Today marks the official two week mark (is there an official two week mark?) of living in the UK! i'm still freezing my ass off though and desperately trying not to be bothered by the lack of sunlight. Damn I miss the sun in the Middle East. i don't miss the brown, dry, dull coloring though.
Although this is only day 2 of my position as "house manager" (i love that title) this is officially day 1 of my eat-healthy-no-more-cider-or-else-i'm-really-going-to-blow-up diet. it's challenging being home and not stuffing my face every five mins. i do think i've been successful today.
In my quest to be perfect little house manager i made the red sauce for spaghetti dinner this afternoon (yummy). of course my neighbor than came over shortly after i had tasted and declared it perfect to invite us over for a barbie (british for barbecue not to play with barbie dolls). HELLO? i need more notice than three hours!!!! i apologetically declined and instead we are going for drinks. It's Bunny's last night before he goes away for...two nights.
Upon walking into town this morning (well it was very late in the morning) (almost the afternoon) like the well adjusted europeans we are i left all of the buying for the way home which turned out to be a HUGE mistake. How was I supposed to know the butcher and the deli would close at 1pm? what self-respecting butcher closes at 1pm? i still have to find out why. hmmm...
oh i have to order the labels for Emily's uniform (and than sew them all in to EVERY article of clothing for the uniform). yawn.
