1. I kill ants with my bare feet. and fingers. and elbows and knees and anything else I can manage. oh, and Doom.
2. All my pants are falling off because I either lost weight or they don't shrink because
3. I never dry my clothes, simply because neither of our clothes driers works.
4. I sleep under a mosquito net and pretend I'm a princess. (I'm planning to decorate it soon with buttons and ribbons and stuff.)
5. I cook sometimes. Not much, not well. But it actually does happen. I'm becoming a pancake expert. I even wash dishes on my own sometimes too!
6. I drink less coke (though I still certainly drink it), and I drink instant coffee.
7. I am a teacher. I make lesson plans, I write tests, I grade papers, I get frustrated with slackers, and I love my students. Also, no big discipline problems. Isn't that fantastic?
8. I drive on the left side of the road in the right side of the car.
9. I send a text message every 3 or 4 days, maybe, as opposed to every 3 or 4 minutes.
10. I walk a lot. 'nuff said.
11. I accept the spider that lives in a crack in the ceiling over my shower as a welcome guest.
12. I don't have a cat. (What hasn't changed is that I still desperately want a kitten.)
13. I wear a skirt or dress most days of the week.
14. I respond to "Ally" and "Miss O" better than any other appellation.
15. I don't watch television or listen to the radio. Football season and Hockey season make this a very sad thing indeed.
16. I take malaria medication every day.
17. I rarely eat out- only a few times a month.
18. I effectively count money in denominations of $500. (Really this could read "I effectively count money" and still be pretty true.)
19. I accept the cute lil lizards and geckos and such all over the place.
20. I LIVE IN AFRICA!!!! How cool is that?! I am now a proud resident of The Warm Heart of Africa- the stunningly beautiful and incredibly hospitable country of Malawi.

Ant problem? And I don't know if I could handle the spider. It's good to hear you're loving it there! Praying for you!
ReplyDeleteAllison, good morning from Columbus. I look every morning to see if there is a new post. It helps me
ReplyDeleteTo know how to pray more specifically for you. I am praying for you as you are a witness to people in Africa. I am praying for you as you teach. As of today I will pray for all the little critters (spiders and ants) to leave you alone. Have a wonderful and blessed day. Love, Ms Laura
