IF YOU WERE HERE FOR TEA.

* Last night we made pizza for dinner! I think it was the perfect date :)

* Season 1 of "The Big C" is complete. LOVE IT. Season 1 of "Parenthood" is ALMOST complete. LOVE IT TOO. As for "The Bachelorette" / re-runs of "The Bachelor".....we're hooked. I think we have an obsession with reality tv. And I'm okay with that.

* Yesterday I went with Pat to get my nails done. I selected "ROMEO & JOLIET" for both my fingers and my toes. It is a dark brown and shimmery colour that says "don't mess with me" and "I'm lots of fun" at the same time. I feel it is appropriate for the remaining weeks of school. Speaking of which, we only have one teaching day left and then exams!!!! (Side note: I had an AMAZING week at school with my students. This week they were ALL-STARS and I've decided the goodbyes will be tougher than originally predicted!)

* On Thursday night, we went for a very nice dinner at the Sahara Kuwait Resort. The view of the golf course was beautiful and the meal itself was DELICIOUS!!!! As for the company? Also good!

* Next year we will have to pack more Ombrelle in the suitcase. I really thought we went a little overboard with the sunscreen purchase last summer, but it turns out we only have a smidgen left! Good thing the extreme heat has restricted our outings to "indoor activities". In the summer, we will be sure to go even MORE overboard for our second year in Kuwait!

* I GOT MAIL!!!! Thank you JAZZ for your postcard from BARBADOS!!!! It was a great surprise on a Thursday afternoon! LOVE YOU!!!!!!! xoxoxoxooxoxox

* Kelly and Pat downloaded a bunch of James Durbin off iTunes. We quite enjoy driving around and singing along with our favourite Idol :)

* People keep talking about the temperature here (which has been in the low 50's this week). I agree that it is hot, but I still enjoy my first step outside in the morning and I sometimes go outside during the day to better appreciate the AC. The warm air completely blankets you and I LOVE IT. I hope I don't freeze back home this summer! I hear the weather is supposed to be HOT and HUMID :) YAHOO!!!!!

* Today we must do some grocery shopping (fingers crossed for "my cereal" and vanilla tea!), tutoring, and then some tidying up! We may even go and adopt a puppy named CHESTER :) (<------ this is me playing pretend. There is no way this event is happening today. Phil has made himself very clear.)

How was your tea my dear?
XOXO
