It's been raining all week. Yesterday I loved being home in my comfy clothes listening to the thunderstorms while cleaning (okay, I was really playing on the internet but shhhhh!). You'd think I would have remembered to take my umbrella today...not so much. It was a fun day anyway. I went to my usual Wed. morning American Woman's Org coffee at the Hard Rock Cafe and met some great new gals! Was very excited that a few new gals signed up but sad that some are moving on. My new friend Bobbie is moving in June to another region in Russia and Susan (who lives in my "hood") is moving back to Texas--also in June. I've been asked to get involved in several activities and will have to decide which ones to do. I've been asked to take over the Spread Sunshine Volunteer Group (group that goes to the Children's Cancer Hospital once a month), take over the membership responsibilities of the AWO, and volunteer as a nurse at a clinic for underprivileged people. In addition, I met a nurse today who said the American School here is looking for a school nurse sub--possibly part-time work as well. I would enjoy all of them, but will have to pick just one or two. I DO have to get on facebook! CLEARLY, I will also need a cleaning lady! After the AWO coffee, 8 of us went to Friday's for lunch and I had a very yummy oreo cookie shake! It was on the way home that I got drenched. It's okay, I didn't melt.May 13, 2009
Note to Self...Always Take Umbrella!

I posted earlier and don't think it showed up! Anyway, I am glad to read your posts as I am desperate to get to Russia. (ANd trying to get a teaching job at the American School) If you make any good connections at your group, I'll be glad to send a resume!
ReplyDeleteI have a Russian friend who translated for my adoption, and I would love to pass along her email. She is a great resource!
Best,

Hi
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled on your blog and wanted to comment as we left Moscow in August of 2008. I vote for the Spread Sunshine Committee as one of your possible options. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for anything that relates to Natenska!
Enjoy your time in Moscow. We loved it there!
