Current State of the Union (of Texas)

• Speedo has a new swimsuit called the LZR suit. Around 27 world records have been broken in it. I officially can NOT wait until the Olympics start. It's going to be the greatest swim meet I've ever seen. And the science in the suit makes me want to change my major and work on developing more suits like that.
  
• Jack's little brother Joseph is at Camp this week, and I'm his ride to and from it. It's actually really fun to get to hang out with him one on one, and he's a pretty cool little kid. He's really enjoying camp, and it's awesome getting to see his excitement about the things he gets to do there.
• I've been offered a walking stick bug from the Museum as a pet if I want it. They're the coolest bugs ever. They just pretend to be sticks for 12 hours of the day, shake when they walk, and even blow spit drops at you if you stare at them for too long. Plus, they're half-blind so they just hang out if you pick them up and hold them. They're cute too. The sad thing is, my mom doesn't want one in the house, so I can't get it until right before college. It's gonna be awesome.
• Work is great. I got to volunteer my neck to help create a strangulation scenario for the CSI camp. The rope marks that are on my neck are going to be part of the crime scene and the kids are going to have to make rope impressions to figure out which rope strangled me. It's pretty fun to get to do that to help kids learn.
• I miss Jack horribly, but he gets home Thursday night or Friday morning, and he'll be here for a week. I can't wait. We're going to an Astros game Sunday, and will hang out a lot next week.
• I spend all my time working, and when I get home I fall asleep pretty early. I rarely get online, which is why these posts have been few and far between.
• The Tudors is my favorite cable TV show, next to Psych, but I have to watch it on DVD because I don't get Showtime. I've been immersed in Tudor England for the past few days, and actually had a dream about being part of the court last night. I think I'm officially a nerd.
• I need to think of more interesting things to write about.
