It must have been so frustrating up until then.
I rarely cry, but I was in tears that day. It didn't help that we had an apartment but non of our furniture or other things had arrived yet. We had a bed/couch/table/4 chairs from the consulate but that was it. And a 13inch TV with all Brazilian channels. I hated it there for the first 4-5 months. Once I made a few friends and got settled in, I was much happier. Part of my problem was that until we had an apartment, Toby (who was 5 months old) had to stay on a tiny porch in 90 degree weather at the house of these people I had just met. I missed everything in my life at that point and it made me miss my puppy even more.
brenda's story is familiar to me. It always seems that I know the dogs before I know their owners.
Anne -- your hair looks fantastic! The style really suits you.
Anne it looks wonderful! I'm so jealous that you can wear that style.
Anne, that's a FANTASTIC cut on you! Very swanky -- like a lounge singer (NOT a lounge lizard -- big difference). It's so sleek and dramatic -- I love it!
Aiyeee! Anne you look insanely hot. Somebody should be kissing you right now.
I keep trying to tuck my hair behind my ear, then realizing there is no hair there to tuck.
That's right - I still don't have any pictures of your haircut either.
Thank god for Jessica and Anne.
Went to see "Mad Hot Ballroom" tonight--SO CUTE! And I kept picturing Fay saying "Bless!" because the children were so adorable and funny and OMG are they going to be embarassed in ten or fifteen years when their date finds out they were in that movie. Heh.
Also: hardly anyone I know has been on IM today, and I think it's because they were/are all off reading that book! Hmph.
I'm online! Because I finished the book this morning. =)
Not that... we... really talk much. Maybe I should lurk less.
Hee. Well, I'm mostly mad because one certain person is, I suspect, reading the book and thus not online. But it has been amusing to look at the list, and see that it's much smaller than usual, all of today. :)
I'd talk to you, but I think I'm going to sleep now...must get up and buy Harry Potter in the morning! Or, something.
