Details of life as I find myself changing my life for the better. Sure I could be mature and even tempered, but slightly crazy and an emotional car wreck are more fun.
I am not doing very well, now am I? Yikes. Well, obviously back from Africa. It was good. Not sure how a relationship is going to work since they don't even really have internet, but it was an interesting trip and I'm glad I went. My basic summary is that it was hot (about like Texas in the summer, the bathrooms are GODAWFUL, literally I have never walked into so many restrooms and just not known what to do, and the people are incredibly nice. Yup. That sums it up.
The end of school was fine. Not too many complaints, just a little bit of crazy, not too much. We set up and passed out from the small auditorium which was awesome. We had room, they were organized, definitely want to try to do that again!! The yearbook looks amazing, and we got almost all of them passed out, so that is awesome. It was a weird end of school, but that is for a different post.
Buddy is happily staying with his grandparents. Not sure his grandparents are as happy, but what the heck.
I am now on a plane with 28 graduated seniors headed to Italy for two weeks. Other than the fact that I already seemed to have pulled my fleece out of my backpack and left it somewhere in DFW airport, and the plane was totally delayed due to some malfunction, and we are traveling for about 18 hours today, all is well. It should be a great trip, and I am hoping to keep up with the blogging either here or on skips blog. I'll paste the address at some point.
Ok, actually I have several ideas, but in the specific area to which I refer, I have no idea. I have been back from Europe for a full week. I have what can only be referred to as a chitload of pictures to upload of just fun Europe stuff AND some serious fashion errors being made across the pond.
I have things going on in the home that are worthy of note. I have the continuing saga of my desire to get free meals through dating, ha ha. Kindof. I have the R.E.T. new age chit I did recently I could examine. All sorts of stuff. Instead, I've lolled about, done jack diddly and not written a word. What's wrong with me? Well, first and most importantly, when I passed the happy pill store, I didn't stop and buy one of EVERYTHING.
Luckily for you people, without even knowing it Noodleroux shamed me into writing. I mean, seriously, if I'm gonna make her blogroll I gotta have something on ye olde blog, right? right.
OK, so let's do a quick catch up on life.
Wake-up call our last day in Spain 3:30 am. So very painful. At the airport at 4:30am. This is basically how the world appears when you can't get your eyes to focus because it is sooooo freaking early.
Returned from Europe last Thursday after a long ass plane ride. Got home to NO A/C (remember this is Texas people . . . hotter than Hell and that is no freaking joke). Thought I was going to die. A/C people came Friday. . . so I headed out, and immediately got hit by a 16 yr old changing lanes in a Toyota land Cruiser (Let me tell you Land Cruiser is not a lightly given name. Big freaking vehicle.) Damage was minimal but a total pain to get info yada yada.
In the meantime, while I was gone, Scott the handy dandy handy man took out my old mantle, put in a new one and moved the old one to the bedroom to be a headboard for my bed. Very fun. He also started tearing out the second bathroom. It is now totally empty which is pretty much how it is going to remain for awhile cause I am totally broke. Seriously. Like I'm considering being an exotic dancer in an effort to make money. . . oh, fine, not seriously considering, but still.
Here are some other jobs that I just don't think I will ever be so desperate as to take:
Hello I dress as a a strange purple woman with tulling, oh and please see her little friend the chicken down the way. . . Ah, the copper cowboy. This next one is tricky. Look at the man in the brown suit. Tie is flipped over the shoulder, but he's not moving at all. Still as a statue. Ok, I saved the best for last, and by best, I mean seriously crappy job. So, while traffic is still going in both directions these boys fill up the wheelbarrel on the right side of the road, wait for a break in traffic, run their asses into the street where they dump the load of sand and then race back to the side of the road. Seriously. Crappy. Job. So, all in all, there is stuff I could be writing about but I just haven't been doing it. Sigh. Maybe this will get me to post the atrocious clothing choices people have been making over there.
Ok, so after our excitement at the Vatican, KT and I had our picture taken with the Swiss Guard. Bless their hearts, do you think that anyone says, "Man, someday I want to wear THAT uniform?" Seems odd. At the Trevi fountain we threw coins in to make our wishes. Please note the sassy scarf. No time to write more. Sorry.
OK, so at the colesseum we got a fun girls picture. And then Kristen and I took a photo. It looks a little lesbianish, but really wasn't supposed to look that way. So after that we saw a woman with huge boobs hanging out of her shirt. Yes, I did have to take a picture. In the meantime, Kristen and I saw a sign that amused us, especially since we are divas . . .
Ok, since I'm blogging at the hp2europe09.blogspot.com and I am twittering there really isn't much to write except.
It was a long FREAKING plane flight and I didn't sleep AT ALL. Ok, maybe an hour. It wasn't long enough. I am dying. Got on second plane, congested and tired, so I took 2 benadryl. Slept for 1 1/2 hrs.
Tour Guide is chatty Kathy. Really and truly, chatty kathy. Sigh. We've stayed at this hotel before, so it is good. Free wi-fi makes me happy.
BFF is determined that we will email each other. She is on top of it so far, so I guess I'll do my part and try to stay off the phone. We know what happens when I start talking like it isn't costing me a mint. (Yeah, it ends up costing me a mint!)
Dinner is in a little bit at the hotel, so the food (if I remember correctly is ok, not fantastic but a lot of it!!!)
