Today is finally the right day to find out the sex of the baby. I am waiting on Justin and Jeremy to get back so Jeremy can get his sister to call for me. Today Margie and I went with tall Natasha to hand out invitations. We went twice today (before and after lunch). The first time we were only able to cover 3 out of 8 buildings. The second time was much better and out of 19 doors only 1 wouldn’t open for us. We met at a metro station at 4:00pm and went to the Russian TGIFridays. We had English menus and an English speaking waitress. It was nice to have a little home away from home. I had the “broken noodles” ziti with cheese and tomatoes.
Then we walked to the theatre and watched a ballet about Putin, or as Jimmy B. calls it “Rice Puddin”. It was pretty neat but more like a musical than a ballet. Now we have finally arrived at the hotel after a long day at 10:20pm. When the boys get back from the store, I believe I’ll crash.
My feet hurt so bad today, I had to fight off tears. It hurt so bad to walk or even stand. I was trying different shoes since the others hurt too. I think most of the ice is gone so I’ll try my new balances tomorrow. Tomorrow we meet at 8:40am.
