<\/a>— 1 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Ziva leaves NCIS.<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 2 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Orphans.<\/strong> Do you see these three sweet peas?<\/p>\n First row: Brett<\/a> and Iris<\/a>. Brett<\/a> still needs a mama. Iris<\/a> finally has a family committed to her. Kaia<\/a> 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<\/a> pages.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 3 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n A benefit to singing.<\/strong> According to CNN<\/a>, choir singers’ hearts beat as one<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 4 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Prerequisite baseball take.<\/strong> 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!<\/p>\n The All-Star Game is this weekend. Why yes, I will be annoyingly tweeting the entire game. \ud83d\ude42 (Those who follow me on Twitter might want want to unfollow me temporarily.) Go NL!<\/p>\n <\/a>— 5 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Daniel’s ABA therapy.<\/strong> 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. \ud83d\ude42 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.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 6 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Stop hating on millenials.<\/strong> If you haven’t read this<\/a>, surf on over and do so. (Please surf back though.) It’s fascinating and I love how the author communicated his message.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 7 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n For those who missed it…<\/strong> This is the zucchini of light<\/a> from last week:<\/p>\n For more Quick Takes, visit Jen at ConversionDiary.Com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" — 1 — Ziva leaves NCIS.
