begging works

also, the james that currently lives in calgary (not the one that's from calgary) will now be referred to as iJames, for clarification and iClub reasons.

thanks for the comments, kids. i was feeling unlov-ed.

yesterday babysitting went well. thank you james and yvonne. we didn't get around to making cookies, but i may do that later today. we did watch part of monsters inc., spiderman the cartoon, some wallace and grommit, and jeopardy (james told oliver that there was a magic show at the end, but i started to feel bad for him after about 10 mins). we played a game that involved marbles... i think it was a bit like frustration. and i made jell-o earlier in the day, so when i asked oliver if he wanted some, he was all over it. after he ate some he told me that jell-o always makes his tummy hurt.

there were no tears, some horseplay, a decent amount of laughing and only a bit of mess. i'm going to call it a success. whoo hoo!

we're not allowed to do laundry or use dishwashers at my apartment right now. because one of the two hot water tanks is broken. i get the laundry, but i think that dishwashers are better to use than hand washing. less hot water is use... isn't it? i don't have much along the lines of clean clothes, so i'm either going to have to go to a laundromat soon or buy some clothes. do you think it counts if i wash stuff in a sink or bathtub?
