In a nutshell (which would be pistachio)

[baasheep]

I would rent my kidneys to get some decent sleep (hello jetlag!) but alas other things call like fat club and seeing just how much a vacation in america will affect my weight. Meh was worth it.

Had such a great time and cackled out loud when I pulled the polyester dress out of the mess of clothes that is my unpacking. Oh yes I shall be getting more wear out of this in the future I think, sure halloween is just around the corner :)

Its starting to dawn on me that although I will always have a mother shaped void in my life, each and every one of the happies that has happened since she passed goes a little way in taking the sting out of the pain. She would want me to be happy, to go out and be all that I can be and last week I think she would have approved of. Hell I'm proud of me for going that distance by myself for not freaking out when the bus was delayed, when the plane spent nearly an hour on the runway etc etc. I'm also delighted to have met such wonderful people after talking online to most of them for the bones of 7 years!

Oh yes I also have a wee crush, nothing can and will come of it but its nice to feel that giddy feeling again. Its been a long time.

In summary. America woo!, meeting old and new friends yay!, crush giddy!, unpacking meh, lack of sleep EUGH.




**Edited to add after careful consideration I think I prefer the velveeta mac and cheese over the kraft one. Crazy foreigner :p

*squeeeeeee* on the crush!

And YAY for having so much fun. Wish I could have been there to meet you!

And I prefer the Velveeta mac and cheese too. But I guess I'm a crazy foreigner too, even though I'm only from Canada. I never consider myself a foreigner, but I guess, obviously, I am.

I saw pics and I think that dress ROCKS and you should wear it regularly. I would!

Welcome back home! Get some sleep, or at least lay down, close your eyes, and think of your crush. :)

Don't tell me it's NOT me or I will BE crushed.

I miss you tons already, even though you're weird for not liking the powder orange mac better than the creamy kind.

I crushed on all you lovelies! Only you could carry off that delightful cheeseball costume. I know, don't judge me, look at it this way, we'll never argue over the mac n cheese :p
