HAPPY ANNIVERSARY WILLIAM & KATE!

Here's to many more years of love, happiness........and really cute photo's!  LOVE THEM.

IF YOU WERE HERE FOR TEA.

*  It happened.  Blogger has OFFICIALLY changed and I've spent the morning trying to navigate the new interface.  If Facebook changes on me today too, I might have to quit social media.  BAHA.  I'm lying.  But you get my point ;)

*  EMILY got a wee little KITTEN!  His name is LOOMI.  He is ADORBS.  Inshallah, I will meet him today :)

*  In sadder news, my Dad told me that our family cat, Mush, passed away this week.  He proceeded to tell me about our family dog, Coco, missing her feisty feline buddy.  It's not nice.  I cried.  But SOME of us.....with cat allergies.......have different feelings about it.  About THIS bullet point and the previous one.  I wonder who that could be......

*  Today I have the joy of saying, "LESS THAN two months until we are HOME, HOME!!"  On June 27th we are flying into Toronto :)  HIP, HIP!

*  This week we watched the U14 boys play their first volleyball match.  There are a few grade 6's on the team and one in particular who is subbed in strictly for serving the ball.  And he does it overhand.  And it's AWESOME.  And I may or may not have been tearing up on the sidelines - so SUPER PROUD to be his teacher!!!

*  Congratulations to our darling AIMEE M. for securing a sweet job in the Yukon this summer!  Oh - she's also going to be an AUNT for the first time this fall!  YIPPEE!

*  This current moment marks my FOURTH time watching the E! True Hollywood story about Britney Spears.  I suppose I'm hoping for something different, but the same disappointing clips keep rolling.  Thankfully, they will have to update the program once she becomes an OFFICIAL judge on the X Factor!!!  Ohhhh that is one rumour that I hope is TRUE! 

*  I've been having weird dreams lately.  Last night's wonky one included a really bad student named "Grisham" who had about 10 iPhones that I was panicking to confiscate.  I wonder what that means....haha.

Hmmm....there's really not too much else to tell you!  It was a going to work, staying to do more work, going to bed early kind of week!

Hoping your weekend is a HAPPY ONE!
XOXO

That's BETTER.

Phillip is HOME and I am SO HAPPY! Well, he's not actually home NOW because he's at basketball practice, but he's in the same country. And that I can handle ;)

Since I'm unsure of his blogging intent, I will share with you what I know:

* he had a great time with Steve (his assistant coach) and Will (a rival coach)
* he visited the acropolis and the old olympic stadium
* he made LOTS and LOTS of notes about basketball
* he was very impressed with how organized everything was
* he met a new friend named Dave
* he couldn't stop thinking about his beautiful wife (I think that's true, right hun?)

Haha. Anyways, he's talking about going again next year OR going to a P.E. conference in Tunisia. I'm okay with either. Especially if he comes home with another LINKS OF LONDON present for me :) (I LOVE YOU DARLING! THANK YOU!!!!!)

Well, back to our routines we go. I'm headed for the kitchen to make Phil a dinner with LOTS OF VEGETABLES. I imagine they come second on his "what I missed most" list. BAHA.

It's PHILLIP EVE!

And I'm bouncing off the walls.

I can't stop smiling.

And giggling.

And looking at the clock!

HURRY UP 4 o'clock's!!!! I want my baby back, baby back, baby back......

Haha. Enough. Off to continue my other love affair. The one I have with the REAL HOUSEWIVES of NYC. (Confession - season two is downloading this very moment).

GOODNIGHT Y'ALL!!!!

Best Job | P&G London 2012 Olympic Games Film

Compliments of one of the BEST MAMA'S in this world.

Grab some Kleenex before pressing "PLAY".



Eeeee!!!! The Olympics are almost HERE!

TO YOU, EARTH!

For making AWESOME memories with us.

Watching the sunset in London.

Cruising around in a food-less dingy for HOURS and HOURS - birdwatching - in Nepal. Haha.

Running our first 26.2 in Reykjavik.

Hobbling around at Gullfoss in Iceland. Post-marathon.

Relaxing in the blue lagoon with Leah!

Swimming at the P's with Joycie Girl.

Getting swarmed by black flies on our long run through the marsh in Wheatley.

Hitting golf balls on Lake Superior with Zan.

Catching up with Aimee in Marathon.

Freezing cold in Clear Lake!

Braving it on the longest foot suspension bridge in Canada at Eagle Canyon.

HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!!!

THE CONFESSION.

HUBS. Read on.

I need to upgrade yesterday's mention of The Real Housewives. Not only have I downloaded a few episodes, but this morning I committed to the ENTIRE FIRST SEASON! And I love it.

A LOT.

A LOT, A LOT.

I'm on episode five and for some reason, the mouse cursor keeps moving closer and closer to the "Buy Season 2" icon on iTunes. This sporadic attachment to EVEN-WORSE "bad" television is bound to escalate to include ALL "REAL HOUSEWIVES" CITIES if you don't return home soon!!!! And not only that, but I want my reality tv buddy home with me!

Back to the lives of the rich and famous....

Love,
Your REAL HOUSEWIFE of HAWALLI
(No really....I have the banana loaf to prove it!)

P.S. TWO MONTHS UNTIL WE ARE IN NYC! I selected a darn appropriate program to mark this milestone, agreed?! ;)

MISSIN' MY SNUGGLER.

SO much so that I've started to download episodes of The Real Housewives.....uh oh.

TOO GOOD!

July 28th, 10 a.m.

You can fret with me as Phil, his brother, and Mom P embark on this CRAZY "Edge Walk" journey at the CN Tower.

Ha! I need a hand-holder. Nicole??????
