what's new pussycat?

  • Packing for the beach and realizing that travel by car is made so much nicer by the whole no weight limit on your bag (or 6)
  • Loving the Tet season and how everyone takes the time to wish each other a happy NEW year
  • Amelia is beyond obsessed with cars....and trucks.....and things that go
  • Allison came home from school today with a Tet card that she had written "Mom + Dad" in - cue the tears
  • February 1 marks our two month countdown to departure from SGN - I am 50% depressed about leaving our "home" and 50% thrilled with the thought of DC and our new adventures in Central America
  • I do not miss presidential primary campaign commercials in SC - not one bit
  • I do however miss RiteAid or any other large chain pharmacy - very much so
  • The best part of moving is the purging of goods, right? best feeling ever
  • Also the best feeling ever - chatting with girlfriends
  • Why do I have a dozen 1/2 used bottles of sunblock? how does that happen?
  • I am going to miss my job
  • This post is as scattered as I feel in life right now - eek!
  • Living with Allison is like living on a game show - she is obsessed with letters and learning to read, so she ends almost every one of her questions with "Is that correct, Mom?"
  • Amelia's favorite answer to ANY question is "pink", but only when she doesn't know the answer, which is not often - we had to teach her that holding up two fingers means she will be two on her birthday - for a while if you asked her how old she was going to be, she answered "Gaga" (my mom) or "Bapa" (my dad)
  • oy
  • Amelia is going to be 2 soon
  • She lovingly refers to herself as Mimi, but sounds out each letter in her sister's name - A L L I S O N
  • must finish packing
  • who am I kidding?
  • off to play words with friends

  1. Packing. Wouldn't that be a great play for Words With Friends. As a sometimes blogger myself, Words With Friends seems a more appropriate time-waster than, say, television. Bottom line, my blog has more word game posts than thoughtful entries. Distracted by WWF and TV. I will always justify my TV time as long as I can tie it back to wordplay. Blame my love of Scrabble, WWF and TV trivia for spawning my blog and the anagrams I invent therein. Still, all these distractions keep me from blogging like you do.

    1. Words with Friends - it is similar to Scrabble (I am told, having never played) - I am HORRIBLE at it, but can't help myself! You sign up through FB - I will send you an invite!
      We are in DC for Spanish - then heading to El Salvador in Nov 2012 - huge change!
