randoms...

Well we've been back for almost 7 weeks and that is just crazy...it seems like we have only been back a week three weeks top. I still have not ventured on the train/tube by myself yet but thats coming.... I think...  We got grown up plates!! (you know the kind where they actually cost more than a dollar and you dont just buy them coz they 'will do' you actually like them) I never apperciated grown up plates until now...and our TV is getting delievered on Monday...we can only watch so many DVD's and claim that we dont need a TV because we like to read one of our many leather bound books and stuff and play music ....I need commercials...I need to stop watching a live stream of eagles whoes eggs are about to hatch because I am having withdraawls from reality TV... I need catch up on terrible celeb gossip...ok I dont NEED to but you catch my drift... THEY HAVE MASSIVE BUMBLEBEES

deliverer of death ^

It’s all Spicoli’s fault BTW

  here and they like to fly into our flat and scare me to death, I had a good hour and a half stand off with one before I got him out...it was traumatic. On a lighter note we seem to have a lady bugs everywhere...but they are cute so I cant be too upset. I finally got my national insurance number and starting to apply for jobs...which is also just weird. All it seems I hear is  "Americans' just sound dumb"... alright cool so how on earth am I going to sound smart on a job app?? But thats a whole other thing, I just need to buck-up and have the "I am American and I can do anything...oh but did i mention I'm rather charming" thinking again. I've done a bit of traveling with mum-in-law and the sis-in-law... this place is BEAUTIFUL, the country side and the old towns everything...well not everything Ware is kinda out of sorts and Harlow is just..
.dont even get me started....oh and the beach I went to with mum, Brighton
was alll pebbels it was crazy! Also the weather really hasnt been "gloomy and raining all the time" like everyone promised... as I type there are amazing white fluffy clouds and super blue sky...AND we didn't even take our coats into London this weekend. (Oh and a side note when the heck did I get so old?? I used to be able to run off of like 3 hours sleep and be awesome now I am zombie like with anything less than 6.)

Oh and my darling husband played at the local acoustic club at the Half Moon pub...and he was ammmmazing! I was such a proud wife, I would upload the recording but he just might hurt me if I do.

 and now for some random thoughts and facts:

- I do in fact have an accent over here and sometimes people dont understand my American-ness :(
-People will always either offer you tea or some other type of drink within about 10 minutes of coming in...its awesome
-radiators make great towel warmers
-getting everything sorted to even start to find a job is insane
- everyone thinks the high schools back in the US are exactly like either High School Musical/90210/Glee
-London is insane and still a bit intimidating
-I dont like foxs' they screech like dying things at all hours of the night...
- I love a Sunday roast
-not everyone is grumpy just most
-frying pans only stay "non-stick" for so long
-husbands are amazing for taking out the massive dead bumble bee that you discover in your bed room when you come home from a weekend away
-i miss American food
-I now know how to send sprinkle cupcakes to my friends
-a dance party by yourself on the train is not as much fun as in the comfort of your own car...and your husband will still look at you funny...if not more so...
