The wildlife really is no joke, eh?<br /><br />This was the first time I'd heard of or seen the banana pose, too. When I hear "banana yoga" it makes me think of banana yogurt, LOL.emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-73272815816152070842016-10-25T21:34:30.481-05:002016-10-25T21:34:30.481-05:00Thanks Rachel!!!

The weather is already getting pretty cold in Anchorage - Vanitha texted me today that they've already got snow and ice, so to be sure to pack boots. =) So it looks like I'm getting there right at the very edge.<br /><br />Woo hoo for the new song! Have you heard of the Shazam app? I use it all the time to identify the names/artists of songs I like. =)emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-14593170405319794342016-10-24T08:46:08.890-05:002016-10-24T08:46:08.890-05:00I love Acivii!

I was also plotting to run at least one mile in Alaska, just so I could say that I did it. =)<br /><br />Yes, it was unfortunate the Cubs lost on Tuesday night - but there's a reason these are best-of-7 series. You can't expect to win them all! Hopefully the Cubs will be able to close out their series tonight!!!!!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-56814566342345547572016-10-22T09:04:18.392-05:002016-10-22T09:04:18.392-05:00Have fun in Alaska, how exciting!

I'd have a hard time not wanting to run there, even if it was just a mile, so I could say that I did it :)<br /><br />I wondered if they played the Cubs game at the UC on Tuesday! Too bad the outcome for the Cubs wasn't as good as it was the last time you were there :( Hopefully the next time the Cubs and Hawks play at the same time over the next couple of weeks *knocks on wood*, it'll be nothing but good outcomes :)Bethany @ Accidental Intentionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15928245643333105559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-4877888832705424252016-10-21T16:33:22.762-05:002016-10-21T16:33:22.762-05:00I agree - everyone that has tried Roti loves it!

It's amazing!" All I could think was that they need to get out more! A bottomless Roti gift card would be sweet. <br /><br />I've never seen that video before but I knew the song as soon as you said the title.

Thank you for reigniting the Friday Five link-up, too, I think we are all thrilled to be able to keep the Five momentum going! =)<br /><br />Very cool that you got to visit Alaska! I can certainly imagine how tough it must be for students to learn all of the American slang. Some of it makes no sense whatsoever, even to me as a native English speaker!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-69120094027602408532016-10-21T15:32:59.107-05:002016-10-21T15:32:59.107-05:00Have fun in alaska!

I wasn't really into running that much when I visited but I wish I would have been cus there were places I would have loved to explore! <br /><br />So funny about the Idioms. I teach students whose first language is not English and I always wonder how hard it must be for them to catch on to our lingo that makes no sense! Thanks for being a part of our link up!
