Happy Thanksgiving (CDN)/Armed Forces Day (EGP) everyone! :) We have just finished up a busy week at the school (pep rallys, interim reports were due, PD days and after-school activities are up and running) and while many of my friends have booked a train to scubadive in alexandria; i opted to stay in cairo and just chill.
Most people are celebrating Thanksgiving next week because there are more staff around. Luther and i will be attending the large Thanksgiving Dinner next saturday. I will be making apple crisp (mom- i need that apple crisp recipe!!) :)
Best part of beginning a (much needed) long weekend? PARCELS!!! from WINNIPEG!!
So thanks mom. :)
I got it from school (30LE to accept it) and it was most likely tampered with because the seal was with Egyptian tape. However, they go through everything here, for safety and whatnot. Its a good thing they didn't take anything though. I needed my CDN living magazine fix!
In the package were lovely autumn-ish items that will never be found here in Cairo. Teaching about leaves changing color here is completely pointless :P
Mom is also very adament on making sure i am keeping up with current events. Prince william caught cheating! Bachelorette drama! Lindsay Lohan getting crazy again! TABLOID MAGAZINES!! ENGLISH ONES!!
Thank you mom for supplying me with a nice dose of literary 'crap' that i will be rummaging through this weekend. :)
After opening the package i treated myself to 'Lucilles' - a great burger spot on Road 9 (kind of like an 'osborne village' of maadi.
Also, a big hello to everyone in Winnipeg who has been keeping in touch and reading. There are more than i thought!
Congrats to Teresa on her new place
A big hello to caroline and grandma
And lots of hugs to Luthers Family.
xoxo
p.s. luther is apparently attempting a haircut today. I- however, will be growing my hair out like a crazy blonde amazon woman until i return to winnipeg for christmas. I should probably book my appt. with fran ASAP...
