Spring forward

I don't want to jinx it but I think spring is here for good! The weekend was absolutely beautiful - temperatures in the mid-teens!! Heather and I did our usual grocery shop together Saturday morning, at the "mall". We decided to take our time and not rush for the next bus back. With the extra time we had, we took a walk around the parking lot, with our shopping cart, riding it and singing and laughing. We also pondered why everyone else in the city was still sporting their winter jackets. We baked oatmeal M&M cookies (can you believe we can't find chocolate chips anywhere here???) in the afternoon. Then we had another successful "Film 101" weekend (where Heather and I watch movies that she is typically shocked and appalled that I haven't seen). Sunday morning I went for my first run of the year (ahhhh, SO nice) and Heath and I met up at the gas station again for coffee, followed by an early afternoon movie. Very relaxing indeed.

Heath and I decided we want to start meeting up after work to go for evening strolls. We had our first date Monday. It's a really nice way to end the day, especially with the weather we've been having.

I went running yesterday morning as well. It's another one of those things that causes people to look at me like I have five heads. With a high of 17, I walked to work in a t-shirt; PEOPLE WERE STILL WEARING THEIR WOOL JACKETS! I don't understand. My turn to stare, thank you.

Yesterday was my first "Story time" session. No one came. Hahaha

A Turkish girl came to the school yesterday afternoon, looking for someone who could speak English, and to find out about working opportunities. Apparently there is a guy from France living here now too, and an American guy from Virginia (to be a player for the "American" football team that is starting up). Random Rado is always full of surprises.
