back.

I did not accomplish much....I did however explain to my kid what the word regurgitate means.

Yay! This is why I am not meant to be a teacher.














These are my doodles. I can't listen properly without doing this. It's a horrible thing...people think I am NOT listening.

Long Day

Today was long. Kinda short long though, with periods of medium.

I am currently watching my favorite show...not of all time but of right now.
















Questions I ask myself daily:

Why do I have a crush on Tom Hanks?

Why is Myspace the devil? (They won't let me delete my account)

What is the deal with hang nails?

Why do I randomly want to be a doctor?


Things I am certain of:

Joanna = agnostic

Joanna = forgetful

Joanna + Powell's + Movie = A very good day

Oh Lordy

I get roped into this madness every week. Yikes.














This is me being confused.












Paula is drunk.

Gone Gone Gone

I miss my relatives. Sure I was exhausted at the end of the day, but they are so much fun.

They should be returning this summer.

Zoe is my cousin. I love her dearly. She found my photo booth program...

Love

The number of people snoring in the house right now is astonishing.

Oh, how I love a full house...and Full House.

School

I am a student. Portland State University is my home. I enjoy it.

I still believe I am a fraud, an impostor. I have yet to be proven right. I guess that's a good thing.

Family Talk

My Grandma and Mother are talking about shorty shorts. Funny, but disturbing.

We just happen to be watching American Idol.

I don't know whether to run out of the room screaming or sit in front of the screen drooling.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Hey, I'm 80 years old...who gives a shit!" Courtesy of my Grandma.

QUOTE OF THE DAY #2
Laura says: "Alcohol was introduced to the Indians by the white man."

Grandma retorts: "Alcohol was introduced to me by a white man."

I love you Grandma.

If I were ever to shoot you...

I find this endlessly awesome.

Relatives

My relatives are visiting. I will add more pictures later...

BUT here is my Grandma. She is unique.










This is my brother.
