Megan, I'm finally posting my seven things for the blog award you passed on to us. I'm not really sure either what it means to get a blog award. I'm going to take a little spin on it and instead of posting 7 things about me I'm going to post 7 things we've done or just experiences we've had over the month of March. Here it goes!
1. For 3 out of the 4 weeks in March we alternated being sick and taking care of each other. We still managed to make it to school every day. Needless to say our morning work-outs have been effected by this and who knows if we will ever recover. We are enjoying not waking up as early.
2. Gideon's B-Ball team played their first game of the season. The game was a bit stacked. The other team were giants. There were only 2 guys smaller than Gideon's tallest player. His team only made one basket, but they had fun and that is what counts.
3. It is supposed to be hot and dry season here, but it has been raining in the nights and we've been having cool breezes during the day. It feels like Cambodian winter, a low of 75 degrees. We finally bought a flat sheet for our bed. We had been using a blanket that we brought over with us, but now the whether has been so nice we have been getting cold with just our sheet at night.
4. I've been spider hunting twice this month. Our apartment builds up spiderwebs on the tall ceilings quite often. So I have to get a PVC pipe and tie it to our broom. I try to kill all the spiders while I'm tearing up their webs, but I know some escape. I'm always so itchy afterwards. You never know if a spider has crawled down a web and landed in your hair. We did find a big hairy spider in our apartment in October the size of a tennis ball, but we haven't seen once since then.
5. We have discovered I have a fear of Cambodian cows. I've never been afraid of cows before, but these ones in Cambodia seem like they are out to get me. Especially the ones with the horns. We've been told if maneuvering either on foot, bicycle or moto through a heard of cows it is best to go where they have been instead of where they are going. Well where are you suppose to go if the Cambodian man is herding them straight towards you. You think they would want to avoid you, but no they just keep getting closer and closer. Some day I'll be writing a story about how I got head-butted by a Cambodian cow.
6. We have been following March Madness. Gideon always fills out a bracket, but this year was my first time ever. We are now waiting for the Final Four to play, because if Butler wins I will be the owner of the first place bracket. The whole Walker side of the family filled out a bracket, even our 3 month year old niece. If I win I don't get any money, but its still fun that I had no idea what I was doing and I could possibly win it all because of one team.
7. One of the roads on the way to our house is getting paved. The process started this month. Cambodians paving strategies are so interesting. So far it hasn't effected us getting to and from our house, but for some reason they start in the middle of the road instead of starting at one end and working their way to the other. Our landlord told us they are starting in the middle because the King's son own land in the middle and his area of the road needs to be done first. Oh and this last month they just put street lights along one the main road close to our house. It makes night driving much more pleasant. Our moto light is not that powerful.
I am passing this blog award to Cynthia and Tim @ Asian Blend
