Today

Life here continues on…I’m excited about Christmas already!!! (I always am…). Just listening to Christmas music reminds me of home and good times, and makes me happy. Today was Halloween. My big celebration was bringing a candy corn mix my mom sent me to language classes. All the foreign students liked me a lot today! Hehe. Oh, and a goofy classmate wrapped toilet paper around his head and hands and came to class as a mummy. I think he definitely receives the most-inexpensive costume award! What else did you miss from my life today? Hmmm….Milo is our dog, and he ate the stale tortilla out of my bedroom trash can today, while managing to drag trash all into the room. He is very talented. We have one of those press-the-pedal-with-your-foot-and-the-lid-opens trash cans in the kitchen (do those things have a name?). Milo can open it too (it’s not very tall). We have to be rather studious about taking out the trash frequently. You also missed the fourth day in a row that I went and worked out at the gym! For those of you who know me really well, you know that this has never happened in my life, and as such is a huge achievement. I joined the gym cuz I figured the couch potato diet just wasn’t cutting it. Really, it’s true. I went. Not lying!
I also found real whole wheat bread today at a bread store. AND it tastes good! As you can tell, this has been a very important day.
Oh, here’s a picture of Milo. He was all dressed up for our barbecue last summer.
