O is for the Office

The Office was originally a British sitcom until it was brought to America in 2003. It was written by very accomplished writer Greg Daniels, veteran of shows such as, the Simpsons, Saturday Night Live and King of the hill. It is wildly successful and is currently in its sixth season.
Its about a branch in Scranton of a paper company called Dunder Mifflen. Its run by Michael Scott (Steve Carrel) who constantly makes jokes and cannot take his work seriously. Other members are Pam, (Jenna Fischer), Jim (John Krasinski) and Dwight (Rainn Wilson) and Ryan ( B.J. Novak), along with many others.
Its my favorite TV show and I watch it every night at 9 to 10.
Some of the best episodes are:
The one where Michael decides to start his own paper company which is called Michael Scott Paper Company, and he takes Pam and Ryan with him, to only come back in a few episodes.
When Pam and Jim get married.
When Michael runs over Meredith and has to take her to the hospital, bu when he gets there the doctor says that she has rabies. Michael then does a run for Rabies 'For the diasese thats already been cured' as Jim put it.
Those are just a few of the awesome episodes.

K is for Kelly

Kelly is my littel 9 year old sister. She was born a milenium baby, on March 16th 2000. I was two and a half when she was born. Its sort of weird because even though I was really little when she was born, I still remember it perfectly.
We were at the Grand River hospital after I had been taken care of by my Nana while my Mom and Dad were at the hospital. I only remember two main things from that day.
1. Me holding my sister for the first time and she pushed the button on my shirt that looked like a Sheep so it 'Bahhhhh'
2. Immediatly after that my Mom and Dad gave me a stuffy Panda that they said Kelly had brought with her from 'babyland'. That made me like her.

F is for Fergal

Okay, when I was on vacation in the Cayman Islands over Christmas break I had a great time. The island was really hot and the ocean was amazing, but everything turned for the better when I met a man named Fergal Quinn.
One night while we where eating dinner I said to the waiter how great the service was. I probably said it too loud cause the man at the table leaned over and said in a extremely thick Irish accent, 'While I agree, young sir!'
Then my family and him and his wife Denise had like a two and a half hour conversation. After I bit I stated , 'You know I'm Irish too.' That made them really excited so they asked, 'Oh where are you from,' and my Dad said, 'My Dad lived around Colona-Kilty.'
And of course they were from there too. And then we started talking about sports. Denise said that she was an avid golfer, and then I said so is our aunt. She asked who our aunt was and I said Dolores. And then she started grinning and she said Dolores Farnen, and I'm like yeah. They golf at the same club.
Then Fergal said that he was the better golfer and he said to me, 'Okay, Michael, ask me who won the first hole.' 'Who won the first hole?' 'Oh I did,' he said very pleased, 'Now ask me who won the last hole?' 'Who won?' 'Oh,Oh Michael I did. '
Then Denise said she won all the middle holes. It was really funny when we were there.
Then we got talking about jobs. He is an Irish millionaire. He first started large supermarket chain called superQuinn, he sold that and made a lot of money, was the head of the Irish post for two decades and is currently an Irish senator.
He said that he wanted to take me under his wing- which is a seriously good thing.
