* What is this "Candy Crush Saga" and why oh why is it polluting my Facebook newsfeed?!
* Michigan lost in the NCAA finals last night. BIG BUMMER. I would have secured an additional $200 for Nory's college fund if they had won! Thank goodness we have about 16 more NCAA pools to go before she packs up and leaves us...
* So - you're familiar with the on-going birth certificate, passport, and citizenship issue? Well the latest news is that we needed to get the Arabic birth certificate re-translated and this led to some illogical confusion about her date of birth being in 2003. Yes, we always knew she was wise beyond her years! In terms of the citizenship, the embassy predicts it will now take about one year. It's a little sad to think that Nory will be a citizen of NOWHERE during this time, so I've decided that she's a PERMANENT & FAVOURITE citizen of our HEARTS and that is the best citizenship one can attain. Little Girl, you BELONG TO US! XO
* Are my nailpolish days over? I had a mani/pedi last week and the bright pink polish lasted about FIVE minutes before I noticed some chipping. Phil's response was, "WELCOME TO MAMAHOOD!" I think he's right. And I don't mind the trade-off.
* Speaking of all things LOVE....I can't wait to watch "READY FOR LOVE" when it's available for us overseas folk tomorrow. A new reality show about finding your soulmate - hosted by the Rancic's - ohhhh it's going to be a GOODIE!
* Phil and I got our eyes tested the other day. The process is a little different here and we didn't even expect to get the tests done when we did. However we ran into a friend at the mall, who called a friend from the mall, who told us to get it done at one of several locations AT the mall! Weird, right?! You walk in to one of these vision places, try on designer glasses while you wait, have a cup of coffee that they bring to you, and then spend a lovely time with a really kind and understanding optometrist. Turns out Phil is basically blind and I am basically perfect (BAHA!). No - Phil REALLY does need to wear his glasses more often and requires a serious upgrade on his prescription. As for me, my vision started to go a little downhill during pregnancy and she says it's up to me whether I'd like to get glasses now or not. I think I will wait it out and cross my fingers for a miraculous recovery!
* Yesterday we went to a "Basketball Appreciation Day" hosted by one of the team's biggest fans. It was a great, three-hour event with lots of snacks, mini-competitions, scrimmages and a pizza party! The boys had a good time and I woke up this morning with some SORE MUSCLES! This leads me to believe that I should shoot a ball around more often...
