It's About Time!

I have been begging Phil to throw out this shirt and these pants since the summer! The shirt has a series of small holes decorating the front side and both parts of the outfit smell like they've never been washed before....even immediately following a spin in the washing machine! He claimed that these were "his favourites" and there was no way he could bring himself to throw them out. Actually, he loved them so much that he found comfort in wearing them during long flights!

Well, out of nowhere today, he walks in from basketball practice and says (as if I had never mentioned it before), "Hun, I think it's about time I throw these things out!".

WHAT?!!!!!!!!! I am not sure where this renewed sense of LOGIC is coming from, but I am happy to see it! YES - TOSS THEM AWAY! NOW! RIGHT NOW! See ya later smelly gear!

Borrowed or Stolen?

I really hope the first reaction to my name ceases to be "Lindsay Lohan?!" According to the Middle East, Lohan is the only Lindsay. I don't like it. Or her. No matter the explanation behind that $2500 necklace, please send her back to rehab or jail or wherever the heck she tends to frequent.

Our "Fin de Semaine" :)

* Thursday night we had a lovely couple over for American Idol and take-out! It is fun watching Idol with others who enjoy the show - especially when they're there to laugh at you when you cry during auditions! (hmmmm....I wonder who that would have been?)

* Friday! Ohhhh we love Friday's in the Middle East. They are always so quiet and peaceful. Phil slept in til one-billion o'clock, and so I checked on him every half hour to make sure he was still breathing. I was up at 6:45 (without an alarm!) and puttered around the house until he FINALLY awoke! (Haha, OH HUNNIE! I know you had a long week!)

* Friday afternoon we headed to the 360 mall, where we had a good chat about life while sipping on Americano's. We also found some protein bars, browsed the toys at TOYS 'R US, and picked up some groceries for the week. And one more thing....we got sweatbands that say "PRINCE" on them. SO COOL.

* Phil played basketball after the mall - wearing his stylish orange jersey for the premier time. They won their game and I believe Phil managed to tick a few people off while he was at it. I stayed home to run my scheduled 10 km and then baked two banana loaves and two batches of peanut butter cookies!

* Listen to this - WE WENT OUT ON FRIDAY NIGHT. Baha. I know, right?! Never happens. This weekend it did. We attended a "tapas party" (hosted by our Idol comrades) which was located in the middle of nowhere. Yep, the drive there entailed a map, and roundabouts, and dodging cars that break quick in front of you, and driving through a big sandpit, and watching out for stray cats......I thought there would be a treasure chest at the "finish" point, but alas, there was not. Anyways, I think we were out until the late hour of 10 p.m. (I know....WILD!). The second we got home, I went to bed. Phil and Kelly continued to party upstairs!

* Saturday morning Phil went for his weekly golf game and I lounged on the couch with an upset stomach. The day continued as such pour moi. Gingerale, toast, tv, and facebook. We finished the day with Project Runway and a grand-o cereal party for two.

Well - that's it, that's all! We are one week closer to seeing you THIS SUMMER!

Lunch Time Chatter.

1) It's really adorable when your husband sends you a copy of your wedding vows during the work day.

2) Last night I had the MOST fun EVER tutoring, as we made a "tornado in a jar". It was basically ARTS & CRAFTS: SCIENCE EDITION! (Yes, I DID get paid to do it!)

3) Phil has a basketball game today after school! I missed the game on Monday and am eager to return as the team's biggest fan tonight!

4) Back to that Idol thing.....I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
