-i almost ran over 3 pedestrians today....
-one of them had to actually run to get out of my way.
-i hate it when you are hitting the gas pedal, but really trying hard to get your foot over to the brake pedal....but it won't get there fast enough...and then it gets caught underneath the brake pedal...
-i felt badly about coming so close to hitting that man.
-i think you shouldn't walk in front of cars whose driver is looking the other direction....as a general rule...
-why sneak up on a driver like that?
-i saw two dead, bloated cows on our way home from johannesburg this weekend.
-olivia asked her friends in ballet if they spoke french today. when they in turn started speaking siswati...olivia just blurted out the word oeuf....which is the french word for egg.
-egg?
-of all the words.....
-griffin and ella found a barbie....and a pair of scissors...and they played beautician.
-in the states, olivia’s ballet teacher wouldn’t let her wear a skirt over her leotard until she was 8 years old....she stopped taking ballet at 7.
-i’m having a hard time driving on the left side of the road while at the same time going through intersections that have 7 different directions that you can go, knowing what a stoplight says that the red and/or green light bulbs are not working, not hitting pedestrians that are forever running out in front of my car, not hitting cows that are forever walking in front of my car, not hitting goats that are forever walking in front of my car, and remembering where all of the speed bumps are....because Lord knows they are not marked.
-olivia feels confident saying egg in french. 8 weeks of french...and egg is her word of choice.
-egg?
-i am grateful barbie was who griffin and ella played beautician on....i would cry if one of ella’s pig tails was suddenly missing.
-olivia’s ballet teacher in swaziland only lets little girls under age 8 wear skirts over their leotards...olivia is now 9....
-olivia is beyond sad by this misfortune...
-i still don’t know the exact conversions for celsius and fahrenheit.
- i do know that in the teens it’s chilly, but tolerable. in the 20’s it’s very nice. in the 30’s it’s very hot. in the single digits....i want to go back to the states where my house had heat.
-when the doctor said griffin’s temp was 36....that really didn’t mean anything to me...
-we had to board our dogs for this weekend because we are going on our team retreat in south africa.
-the dogs were very scared....there was much trembling... and peeing.
-i feel badly for the dogs...
-i feel badly for the truck in which they were riding.
-i’ve never seen a bloated cow before....only bloated armadillo...
-bloated armadillo are less disturbing....well, i don’t know...it’s a toss up...
