Back from Mid-Year!

I guess I wasn't successful with making either of my 2 matches happen.......sadness.....

but I had a lot of fun! I successfully played in AND WON 2 football games! (wow....I just rediscovered the country radio switch on itunes...this is awesome!) I got to hang out with the Liverpool, Paris, Sweden, and Grenada teams, as well as all my Italian peeps!

So some random comments from this past week or so:

I got to wear my flip flops for the first time since November! YAY!
We had an interesting array of food, but good!
I have this syndrome called ATMS.....Afraid To Miss Something.....and it was in full swing this week! I would stay up till all hours just because other people were!
I have really missed the sound of the ocean (don't lie, Salerno doesn't have a beach with sounds.....the waves just lap up on the dirty sand), especially when we left our windows open all night and we woke up to the sound of the waves......

There was one momentous occasion where I was talking and I genuinely did an Italian hand gesture.....I have been around it so much that I have made it a part of my communication!

Another thing I noticed when I was in Liverpool........I ALWAYS look "left, right, left" when I cross the street......its always been a part of my life......and when I went there, I had to TRAIN my mind to look "right, left, right".....and it was hard! It seems like such an easy thing to do!

On the way back yesterday we stopped off in Rome for lunch with our friends and a cappuccino.....yeah.......lets revisit that statement......we stopped off in Rome (we live somewhere near Rome where we would travel through there to go HOME) for lunch with our friends and a cappuccino (we KNOW people who live in Rome and we can just hang out with them for lunch and a cappuccino)....I think that is CRAZY that we can just stop off in Rome for a couple hours! We didn't really do anything touristy! We killed some time before we met the Rome team by looking at a couple street artists' work, but that was the MOST touristy thing we did! I am so amused.....

Yes, we did go back to Liverpool......and we had a great time! KC made some awesome taco/chili dish, and we had Kentucky Derby Pie and Cheesecake for dessert.....I got to go to the top of the anglican cathedral, see MUNICH (awesome movie), and then get a curry! YAY Rich gave us his own tour of the LP on the way to the movie theater to see the movie times, and it was fun! Thanks dude!

AHHHH!! There was much tv watching there, I got to watch some One tree Hil, Scrubs, Futurama, 8 Simple Rules, and Sportnight......AND I got to see an episode of Family Guy!!!!!! I was SO HAPPY to do that....it was amazing :)

Wow this a bunch of random things.....but oh well!

Good to hear you guys had fun in Liverpool. It was cool hanging out with y'all albeit briefly and I hope and trust that Italy is fun, fun, even if they do speak some funny language.

whoa, forget training yourself to look "right, left, right"...i don't even do the "left, right, left" yet. haha. i totally watched the entire first season of the OC this past week...it was absolutely amazing. now i'm debating whether to go scrounge around for season two -- very gratifying yet probably rather *less* good for things like school, which happens now and then out here. last but not least, don't worry...i miss waves too. on that note, **when are you coming to hawaii??**
