We cannot believe that Thanksgiving is this week. It came up fast. Last week, when I mentioned to Mike that "Thanksgiving is next week" he did not believe me and had to look at the calendar for himself.
We do not have any plans for this Thursday- mostly because it is already an action-packed day in itself (weekly Hope & Life meeting, dentist appointment for Annie, class to prepare for/teach for Mike). I think we might do a Thanksgiving-type meal on Saturday and invite some friends. Heard a rumor that you can buy turkey at the bazaar... Things we have definitely NOT seen at the bazaar: pumpkin in a can (because that's where they come from), cranberries and sweet potatoes. Not even sure if they exist on this particular continent.
Started off the day with a soliloquy ("a dramatic monologue that represents a series of unspoken reflections") from Solomiya as soon as she woke up... and then woke us up. And she has continued non-stop all day. What is she saying? Don't know- but it is quite funny. Mike said it sounds like she is speaking Hungarian.
Next, came my Russian lesson with Valya. This is one of the tongue-twisters I worked on today: щеночкам щётчками чстили щёчки. What does it mean? Something about puppies...
Around 12:30pm, Solomiya and I went for a sanity stroll around the neighborhood and she fell asleep (слава Богу).
Mike had to go into town early for a meeting and just decided to stay at the Hope & Life office to finish preparing for his evening class.
Solomiya and I hung out in the kitchen for a couple of hours cooking, eating, and cleaning. Actually, Solomiya was crawling into the bottom cabinets; she has moved beyond just playing with pots and pans.
I have 1 OT session to prepare for tomorrow and then when Mike comes home we may watch another episode of Sherlock Holmes on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b30CzC4xYuo&feature=plcp
Would it be illegal if I smuggled you a sweet potato in my shoe next trip? :)
