What if Chuck Norris had a mullet????

I feel like I have so many random things I want to blog about today! First of all, I'm sitting in our living room IN THE SUN!!! This is huge. It got really cold Tuesday, but it's worth it! I will gladly take cold and sunny over warm-ish and rainy! I can now say that it is definitely winter here in Poland. I'm greatly enjoying my cuddle-duds and big sweaters. However, do you think that this has changed the fashions here in Olsztyn? Absolutely not. Just watching some of the girls here walk around makes me cold! They're still wearing capris with tall boots, and oftentimes have a few inches of skin hanging out!
Anyhoo, in no particular order, here are some highlights from the week:
**Saturday, we went out to a local village and helped the Baptist church here put on a program for the village kids. These are mostly kids who came to a day camp the church held last summer, so they came back to visit the kids and put on a puppet show, did some songs, had sandwiches (which we helped make...a non-linguistic task!), and showed a video that Sean put together with footage from camp. The kids had a great time, and the principal of the school wants the church to come back monthly and do something for the kids.
**Sunday evening, we had America night. We watched Remember the Titans and ate homemade pizza. Good stuff.
**signed the papers for our new flat and get the keys this Thursday. woo-hoo!
**met with Ola, the woman we met our first full day here. It was good talking with her and getting to practice our Polish a bit, too!
**helped the Stevensons get their house back in order after they had some work done on their house
**bought two boxes of some of the nastiest juice known to man...mint apple! eww! We bought the first box, smelled it, were pretty sure it was fermented, threw it down the drain, bought another box, smelled AND tasted it, were apalled, threw it down the drain AGAIN and realized that it was indeed apple mint juice! Really, who does that?
**laughed so hard on the bus that I hit my head on the pole behind me...ridiculous Americans!
**had the bus doors close in my face, with Amber already inside, and had to watch her and several Poles laughing as the bus drove away...mmmhmmm, good for the pride =)
**and now, I've saved the two best for last: this week, we learned the Polish word for mullet AND found out that our teacher (remember Milosc? He's still hanging in there!) had a mullet when he was little. Nice. And, finally, would you believe me if I said that Chuck Norris jokes have arrived in Poland as well???? It's true. I would not lie about something as great as this. And, might I add, I have seen several Chuck Norris classics playing on Polish televison while we've been here. I love this land. In honor of good ol' Chuck, or Walker as we like to call him, I'm going to re-post a list of Chuck Norris jokes. It's Friday and we could all use a good laugh.
