Day 276: More Snow!

Frank stayed home from work cause he wasn't feeling the best. We didn't do much. I walked outside int he rainy/snowy weather to buy groceries, but it wasn't too bad. Enjoy...



By the way, it's not my cat.

Day 273: Just fun random pics I like.

Day 272: It's My Birthday!

At Midnight Frank showered me with gifts! I got a Pucca desk cup thingy, super cute, Pucca Wallet, Hello Kitty slippers, overly cute and funny, it's 2 giant HK heads, and a Cat comic book that I recommend to any cat lover called Cat Getting Out of a Bag and Other Observations by Jeffrey Brown. So it was fun. After that we went to bed and in the morning I woke up before Frank's alarm clock could go off and I noticed it was set an hour and half later then usual, so I figured out he was staying home, at least that's what I assumed, so just in case, I set the clock to the time he normally wakes up for work. It went off, he woke up very confused cause he knew he set the clock later. I jumped out of bed and he told me he took the day off and rolled over back to sleep. I continued to jump around very excited them calmed down and went back to sleep too.

For the day we went out SHOE SHOPPING! We didn't buy anything cause I'm super picky when it comes to getting things for myself, but Frank was a very good trooper for letting me drag him into tons of stores for a couple of hours and not get anything. That was the best b-day gift anyone could get me and he didn't complain one bit. He was very helpful and keep showing me boots that I sorta liked. I give Frank a gold star. Then we went out to dinner at a new place. It wasn't amazing food, but it wasn't horrible. I'd say the equivlant to Applebee's. So whatever your opinion in on that, that's the type of resturant we went to. My opinion isn't too high.

And after dinner we walked a little bit to find the center of Brussels littered with drunk people. Giant trucks fill with drunk people singing and playing music and everyone on the streets had their own mug of beer. We don't know where they came from or what festival it was that they were celebrating, but it was a nice surprise.

We were going to go to the Bodies Exhibit here in Brussels but we were tired from the shoe shopping and we've seen that exhibit 2 times already so we skipped it to spend the rest of the night home.

Also for about 2 weeks I will not be having French lessons with my friend Stephanie. She will be spending that time in the Sud du France [South of France, I hope I got that right] But! thanks to my friend mike who found me some great Podcast with free french lessons and pdfs. I will learn and study a lot, hopefully to surprise Stéph with the big advancement in French when she gets back.

And our Tv is busted. I haven't played wii in a week!

Day 264: Veteran's Day and WWI Day

Frank had off due to the historic event of today. It was nice to just bum around and do nothing. We drew a lot today. I'm trying to come up with a charicter and Frank is doing a short story about a Monk and a Yetti. I tried to make Breaded Eggplant, but it was very plain, and I blame the breadcrumbs for that! We didn't get the seasoned kind. And we watched Death Race. It's a good bad movie. I recommend it!

Day 262 : Wine Review

Sandeman Imperial Reserve Porto

So I'm not a wine expert, but I thought I'd share my two cents now that I'm drinking more beer and wine. Sandeman Imperial Reserve Porto is really good. It's a nice dark wine taste, but fruity and fun enough for those who don't love wine to like this one. Full of alcohol, so even if you hate it, after a glass you'll still say,"Can I have another?!"

It was just another day. Tortilla night! We got all the ingredients so it was extra yummy. Frank surprised me with him being off tomorrow. Turns out It's Veterans Day in the States, and WWI Day over here. So everyone gets off! His boss surprised him with that info 5 mins before work ended.

We saw Tropic Thunder and I have to say it was the best acting I have ever seen. Robert Downy Jr plays a black guy extremely well. And Tom Cruise...well it's just his best roll ever cause for once he doesn't play Tom Cruise! And it was pretty funny over all. I'd recommend it if you were bored.

On day 259 I baby sat Chimène [pronounced She-men] our friends baby, maybe 6 months old? Due to schedule conflictions they needed someone. Luckily mom kept her up most of the day, so when i watched her she was sleeping for 2/3rds of the time and didn't cry for the last part.

And we're actually keeping track of expenses. And just like the figures in our head, the numbers match up. Now it's the part where we have to lower those numbers.

And Frank managed to make not a horrible mess in the kitchen when he decided to make a dessert from scratch. It was good, I'll admit. But he says he can make it better...that means another clean up night for me. [smiles]
