Kitten
Several weeks ago, David gave me this adorable little kitten:
Sara and I took him home to my parents' house the week before school started (That's where these pictures are from). Unfortunately, the parents weren't as bowled over by his unrivalled adorableness as one would expect. So, sadly, my little kitten went back to Ben and David's house, where he hopefully remains to this day (I say hopefully because Brandon keeps trying to claim the kittens for his little sisters. I am not sure if he has made off with them yet.).

I mentioned that charging the same fee for people in itty bitty little studios as in town homes seems a bit steep, but unfortunately I was unable to persuade them to charge me less. So I am now faced with a dilemma: can I afford $25 a month for my little baby? I am getting a job at Ford Dining Court, so hopefully the answer will be "yes". I hope to take the kitten home over Labor Day weekend.
I am also faced with another dilemma: What to name the kitten? I really wanted to name her Ginger, but I have since found out that she is a he, and that name sounds a little feminine. Sara and I have been calling him Pumpkin, but I am open to cuter suggestions if anyone has any.

Camp Lunch
Most of you, my dear readers, know that I am working as a lifeguard at the Riviera Club this summer. While my job mostly consists of sitting in a chair watching the pool, I occasionally get more interesting tasks. One of my favorite jobs is camp lunch. Every day, two lifeguards get to have lunch with the camp kids so the camp counselors can take a much needed break. Today, I was one of the two privileged guards.
I was thoroughly enjoying conversing with the children on interesting topics, such as what I should name my seven children, when one of my favorite little girls asked what day it was. I said that it was the first day of August, which is very exciting because my birthday is in August. We then began discussing what I should do for my birthday. It was fairly unanimous that I should have a pajama party. Allie, a little girl who draws me a picture every day, told me that if I invited her to my birthday party, she would buy me a vacuum cleaner. I guess that's what little girls think that grown-ups want. I told her that I would love to have a vacuum cleaner, but that vacuum cleaners cost a lot of money. She wasn't fazed. "I know, but I have a lot of dollars and quarters in my piggy bank," she explained. I just wanted to hug her. I knew that if she could, she would take every one of her dollars and quarters and buy me a vacuum cleaner. I'm going to miss these kids so much when school starts.
