So, Joelle (my niece) came and stayed with me the last few days. She is now staying with grandma. I'm now poorer, pinker, and much more tired but I had a lot of fun!
Before her mom and dad left with the rest of the kids every one went swimming in the apartment pool.Then she went with me to FHE on monday because I had to present at our "career day." She was my little assistant and did a great job. She seemed really interested in what I do and what I like about my job. She was really shy and stuck really close to me but afterwards said she was glad we went and that she had a lot of fun. We stopped at "Big Spoon Yogurt" on the way home and Joelle got to try it out for the first time. Her yogurt looked disgusting, but she had fun staying up past her bed time and by the time she was in bed I was exhausted.
Tuesday We swam some more. Went to the store for some cookie ingredients. made the cookies. Watched a barbie princess movie a couple times that we got at the store monday. And ate food inbetween all of that.
Today Joelle really wanted to get her last fill of swimming. she was bummed about leaving because she really wanted to keep swimming every day. She was really good and let me sleep in till 930. She ate pop tarts for the second morning in a row. Then we went to the store to deposit a check and get Joelle some goggles. Then we swam for about an hour before going back to the apartment for some left over pizza and to watch "Mariposa" for the 4th time since we bought it. I think i can now recite that movie word for word :( ...Then we went back to the pool for another couple of hours before we had to come back to the apartment to pack Joelle's things because Grandma and Grandpa were on there way to pick her up.
I pretty much just laid around the house the rest of the day except to get some dinner from McDonalds. I'm so tired. I'm so not ready to be a mom. 2 1/2 days and I'm exhausted and she's easy!!!! My friend Kendall came over tonight to play Wii. He's been promising to come to one of my Wii parties for months now and he finally came and no one else showed. I felt kinda lame...Oh, well it was still fun. He tuned and played my guitar a bit too which is cool. Guess that's it for now. work the next 2 days. Lots of work in the near future so I can head to Utah here soonm :)

Sounds like you had fun..hey atleast swimming is a lot less expensive than many other possible pursiuits...and in regards to the movie...may I remind you of Annie and Raffi(I swear, I can STILL sing all of those songs =})...LOL!
What a great thing, to be one of those cool aunts, that your nieces look up to.
