Team "D" Tuesday, Week #25

Our thoughts and prayers are with Japan. We hope yours are too.

Surprise!

I've already told you that my husband is the cutest. But I'm going to tell you again anyways:

Tonight Phil re-proposed to me to mark "ONE YEAR since we got engaged on Mount Kilimanjaro"! It was just like the real deal - down on one knee with my very precious ring and a really good speech :) You know what I said? YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhhh! I am so in love with him.

NEVER SAY NEVER!!!!

It seems that my Canadian comrade has made my life a little easier....

Female Student: (very excitedly) MISS!!!!! MISS!!!!!!! GUESS WHAT?!!!!!

Me: What?!!!! (thinking - students are NEVER this excited coming to chemistry class)

Female Student: JUSTIN BIEBER USES OUR SAME CHEMISTRY TEXTBOOK!!!! It was in his movie!!!

Group of Female Students: WE LOVE CHEMISTRY!!!!!!!!!

Me: Seriously?! I think I love the Biebs now, too.

Haha....I suppose Justin's right. An interest in chemistry? NEVER SAY NEVER!!!!!

Seasons REALLY DO EXIST!

Rain, hail, thunder, lightning, more run, some sun, more thunder, more rain.....

It's kind of fun to have "spring" in Kuwait! Puddles may not excite you that much, but they certainly still get us hyped up! Ah - there's nothing like a nice downpour in the middle east :)

WAY TO GO, BULLDOGS!

Phil's basketball team had a great tournament this past weekend! They competed hard against teams from Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Qatar - coming out with three wins and a fifth place finish! I am SO PROUD to be their BIGGEST FAN and I am even more proud to be the wife of the coach :)

GREAT SEASON, BOYS! I can't wait to cheer you on again next year!

Parkinson Update.

* The other night we had a full-on HAILSTORM in Kuwait!!! Can you believe it?! We woke up at 3 am to the fear of a bombing, but were happy to learn it was just massive chunks of hail hitting our windows.

* Phil's basketball team is in a tournament at our school this weekend. They had two games yesterday (1 win, 1 loss) and had two games today so far (also 1 win, 1 loss). The fun continues tomorrow as the playoffs begin!

* In TV news........American Idol was simply so-so this week. I actually fell asleep for the last two performances. The latest GLEE episode was SUPERB. That "Holly Holiday" really does add something special to the already-awesome cast! As for Private Practice and Grey's, are there new episodes this week?! We need our doctor fix! Survivor is on tonight.

* More pictures have gone up in the living room. It is so nice to have our own photos on the walls. It really makes our place feel "homey"!

Well, that's about all for us. What about you?

Love to Japan.

On Education.

After a long day at school....

Lindsay: (angrily) School is for BUMS!

Phil: (excitedly) HUNNIE! This is what I've been saying for YEARS! I'm so happy you finally agree with me!

(laughter)

Dear Barbie:

It may be your birthday, but you have a serious job to do today.

Thinking of you, Megan.

Love,

Lindsay and Phil

Career Con.

So - there are times when it's more fun to be a teacher and there are times when it is WAYYYYY more fun to be a student. Today was one of those days where being a student was the superior option. Today was SCIENCE FAIR DAY!

Pro's of Being a Student on Science Fair Day:

The day involves one science fair project - YOURS.
The amount of time you have to be coherent? 5 minutes, MAX.
How you feel at the end of the day? SUPER-DUPER!


Pro's of Being a Teacher on Science Fair Day:





I rest my case.

Team "D" Tuesday, Week #24

Lucky charms and wishful thinking won't make it go away.

We need to spread awareness. We need to educate. We need to research.

And we need funds to do these things!
