Ziva leaves NCIS. Yep, it’s true. Cote de Pablo, the actress who plays Ziva David, is leaving the show after her character is wrapped up this fall. Ziva isn’t my favorite character so I’m not as bummed as I’d be if Abby (Pauley Perrette) but still kinda bummed nevertheless. I’m just wondering what will be done with her character and how they’ll tie that particular end up.
Orphans. Do you see these three sweet peas?
First row: Brett and Iris.
Second row: Kaia.
Brett still needs a mama. Iris finally has a family committed to her. Kaia has a family committed to her who will be traveling to her country to meet her on July 26th! Click on their names to see their Reece’s Rainbow pages.
A benefit to singing. According to CNN, choir singers’ hearts beat as one. It isn’t completely surprising to me — when you’re that focused on your breathing and modulation of tone, your body gets into it. The best choirs function as a unit rather than as individual singers, after all.
Prerequisite baseball take. My Giants are at the bottom of the NL West. The freaking DODGERS are doing better and this is a fact that has not gone unmentioned by the fan of said team to whom I am wed. C’mon boys! Knock off the Padres tonight!
The All-Star Game is this weekend. Why yes, I will be annoyingly tweeting the entire game. 🙂 (Those who follow me on Twitter might want want to unfollow me temporarily.) Go NL!
Daniel’s ABA therapy. We’re back on track with ABA therapy for Daniel. He has established that he’ll work for tickles and he’ll try to get those tickles for free if he can. 🙂 It’s too bad his lead consultant is quitting next week because he loves her tickling him. We’re working on getting rapport built up with his normal tutor right now and I think he (the tutor) will do well once he and Daniel are used to each other.
Stop hating on millenials. If you haven’t read this, surf on over and do so. (Please surf back though.) It’s fascinating and I love how the author communicated his message.
For those who missed it… This is the zucchini of light from last week:

LOVE the Millenial article! TY I hate all those posts that go around about how we’re all crazy and lazy. It’s NOT HELPING THE CAUSE!!
Awesome Zuccinni!
Just noticed you have a 3rd Reece’s Rainbow child 🙂 cool! Love how you post about them every week.
That stop hating on millennials cartoon was brilliant! Thanks for sharing that!
Yes, Millenials did not cause ALL THE PROBLEMS, but it’s easy to point at us and say, “In MY day…” disapprovingly.
My cousin named her dog Ziva. I never watched the show but apparently she has a fan club!
1. Good. Maybe once again I’ll be able to watch NCIS without tearing my hair out at Ziva. It only took what, 8 years?
3. That reminds me of a short story by Orson Scott Card, that has people breathe in unison… Not a pretty outcome.

I dunno; I’ve got two millenials in my family and another in my husband’s family (I just squeeked into GenX), and there is definitely a generational gap between us. I realize Millenials have gotten a bad rap, in part to bad circumstances, but I also think there is a lot of pie in the sky idealism (let me just wait for the perfect high-paying job to drop out of the sky into my lap, and then I’ll work…) Personally, I had to work a lot of terrible low-paying jobs in my 20s, and that is just part of the deal when you start out.
Just a penny for the pond.
I’m either a millenial or GenX depending on who you ask. (I was born in 1980.) Working a crap job is part of getting work experience when you’re starting out in your 20’s but millenials also got handed a crappy economy.
Yet they expect to be paid the same freshly out of college as people with experience. Had a lot of awful hiring experiences with members of my own generation. 🙁
So, are millenials what used to be called generation y? (I would be known as generation x.) These categories always seemed so weird to me. Who comes up with this stuff?
I have no idea who comes up with the criteria.
