Kat tagged me to share 10 things you don't know about me but I think I]ll play by her rules and tell you 10 things that are going on with me right now (especially since the boy situation is somewhat lacking as of late):
-I'm flying to Paris tomorrow afternoon to spend quality time with my favorite grandparents who will be there for a week before going onto Russia. They had my mom when they were really young so they don't smell like
Bengay or play bingo. My grandfather has to be the funniest person I know. I teach him inappropriate sayings,
ie "It's hot as balls in here", "I've got to go pinch a loaf" etc. You know basic potty humor that we think is hilarious!
-My grandmother speaks French and I'm super stoked to be able to get around Paris without being insanely frustrated (at myself) with the language barrier. I somehow always manage to answer them in Spanish at least once.
-I get back from Paris on Monday afternoon and then two days later my best friend CW from Boston and her sister are coming to visit! So excited. Plus CW is 3 months
preggers and I can't wait to see her baby glow. She's still keen to hitting the pubs so I'm also excited to have some new
wing women to help with my missing
mojo! These girls are gorgeous!
-I'm moving into a new flat next Saturday and I'm
soooo excited! It's pretty pimp and newly renovated in a great location. CW is going to stand guard of my crap on the street since she can't lift anything while I drag up my shit to the 3rd floor-only bad thing about it but I figure if I could live in a 5th floor walkup in NYC, I can do it here. Plus I won't have to take my laundry down all of those flights of stairs like before because I have a washer and dryer in my place. Sweet!
-I've been reading "The Secret" over and over again and listening to daily affirmations from "You can heal your life" to try to turn my life around. I'm slowly but surely weeding out my negativity and self doubt and things are looking up.
-Part of the process is forgiving people in your life and just yesterday
Gianluca and I had a nice chat online. He asked how London was and I told him I was really happy to which he replied that I deserve to be happy. Damn straight!
-I haven't heard from
Kanger since our emails last week and I'm okay with that. I know that I will hear from him/see him sometime in the future. The old me planner in me would rationalize exactly when I should expect to hear from him but I'm done with expectations. They only bring disappointment and that is negative. So I know that he will be back in my life as a friend but it's up to the Universe to put it in action. Plus the night I met him his friend Watto was flipping hilarious and I remember thinking I wish I would have talked to him instead. So I would love to hang out with him and his friends again.
-My family friend KS and her husband are moving here and I'm super pumped. KS used to babysit me while our parents went out on the town..although we figured it out and she's only 2 years older than me...was she really that mature? We lived in NYC at the same time so it will be great to have a "family member" across the pond permanently!
-My cousin was here this past week on business. We work for the same company so my coworker/friend HM was able to meet the infamous "attorney" and see first hand of the brutality. He's a great guy and very genuine but a complete and total pansy. I went to get him at the hotel for lunch on Sunday and we started walking to the restaurant and he was like "TC don't walk so fast I'm really run down". Insert
eye roll here. And to top it ALL off he lost
his voice because his sinus's weren't draining.
WTF? And I've never met anyone so full of themselves. At one point he pulled out his blackberry and laid it on the table. After a moment of silence, I was like did you
get a text or an email? Nope...he just took it out so that he could show me that he had one...like I've never
seen one before. Brutal. He also said he would buy my car (which I'm selling if anyone is interested!) if he didn't have "The Porsche" - from the year 1987 and has holey leather seats. He says "The Porsche" like he's driving a brand spanking new one.
-Today I went to Bliss for my redo for my inverted
Brazilian. Chick hurt like a
biotch but was so needed to ummm equal everything out. She was stumped by what the previous girl "did" to me! Total cost of debauchery and recovery: $180 Yikes. Oh yes and I totally am going on a budget when I move. I would like to save money while here (purpose of living abroad) not spending every cent.
Sorry so long...thanks Kat for giving me a swift kick in the arse.
Have a great weekend!
