* This morning we made some "Pillsbury tea biscuits" to go with our 10 a.m. tea! Not only were they delicious with butter and jam, but that sweet popping sound that goes along with all Pillsbury products just NEVER gets old! Ah - memories of home :)
* The dog that I wanted to adopt (remember Cutie?!) got adopted. Sadly, so did her two sisters. I suppose I can leave Phil alone until another adorable puppy catches my eye....
* Speaking of pets, Emily and I may become volunteers at a local animal shelter! They have a training session next Saturday and if we're feeling up for it, it may become another item on the calendar! Once you're a volunteer, you can participate as you like in cool events like "dog and cat socializing" or "photographing animals up for adoption". Sounds like fun, don't you think?!
* I have been sick with a bad cold all week long. It has been incredibly stubborn and refuses to leave me alone. Luckily, I get to spend the entire day on the couch, watching new tv shows and movies that we purchased from the movie man last night!
* Where did the old Simon Cowell go? We have only watched one episode of The X Factor but it appears like he's grown a little softer in his old age! I like it. It's nice to see a different, more encouraging side of him :)
* HAPPY FIRST DAY OF FALL!!!! I bet it is beginning to look pretty at home and I hope you get to enjoy many walks outside before the snow comes. Oh - and with Thanksgiving approaching us, you will be happy to hear that I found pumpkin pie filling at the grocery store last weekend! I purchased two cans, just in case I didn't see it again in October!
* Phil is doing an amazing job as the club coordinator at school. Organization is his specialty and the first session ran beautifully! (Congratulations my LOVE!) I had a lot of fun during my "Running Wild" club - 13 students from grades 5 and 6 were in attendance! I hope they can learn to enjoy running through the activities I plan in the next 8 weeks!
* Stolen pencil cases are the worst. I had three students close to tears yesterday afternoon. Indirectly, they had one teacher close to tears too! :)
* Phil finally picked out a birthday present! He was extremely stubborn (sound like him?!) for his REAL birthday, which he only referred to as his "un-birthday". But, with his un-birthday far behind him, he selected something special at the store last weekend. What, you ask? A George Foreman. I don't really see the excitement in it, but the neighbours are jealous and Phil seems pumped for show and tell with each and every knock on the door. Haha. He's cute.
Well...that's all for now! Grey's Anatomy is the next show on the agenda today. Glee, Survivor, Parenthood and the X- Factor are also booked into the itinerary.
