my package from overstock arrived today. i was flabbergasted. i am most humored by the fact that they have absolutely no idea where it is and are still looking for it. they’re not impressing me or making me want to order from them again.

tonight, joe and i had our monthly pizza party at the local children’s shelter. the pizza party is something our kiwanis club sponsors, but joe and i usually are the only ones who go. i don’t know why no one else shows up, because this is by far the best activity we do. i had the most fun tonight because we really got to interact more with the kids. instead of hanging out inside and watching tv, they were outside playing, so we played with them. joe tossed a nerf football around with one of the boys, while i played tag with one of the girls and then pushed about five kids on the swings. i was quite the popular one. everyone wanted to be pushed! i must say, i got quite a workout running around, lifting kids up into the swings, which they insisted i make higher, and going back and forth from one end of the swingset to the other pushing kids. it was great!
what’s more important is that the kids have a lot of fun when we come. not only do we bring them pizza (what kid *doesn’t* like pizza?!), but we hang out with them and give them some much-needed attention. i can’t wait until next month!
