* It's my FOURTH year in the middle east and I have JUST realized how much I LOVE dates. I started to eat them as an after school snack at the tutee's house and we purchased some yesterday to have with tea at home. Mmmmmm mmmm mmm! DELISH! My reviews have been so good that even Phil tried one! <------- This is a big deal, as he's a plain jane when it comes to food!
* Last night we watched the movie "Contagion" and it has inspired me to wash my hands ALL DAY LONG today. In fact, half way through the movie I had to grab the Dettol (to which Phillip responded "you're being ridiculous")! Baha. It was an okay film, but what's with the ending? Before we knew it, the credits were rolling and many outcomes were left untold. I guess this leaves room for how I think each movie should end - "...and they all lived happily ever after"!
* This morning we watched the Oscars red carpet on repeat. It was 3 hours of WONDERFUL E! coverage with Giuliana looking absolutely STELLAR. I'm trying to Youtube some of the acceptance speeches now, as the actual show was not aired on any of our networks.
* Another delightful part of our Monday was a phone call with Dana doodle! She was up late after a grand attempt to watch intermittent Oscar coverage in a snowstorm. I wonder how much she'll miss that weather next year in the Philippines?! Fingers crossed she never has to experience an earthquake....
Well, today is our last day of the four day weekend. It was a PERFECT, RELAXING holiday and we feel refreshed and ready to go for school tomorrow. A busy March awaits us with science fair, track and field, and two basketball tournaments. The first tournament is next weekend for the junior varsity team. I can't wait to cheer on Phil and the boys for three days straight!
Missing all of you back home!
XOXO
I loved Michelle in her tangerine tango chiffon dress and pink clutch. Darling. Mama xo
