Just one of the many reasons I love my job:

Vinny: Carolyn, my parents have a lot of money.

Me: Oh really? How you do know that?

Vinny: Well, my mom's been to the bank about a million times to get money, and she hasn't run out yet!

My husband:

Yesterday marked the hottest day in L.A.'s recorded history: 113 degrees!

In Whittier, it was 111 degrees, but Sean was thankfully ensconced in Biola's air conditioned library and didn't melt or anything like that.

Lucky for me, I was in Manhattan Beach working for the day, and although it was in the mid 90's there, we still had the benefit of a lovely ocean breeze, which made the high temperatures more bearable.

I worked late last night, and didn't leave the Costa's house until 9:45. Sean called me when I was almost home and asked me if I wanted him to meet me outside, so I said sure, but when I pulled up, he was nowhere to be seen. I was a little annoyed--thinking to myself, "Well, you shouldn't have offered if you were just going to forget..." Then all of the sudden, a man wearing only a t-shirt and boxers and carrying a cup of water steps out from the shadows of our neighbor's yard and says, "Would you care for something cool to drink?" Thankfully, that man was my husband or I would've been enormously frightened. At the same time, I'm not sure how thankful I am that my husband is prancing around in his underwear in our neighbor's yard in the dark of night. Hmmm. Well, one thing is certain: Life with Sean is never boring! (And for that I am thankful!)

Thursday, September 23rd, 5:21 p.m.

This morning I made blackberry pancakes for Sean while he worked on homework for his Roman Catholic Theology class. This afternoon he gave his presentation on the Nature of the Church in class, and I am sitting at home, still in my pajamas but also in my freshly cleaned house, waiting to hear how it went.
