Thursday Night:
While Phil was at basketball practice, I walked on the treadmill and tidied up the house. Emily came over for a sleepover (HOORAY!) and Pat and Kelly stopped by for a visit too! We enjoyed 'eating fresh' with Subway and critiquing all of the contestants on The X Factor. Emily and I wondered if 9 p.m. was a suitable time to fall asleep on a sleepover.........(it is, RIGHT?!).
Friday:
The three of us (Phil, Emily and I) were up pretty early. It was nice to chat, relax, eat breakfast and catch up. Phil opted out of our planned shopping excursion and stayed home to play catch, check sports, and do some laundry. Emily and I indulged in the sales at the mall - hitting the jackpot at Baby Gap (ohhhhhhh WAIT until you see what I got for Baby P!) and Bath and Body Works. At the latter establishment, we got several fall/winter-smelling candles that I've had going all weekend long! Oh! We also ran into C-TOTES while we were out! I haven't seen her since we returned to Kuwait!
In the afternoon, Phillip went to play basketball with Matt and I came home to relax. I had a nice visit with the Hussain's and then Kate came over to use the interweb and chill. Later in the day we had our 4th or 5th yoga class and it is clear that the instructor no longer sees us as "beginner's". What a workout!!!! I have some sore arms and legs today I tell ya! The worst part is that I couldn't even shower the sweat away because the water was out, so I had to attend dinner at Scot and Maria's rather sweaty and gross. Dinner was delish, however, and I don't think my smelly self ruined the evening! They even accepted our invitation to return to our flat for X Factor!
Saturday:
This morning we were up early to head out for a volleyball game. Ian is busy doing a course and so Phil was asked to fill-in for him at this morning's match. Although they lost, it was a great way to spend a couple of hours - with Steve, Emily, and Alex beside me in the cheer squad! When we got home, Phil and Steve watched some Sports Centre and I was EXTRA-LUCKY to Skype with my sissy Dana! It was SO NICE to hear her voice and see that Brazilian'ed hair of hers ;) (LOVE YOU, SIS)!
The boys headed out for another afternoon of ball (they just can't get enough!), so I hopped on the treadmill with my audio belt and Baby P enjoyed some more tunes. Kate stopped by during my walk to Skype some loved ones back home and the Hussain's brought me a BEAUTIFUL PINK-FLOWERING PLANT from the souq!!! (Thank you, Cathy and Shahid)!!!
Now, alone for (I THINK!) the first time all weekend, I have been folding clothes, doing dishes, emailing friends and family, and typing up my food diary to send to the dietician! Phil isn't expected home for another couple of hours and when he does get back, we are heading up for dinner with Matt, Kate and Steve!
BUSY, BUSY! And ODDLY BUSY. I mean - for being such an "anti-social" guy, my husband arranged TWO of our many SOCIAL EVENTS without me even knowing it! ;)
Inshallah, we have time to watch a show or two before bed tonight. Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, The Bachelor Canada, The Amazing Race, and Parenthood are all READY TO GO!!!!
Thinking of all of you back home with a smile! Enjoy this LONG weekend's festivities!
XOXO
