* How embarrassing is it to get a spontaneously massive nose bleed at a Thai restaurant - ruining their beautiful white linens and frightening the people around you? PRETTY EMBARRASSING. I found that out a few weeks ago, but "forgot" to share. The restaurant's washroom was across the room, down a flight of stairs and in a freaky basement. I tried to get there ASAP and after I had cleaned up, I returned to our table where a giant bag of ice had been left for me.....along with disposable napkins. WEIRD, yet FUNNY.
* We are absolutely OLYMPIC CRAZY in this house!!! As soon as we wake up each morning, we turn on the television and we plan our day around the events that we MUST see LIVE. We are SO LUCKY to have the summer off! Imagine - our life revolves around SPORTS COVERAGE! (P.S. WAY TO GO TEAM CANADA!!!!)
* Did Snoop Dogg really change his name to Snoop Lion? That's strange.
* Have you ever heard of a frozen yogurt place called "Yogurty's"??? A location just opened in the Beaches and we checked it out last night. IT'S SO GOOD!!!!!!!! Kuwait folks - think "Pinkberry" 2.0! You can choose from amazing flavours (even peanut butter!) and the topping selection is endless. Captain Crunch cereal? Lucky Charms? Cinnamon Toast Crunch? Mini peanut butter cups? LARGE peanut butter cups? Reese's Pieces??! Ahhhh! Of course, the only one of us that took FULL ADVANTAGE of the selection was Phillip. I kept things minimal with strawberry fro-yo and a couple of mini peanut butter cups!
* Yesterday I set out on a serious mission to get a hair cut. I think we stopped by FIVE places. Oddly, two were closed for "unforeseen circumstances", one was closed for "renovations" and the other two said "OPEN" but remained LOCKED SHUT! Hmmmm......is a higher power telling me to keep these locks long? Cuz they are truly dying for a trim!!!!
* Have you seen that new McDonald's commercial? For some Bistro chicken or something? Well, it's DARN catchy and every time it comes on, we feel the need to get our groove on. McDonald's has OFFICIALLY done something "HEALTHY" by encouraging dance via advert! HOORAY!
* Is it REALLY August? REALLY?! WOWZERS!!!! Summer always seems to fly by faster than any other time of year. I have to admit though - we DO REALLY MISS Kuwait in some ways. We miss our apartment. Our massive bed. Our Kuwait family. Phil misses basketball like crazy. And I'm getting a little anxious to get back into unit planning. I have some good ideas going on!
Speaking of school, this afternoon we are headed out to a book store (inshallah!) to find myself some storybooks that I intend to use in my lessons this year. I love the combination of picture books and SCIENCE!!! The kids seem to too.
Keep working your inner OLYMPIC cheerleader, eh?! And ENJOY today's coverage!!!!
XOXO
