My Cooperative Man :)

Shopping at True Value....

Lindsay: Now hunnie, don't be embarrassed. (Pulls out camera from purse). We have to document this moment - buying paint for our first home!

LESSON LEARNED?

Double the cheese does not always mean double the fun! It turns out two slices of Kraft singles equates to only one once the sandwich maker does its part!

Do Us A Favour?

And one more thing - never forget to say "I Love You". Those three words matter. And to some people, they can make all the difference.

Better Late Than Never?

While trying to fall asleep....

Lindsay: Ugh. I have such a bad headache!

Phil: Okay. Goodnight! (Turns over)

Lindsay: (Shocked at an unexpected response) WAIT A MINUTE! What?! "Okay. Goodnight"?!!!! I think this calls for a conversation replay.

Phil: (Laughs) You're right. I'm sorry you have headache, hun. Can I get you anything?

Lindsay: (In a pouty, "it's too late" tone) No, thank you. Goodnight!

(And we went to bed laughing).

Change of State or Change of Mind?

On leaving the bathroom floor wet....

Phil: Lindsay! There's water all over the place in here!

Lindsay: Only temporarily! That is the good thing about water - it evaporates!

Phil: (gives "the look")

Lindsay: Hunnie, I BELIEVE IN SCIENCE!

Phil: Well I DON'T! I believe in mopping it up!

Lindsay: You just refuse to give science a chance!

Oh, DADDY!

Remember that time I went on the "Liftlock Cruise" in grade three? Well, you packed a Five Alive juice box and a Twinkie in my lunch.

It made my day :)

Maria Aragon on Ellen

There's nothing like young, Canadian talent to cheer you up! Enjoy this ten year old's rendition of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way".

What a BUMMER!

As IF that just happened! Chris Medina didn't make it through to the top 24?! Talk about a good cry during reality television. Ah well, one thing's for sure: he may not be the next American Idol but he sure is America's Sweetheart.

People like him don't go unnoticed. We'll be seeing him again.

Here's the thing....

This weekend, Kuwait will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Independence, the 20th Anniversary of Liberation and the 5th Anniversary of the Amir (CONGRATULATIONS, KUWAIT!). There are many outstanding, Guinness-Book-of-World-Record's events planned and we have four days off to enjoy the festivities! Unfortunately, everyone we encounter advises AGAINST attending these events and we have been encouraged to stay indoors this long weekend!

To this I say: OKEE DOKEE! Who doesn't love a forced weekend on the couch?! Television-wise, we have American Idol, Survivor, and the Oscar's to look forward to. Movie-wise, we purchased eight new films after school today. Food-wise, we have all the imported goodness from the Sultan Center :) Oh - throw in some comfy p.j.'s, a handsome hubby, and lots of tea and we are in for a FANTASTIC, RELAXING, and ENJOYABLE four days!

P.S. Kuwait is so pretty this month! It is just like Christmas here, with lights all over the place! I wish you were here to see it!!! Some of the displays would make your jaw drop!!!

My Favourite Ten Minutes in Kuwait.

After driving 45 minutes to the middle of nowhere to see a "kite festival"....

Lindsay: (laughing, smiling, jumping up and down) PHIL!!!!!!!!

Phil: (also laughing) Hunnie, you are so easy to please!
