Really?!

In bed and FINALLY ready to watch X Factor...

Phil: Oh - I better go shut it down out there in case we don't go back out.

Lindsay: WHAT?!!

My sweet Phillip. What on earth does "shutting it down" entail?! Haha.

So much for "tidying up"!

"Things that make me smile......#5 - Seeing Phil's face when he comes home and finds the laundry finished, the dishes done, and the house ALL tidy! Oh - and then seeing his face when I tell him that we have 2 hours of X Factor ready to watch! He will be so happy :)"

Do you remember these words from a few hours ago? Well, right now I am laughing hysterically because Phillip is doing the following things:

1) emptying all the garbage cans in the house
2) rolling up random cords (mobile charger, computer cord, hair dryer, etc.)
3) re-straightening pillows that I previously "straightened"
4) aligning all of the earrings in my jewelery box
5) re-stocking the food cupboard with food from the storage closet
6) spraying bacteria/odour-killer in shoes
7) organizing the fridge
8) adding new cans of 7UP zero to the fridge
9) arranging picture frames on the bookshelf
10) crossing off days on the calender
11) putting away the dry dishes that I washed earlier

Oh - and these are ONLY the things that I am aware of. Who knows what he was up to when the neighbour stopped by! Did I tell you that the maid comes tomorrow afternoon?

Are you laughing now too?!!! What am I going to do with him?!

Click to WITNESS THE GREATNESS!

Nothing beats a new collection - especially one with fun colours called "Gettin' Miss Piggy With It" and "Fresh Frog of Bel Air"! I hope they have these colours when Em and I go to get our nails done this weekend!!!

Things that make me smile....

1) Walking with Cathy during the evenings.

2) The realization that a one-week holiday will be here in THREE WEEKS!

3) Visits from former students.

4) The adorable question "Miss, may we please colour the kitty?" on a worksheet about the scientific method. Haha, "sure, you may colour the kitty if you finish early!" SO CUTE.

5) Seeing Phil's face when he comes home and finds the laundry finished, the dishes done, and the house ALL tidy! Oh - and then seeing his face when I tell him that we have 2 hours of X Factor ready to watch! He will be so happy :)

An Unpleasant "Top Story".

I just went to People.com for my daily celeb check-in and was shocked to find out that Giuliana Rancic has been diagnosed with breast cancer. It seems to me like these diagnoses are happening much too often and I hope this month of awareness encourages women to stay active, eat well and get screened.

Thank goodness Giuliana has Bill. If you're fans of the Rancic's you know their bond can get them through ANYTHING.

Our Newest Purchase :)

Yesterday I went to the mall with the Huffho's and picked up our VERY FIRST coffee maker!!! We have never owned one before and so the whole idea of having one is (embarrassingly) exciting. Phil has read through the entire manual and we enjoyed our first cup of "hazelnut" flavoured coffee this morning. I can't wait to offer our guests tea OR coffee in the future! They will be shocked with the option!

Yahoo! We are in agreement that we are now adults in the most official sense of the term.

The Best Shoot Yet!

We just watched the most recent episode of America's Next Top Model. The episode was STELLAR from start to finish with a visit from M.J.'s sister Latoya AND the Kardashian's!!! How cool are these pictures?!!!!

"I'm Gonna Love You Through It" - Martina McBride

All I can say is this: HAVE KLEENEX NEARBY! I watched Ms. McBride perform this song on Good Morning America yesterday and it couldn't be more appropriate for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Take a listen! And don't forget about the KLEENEX!

HAKUNA MATATA!

Phil and I just got back from LION KING 3D! It was my first OFFICIAL 3D movie and I was lucky to have another beginner seated right beside me - EMILY! The Huffho's joined us on this oh-so-special occasion and you can only imagine what a theatre full of singing expats looks like at the local mall. HAHA. You would have loved the experience.

Well - it's Saturday night here in Kuwait and Phil and I are eager to indulge in our newly appointed "pizza night". For the last two Saturday's, we finished all of our work early, made personal pan pizzas, and watched tv shows til bedtime. I LOVE THIS TRADITION and I am pumped to have it continue forever :)

Enjoy your weekend, friends and family. Missing you as always!

And remember......"HAKUNA MATATA"!!!!!!!!!

We ADORE Drew Ryniewicz!!!!!!!

How come?

1) She comes from a family of adorable people.
2) She's ONLY 14! MY GOODNESS!
3) She loves the Biebs (and as Canadian's....we must respect that!).
4) She is ALWAYS smiling.
5) She's from a small town.

This is a video of her first audition on the X factor, although the performance she did at Simon's house is well worth looking up too! Ohhhhhhh, please let her make it to the live shows!!!
