Two firsts….

I am enjoying having my mom here. She’s really trying to learn all the different letters of the alphabet-and she’s doing well! She’s had some serious jet lag, so we’ve been taking it easy. Today I had my AWO meeting and my mom decided to stay home to watch movies and play on the internet.

After the AWO meeting, my friend Jamie needed to stop at the pet store for some medicine for her cat. Not just any medicine…medicine to help her cat who was in heat. Since I’m the one taking Russian, she decided it was going to be me who asked for this medicine. Of course, we had no idea what it was called. So, we looked up a few words and I was all ready to go. My goal was to not have to use cat and sex in the same sentence. We got to the store and went to the pharmacy area. I tried first to say in Russian “My cat is hot” and waved my hand in front of my face. Lady looked at my like I was NUTSO! Here goes… I said “Моя кошка хочет sex!” (when we looked up sex in the Russian-English dictionary, it was the same) Translation…My cat wants sex"! Jamie was trying so hard not to crack up. Luckily I didn’t have to use ANY hand gestures! As soon as I said it, the lady said “DA DA DA”! (that’s yes-they usually say it three times) Problem solved! Hammie the wonder cat now has medicine for her “problem”. Think they make something like that for husbands? :-)

The second first was ordering Pizza Hut online for delivery-It worked! Couldn’t believe it! We ordered cheese pizza and breadsticks-YUM!
