hammock sitting in the sunshine

May the sunshine warm your heart when you feel like your world is failling apart.
May the wind refresh your face when you have to stand in one place.
May the earth revive your soul and help make you feel whole.
May the water from your tears only be happy ones.

Living the life of a #deadbeatexpat

So it is day 3 of living back in Kansas City. I have a 5 year old roomate and for the last 3 mornings I have woken up to Cars with eyeballs, the Cars names are Ramon and Doc. Not creepy at all. Today is the last day I am waking up to those fellas. Among the other decorations and such in my room is a lifelike naked baby doll with a chewed off foot. Needless to say when my brother goes to school dolly is going in the trash. Just a little redecorating. Lol. My first night home after being waaaaay jetlagged the bro and I ended up going to bed at the same time. Well he watches cartoons before he goes to sleep so in our shared bedroom I fell asleep to SpongeBob Squarepants. Only I didn't really get to fall asleep because little homeboy keeps asking me why I am going to sleep instead of watching SB SqPants. In what universe would somebody rather sleep than watch cartoons? Mine kid. I am so happy to be back with him though, missed my CocoBear somethin feirce.

Really missing my Frenchy Family like A LOT. My lovely american ladies bubble girl and tanker paws and my scottish lady McG XoXo
AND my favorite scottish lasses Amanda, Cheryl and Aneta ;-*
So happy to be back home with all my sexy Midwest Lovers!!!

Adventures in Scotland

I have officially been introduced to Scotland. I flew into Edinburgh on Tuesday and was met with a stolen/borrowed BFF and her Giggity. I was treated to my first pub experience and met all of my Frenchy Scottish Girlfriend's pals. The next day I had the best tour guide ever and I saw 5 castles. Yes count that 5 CASTLES! I drove by hundreds of sheep and baby lambs and I wanted to snatch them all up. I saw my very first Highland Cow. Oh My God!! If I I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it!! They are crazy hairy! There will be photos in a blog coming soon. The next thing I saw in Scotland blows my mind.. a dry ski run. What the fuck is this you ask? It is the side of a huge hill covered in white carpet that people ski and snowboard down. There is no snow!! I mean. There was NO snow. They said that this is common and thy have them in the states. Not sure if I was being trolled. Lol.

My next day in Scotland my lovely host and tour guide took me to the amazing Kelvin Grove Museum. It was AWESOME!! After that we went for a pint in Tennets an fabulous pub. While enjoying my very first pint of Guinness in a pub in the UK we smelled smoke. Sure enough looking out the window there is debris falling from the building because a flat above the pub is on fire. We went outside for obvious reasons and this flat is majorly on fire. Huge like I have never seen. The hilariously part is we were some of the only ones to leave the pub. The hardcore old Scotsman had to finish their pints. Lol. Memorable way to enjoy my first UK Guinness.

Tomorrow I am going on a sub crawl which is when you get on the tube and get off on every stop and walk to the nearest pub for an alcoholic beverage. Then proceed to the next stop on the train for another and another. There are 15 stops let's pray I can hang. More adventures to follow....

Differences

So I am in Scotland right now. It's wonderful! They have the funniest looking taxi cabs. I can't wait to post pictures! When I got into the car at the airport the steering wheel was on the wrong side. Now this shouldn't be such a big deal but my goofy as found this fascinating. The cars driving on the opposite isn't a huge deal, and then you get to a round about. Oh my. Like I said I am a goofball. But everything is opposite! Even the trains go the opposite way.

I had my first Tennament pint. I am gonna get me some fish and chips and I will get my ultimate UK experience. Stay tuned this I only after the first day...
