8 things I did yesterday (I started this on Friday, even though it's being posted Saturday)
- Went to the gym
- Woo-hooed with the girls because it's the last day of school!
- Helped Jacqui get on the toilet. (she's potty trained, it's just that the toilets here are HUGE, the seat hits her at mid-chest.)
- Prepared my "Sunday School" lesson for church on Friday.(so why don't we call it Friday School?)
- Found heavenly Jello Cups at the commissary. They are sugar & fat-free & only have 10 calories!
- Checked my email.
- Watched an amazing clip of Kristin Chenoweth.
- And another.
8 Favorite Restaurants
- Bhua Khao (amazing Thai)
- Cantina Laredo (the best pulled beef tacos in Cairo!)
- Rainforest Cafe (They have one good dish, Calypso Chicken. I've only been once & I've dreamed about it ever since. And my kids LOVE the animatronic animals, huge aquariums and anthropomorphized tree in the gift shop.)
- Wingers (man, their wings are good!)
- Macaroni Grill (the spinach & shrimp with lemon and pasta, yum. same thing, had it once, been dreamin' ever since)
- Rodizios
- P.F. Changs
- Pho Dat Than (a vietnamese soup place that is amazing, you build your own soup AND we can feed the whole family for $7, yeah. Unfortunately, it's only in Virginia & Maryland)

I like the jet idea myself! As for dejunking and packing, I love that part! I'm really looking forward to it!
I wonder if we'll end up in DC at the same time or if we'll miss each other. If you get here before we leave, we should definitely get together!
Oh man. You know I have about a 6-week turnaround time on tags, right?
You're lucky I like you so much...
And I'm totally right. 30 is awesome, and fancy empty frames look great. Clearly I know everything ;)
30 is easy! :-) Watch out for 40 though.. I seem to recall ice skating, climbing rocks out in some redwood forest, and entertaining about 50 nieces and nephews (maybe it was only 10) in a pool along with my own 2.. right after recovering from fatal bronchitis (ok, near fatal, but it felt worse). It was all good, but I felt lucky to have made it to the next birthday ;-)
I'm looking forward to PCS next year too. We'll miss it here, especially the kids' school, but I'd never be able to list 8 favorite restaurants locally :-p. Besides, the kids are begging for SNOW... maybe next Christmas.
We started watching Psych recently. I can't help but feel liek Dule Hill is being under utilized but the show is so funny! ;P
