* I had full intentions of playing "statue" on the couch all morning long yesterday. Especially since I was awake at 5:30. Well, something kicked me into full gear (not sure what!) and I ended up having a very productive morning! I went on the treadmill, lifted weights, baked muffins, did the dishes, hung up some laundry, altered the look on the blog, wrote some friends................(THREE CHEERS FOR SPONTANEOUS MOTIVATION!!!!)
* I'm up to a total of THREE warm beverages during this pregnancy. All three of them were decaf hot chocolate's with mini marshmallows. This is a big FEAT for someone who recently heaves at the thought.
* We loved the first episode of the X-Factor on Thursday night. I was screaming when Britney was introduced, just like the thousands of other people in attendance! Haha, she seems to be the big draw to the show this year - with the producers highlighting her presence and remarks! P.S. In reference to her critiques, she's not THAT innocent!
* Yesterday Phil got a call to "play outside" (this may not sound strange to you, but if you saw what our "outside" looked like, you'd understand). His very first game of "catch" (in Kuwait!) ensued. He returned from the outing with the biggest grin on his face! And then he got suited up for 2 hours of pick-up basketball. What a SPORTS DAY!!!!
* Never, ever should you use the word "shot" over "photographed". Example: Starting a sentence in the following way, "Kate Middleton was shot....." It is much more clever (and kind to your listeners) to say, "Kate Middleton was photographed...." Lesson learned, by MOI!
* Yesterday afternoon I tutored a family for my first time this year. When I saw the platter of beverages and snacks coming my way, my heart started to flutter and I remembered why I keep going back (besides the fact that they are complete SWEETHEARTS): veggie sandwiches with NO CRUST! Ahhhhh - let's face it - NOBODY LIKES THE CRUST! We just eat it because we're told we should or we need to. But, really, if we could buy crustless bread - you KNOW you'd be SOLD! YUM, YUM! I hope they need me again soon! Haha :)
* Phil is CONVINCED that traveling over Christmas is a horrible idea (due to the baby). I've had to promise that I won't ask to go ANYWHERE in December if he takes me somewhere on Eid holiday in October (which is a holiday that he hates to travel on). So, I think a few days in Oman is in the works, as well as Christmas in Kuwait. Luckily, we have some friends that might also be staying for the holiday season! And this DOES give me a reason to purchase more CHRISTMAS-Y things for the house........
* Heather and Emily came over last night for homemade pizza and X-factor, episode TWO! These two were over earlier in the week and they seem to be starting a silly pattern: SPOILING US WITH EVERY VISIT! Last time they brought gifts and this time they did too! Emily brought Phil his belated birthday gift (which included an NFL onesie for Baby P) and Heather found two of the sweetest Winnie the Pooh outfits that come complete with tiny bloomers! Not just that, but Heather played TOP CHEF in the kitchen - making us homemade pizza dough! THANK YOU EMILY and HEATHER!!!! We really enjoyed your visit and all the LOVE! But SERIOUSLY - STOP SPOILING US!!!!!!!!!
Today we plan to get caught up on our tv shows and pick up some groceries. This afternoon we are heading into school - Phil is coaching two basketball games and I am going to hide out in my classroom and play catch-up/get ready for the week ahead!
Wishing you a HAPPY and RELAXING Saturday!!!
XOXO
