Smurfs, Tests, Parents, and Yul Brynner

I am realizing that I have been utterly pathetic at keeping you guys up to speed on life this week. I've been a bad blogger this week, so I apologize.

It's late Thursday night and I am sitting here reflecting back on the week, so I thought it would give you some updates on what's gone on.

These are in no particular order.

* Tonight I saw an Arab dressed up as a Smurf outside Pizza Hut. That's right, a Smurf. He was big and blue, with a white hat and white pants, but no shirt as most Smurfs don't have any use for them.

*We found a new apartment, so now we are going shopping for furniture. Do you know how many types of furniture are out there? I only wear jeans, because I have problems making decisions. I wore jeans yesterday, I wore jeans today, and I will wear jeans tomorrow. Picking out furniture is a foreign concept. Too many decisions.

*Today was Independence Day here. I asked a taxi cab driver why it was Independence Day. You know, was it because you won your independence from the British or from the Turks or from what? He didn't know. He said, "It's Independence Day, because we have independence." Makes sense to me. Why not?

*Tomorrow Signal plays again. My kids did well at practice, but my first baseman is going to be gone, so I have a hole to fill, but because it's a three day weekend I doubt I will have enough to play anyways.

*B and I started packing up the house. It's amazing how much junk you accumulate over 10 months. It's even more amazing how much junk you accumulate in a furnished house!

*My parents are coming to visit on Sunday. I am so stinkin' pumped.

*We got 3D pics of our kid this week. (See post below) My dad said he looked like Yul Brynner from the King and I. Is that a good thing?

*We have only two more school days left. I took my last two big tests. I made a 78 on my grammar test and a passing grade on my speaking. That means that they can't hold me back. I am moving on to the third semester the fall!


I am completely in awe about how boring this post is. I apologize for a lack of creativity. Once school is over, the parents leave, and we have furniture in our house I will have more time to blog, but then if I am not doing anything, then what am I going to post?

I loved this post! It wasn't boring at all to get caught up. I can relate to the packing stuff up as well because I am moving out of my classroom. I could not believe all the stuff I am accumulated over the last three years.
