* The Bachelor finale is taking forever to download. Three hours in and it's only at 32%!!! Do you know how difficult it is for me to avoid Instagram and Facebook all day?! Perhaps I should risk the spoilers and give in to my social media urge.......
* Have you heard of Feedly? It's up there with my most favourite apps of all time - letting me know when my most favourite blogs have new posts! No more time wasted checking each blog individually.....they are all stream-lined by this one ULTRA-EFFICIENT APP! (And I can thank a really good professional development session for that one!)
* In other app news, blogging from my phone has it's challenges. I haven't used my computer to check my blog in a few days. It annoys the heck out of me that the picture in the last post wasn't centered the way my blogger app said it was! UGHHHH. Oh well. It's since been fixed to my liking :)
* Next week we are dissecting a sheep's heart in class. The kids are going CRAZY about it, in a good way (for the most part!). I can't wait to see their faces and watch their eyes light up with curiosity and intrigue! (Or so I hope the scenario goes.....)
* Nory got her first real "boo boo" today - a fat lip. When I got home from work, Kumari was all teary-eyed and nervous. She told me that "there was a problem with Nory". Judging by her body language, I thought something WAY WORSE had happened to my little darling. But, nope! Nory fell face-first on a toy and smashed her bottom lip (which didn't stop her from giving me the HUGEST AFTER-WORK SMILE!). Then I realized that Kumari was petrified that I was going to fire her on the spot. I told her it was okay and I also told her a few stories of things that have happened to Nory while she was in MY CARE. It didn't seem to help that much....I felt like she was going to burst into tears at any moment. Oh Kumari. Nory is perfectly FINE - she was running around and giggling and smiley all evening! (P.S. Her balance has been a little rough this week. Perhaps a growth spurt is happening?!)
* It's back to t-shirt, skirt, and sandals weather in Kuwait! YIPPEE!!!
* Phil's got his work cut out for him over the next week and a half. This weekend the JV basketball team is participating in a tournament at our new school. Next week, the Varsity basketball team is participating in a tournament in Doha, Qatar. Nory and I will be in attendance at both events. YES! I am taking two personal days to travel to Doha with the team!!! Emily is too!!! I can't wait! The boys are thrilled to have Nory with them on the trip :)
* Tomorrow Nory is 13 months old. THIRTEEN!!!!!!! Figure that one out.
* Sometimes the silliest little things can make me feel EXTRA AT HOME here in Kuwait. Prime example? Advertisements on our beloved OSN network that they are picking up TLC! The premiere air date is March 24th! (Channel 212 people!!!!!) It's not even so much that I watch the shows on this station. It's simply a channel that I'm familiar with. Familiarity goes a long way when you're longing for HOME SWEET HOME :)
* I don't understand how an airplane can simply go missing. I don't usually have a fear of planes, but I just might have a mini-freakout before boarding one next Wednesday night. Sending prayers to everyone involved in the Malaysia Airlines tragedy....
* Cheers to being 7 hours away instead of 8, Ontario! I like when we're one hour closer together :) XO
