Forts, Exams, and beach days

Hello friends, family, comrades, and strangers,

I have been asked recently how to follow a blog, this is if you want to make sure you don't miss my exciting doings, or don't want to check into the blog but just get it to your email.  To the right of this post is a space that says "follow by email", insert your email address, and press submit, and then it'll send my posts right to your email so you don't have to check my site all the time, and instead can enjoy it from the comfort of your email site. 

 
Pernaz the belly dancer &
 Aj the crayon
Onto the cool stuff...
Well we had halloween not to long ago, and I thought hard about what I wanted to be, my friend Kelsey was going to lend me her toga, and she was going to be a tacky Miss America, the top was a sequinned flag, omw, it was FANTASTIC, anyways, because we are not in America, and couldn't get the right accessories, Kelsey was going to use the toga, which I learned two hours ahead of the party (because as you know I lost my phone).  I decided to be a crayola blue crayon.  It was awesome, I put a blue ribbon in my hair, blue makeup, and even made a sign.  The girl standing next to me is the beautiful Pernaz my roommate, and she was a bellydancer, but the whole night it was raining outside so she had her coat on, she took it off just so we could take a picture. Adore her. 

Sushi and girls night!
 
I told you about my first excursion with sushi, and so the girls (Kelsey, brown hair, Inge blonde hair, me in my favorite sweats) decided to get sushi and watch a movie.  As many of you know, I am a STRONG supporter of girls nights.  My roommates asked me, "Aj, you have girls nights like once or twice a week! What's up with that?" I replied, "I live with a man, I need some girl time to keep my estrogen up, plus, more desserts, with less guilt."  That and Jer will watch the good Disney movie with me, but not Little Mermaid, so I need females to bond with. We went to go get the movie at the rental store but they didn't have it.  We were shocked...so we got Jumanji instead. I forgot how scary that movie is.

Before Fort Building commenced
 
And After :-)
 
Me chilling in the fort :-)

 Now, as most of you know I am around the age of 12 in my heart.  As such we had a free day and it was yucky outside, and I was just feeling quite sludgy.  After studying for my exam for a few hours Jeremy remarks, "Aj, let's build a fort". And so we did.  Mind you, we only had one sheet, and two blankets, so we got creative and used my scarves, towels, weights, and kitchen chairs to make it work.  Turned out fabulous.  We watched some Friends (I'm working my way through Season 2 Aunt Sara) and made Mac and Cheese. Man I love my husband. Coolest best friend EVER.
   
Mac and Cheese+Husband+Fort=
AWESOME TIME

 I was able to go and have a real beach day for the first time...in a long time. It's cold here in South Africa. Anyone who tells you different is lying, or is a hyperborean giant who is used to cold weather.  It's not cold enough for a coat, but it's def not warm enough for the beach..UNTIL TUESDAY! We had a wicked great time down at the beach, and got ice cream cones and played in the water.  It was wonderful.  I loved it.  Although the salt water makes me think of french fries and then makes me hungry.

Had my first exam today, 200 points, and half my grade. It was pretty intense but I studied well, and I'm not worried about, what I am worried about is the Afrikaans test I have on Monday...that's going to be brutal.  Just keep studying, just keep studying, studying studying studying...or maybe I'll go to the beach :-)
Love you all,
Am
