I haven't blogged much this week at all. It's been a strange week and I've been busy for a change. Tonight, we're going out to dinner with Doug (waiting for the taxi as I type). We'll probably drink too much and get home quite late. Tomorrow we're having my expat friend, Aniela and her husband over for the day. I'm looking really forward to her visit and I'm sorry we didn't do it months ago, because in a few weeks she'll be moving back to the states and I'll be lucky if we get to see each other again. I spent the day today cleaning and cooking in preparation for their visit. I really enjoy having company and wish we had more friends and Doug would finally find a girlfriend so I can do it more often.
We haven't been out since our anniversary so I'm looking forward to tonight as well. I can't wait for the spring to finally arrive so I can get out and do more. It's been a really long winter.
I think I hear the taxi...
Have a good weekend everyone...

They plan to give out capes & masks out to children who behave well as rewards at playtime. They will have assemblies where they will teach the children to play fighting games without making contact. I find this to be absurd. The problem has gone on to long and I doubt they will be able to teach little children to change their games when they have sixty other childr...
