Engine Engine Number Nine, on the New York Transit Line

* Is there a way that this thing can tell you when you have new comments? Like on your dashboard or something? I still don't "get" blogger very well yet. * I totally have racoon tan lines from my week at the beach. Although, the plus side of the situation is, I actually got tan! I know it sounds bizarre but ever since I had Isaac I just don't tan anymore. Is that even possible that pregnancy could change something like that? Kind of like how I was a 6-6.5 shoe size before pregnancy and now I am more like a 7-7.5. I think it is partially because I don't have the time to lay around in the yard sunning myself like I did in high school. I tried tanning beds a few years ago, because I used to go to tanning salons and bake myself dark brown in college but still never really got any color. Then I ran out of money and my dad got skin cancer which made me reconsider tanning beds. I figured I was destined to be hideously pale from here on out, so it was a pleasant surprise that I actually got some color on the beach. * Isaac did great at the beach. He did get a little homesick for "the blue house" but overall I think he really enjoyed himself. It was a nice relaxing family vacation spent napping on the beach, biking around the island and watching the Olympics. I will post some pictures when I figure out where my dad's camera is. * We drove all the way back to Camden Saturday night for the Counting Crows concert. It was awesome, as expected. They toured with Maroon 5, who I have never been very interested in before, but they put on a great show and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the lead singer jump around in his tight pants and shirt. I will definitely check out some of their music now. We had pretty good seats, and we ended up next to this happy drunk John and his coworker Amanda. John was a hardcore Counting Crows fan as well. We ended up dancing and singing together. This guy was a chubby white guy in his early thirties who had no problems busting out ridiculous and entertaining dance moves. It was really fun. He played a lot of the crowd favorites (Mr. Jones, Murder of One) and kept the new album stuff to a minimum which I thought was a wise choice. He closed on Walkaways which I don't think I have ever heard live before. I think that is the 8th time I have seen Counting Crows. Summer's is not summer without a Counting Crows show. * I also drove back home on Monday, for a one o'clock job interview for an autistic support teacher in a local school district. The initial interview went very well. I had a follow-up interview today which I think went all right. I am not as confident now as I was leaving the first one. But I think I was as prepared as I could be, and I can only sit and wait with bated breath. School starts in like a week, so if I don't get this, it looks like I will be doing more subbing. So keep your fingers crossed for me cause I really want/need this job. * Isaac is still on the sibling kick. My mom thinks he will stick with it for a while. This morning he asked if his friend Aleah could come over. I said sure (it has been on my to-do list to arrange a playdate for them anyways). He responded "I need her to be my sister. I don't have any sisters". I feel bad for him, he is always alone. However, I don't think the chances of him having a sibling are that good period, but definitely not anytime soon. Well that's all for now.
