Which is scarier? I would totally camp out on the island. Now the deep fried mars bar is what really terrifies me! Should I forget the clothes and bring 2.5 weeks worth of fruits and veggies with me when I come?
When in Rome Is your frequent use of indie sort of like when you used to go around calling everything "prep" except in reference to things you think are cool instead of things you don't like?
Hey, you went to my scotch's home
Somehow many years ago Dewars became my scotch of choice. I saw this photo, so apparently you and the bottle in my living room now have something in common.
Take care,
Uncle Mike
The universal language of murder Since I just took a little trip to some old mining towns nearby yesterday, and then read your blog, I am left with the belief that the only universal language people speak is that of oppression, land theft, and murder. Ok, prostitution seems to be a common theme in southwest mining towns as well. Whatever happened to smiles and laughter?
I just have one question: How on earth did Wallace use a corpse as a weapon? Three months until I get to come visit - start preparing yourself now!
Okay, I got a bunch when I went to St. Andrews. We were surprised that sea glass still existed. We never see them on LI (the two people I was with were also from LI). When are you available for skypage?
Don't get eaten by a monster! Maybe if the father had gotten the attention as well, it would have taken away from the girl's heroism, suggesting that women are only brave and strong when following a male role model. On the other hand, it's not like she actually did it alone. Bring me back some sea glass please! I swam and collected some shells on the beach last week in Florida. I thought I saw sea glass, but it turned out to be baby Man of War jelly fish - not a good substitution. A week back in the desert and I am already missing the ocean. Off to swim at the pool - poor substitute for the ocean, but easier for swimming laps. Skype soon please.
My first time reading, very fun
I just read what I think is your first entry, and will move on to the second. I will subscribe.
One of these days, maybe you'll write something and I will be Gob Smocked. An expression I heard from a Scottish friend here. Know what that means? I will tell you if you can't find out. I think maybe it is really spelled Gab Smacked, but sounds like Gob Smocked to me!
So what do they call people who are actually chubby? Hey bethie! Christmas Crackers are more of a UK thing - my former boss whose husband was from Liverpool had to hunt them down every year for Christmas. They must be gaining popularity though, because last year I found them for her in Target in Tucson.
Your days sound much more entertaining than mine at the moment. I will console myself with the knowledge that it's pretty much always sunny here and you probably won't see the sun for another 5 months.
Sounds awesome! While your enjoying Edinburgh you can visulize your south florida cousin trying to deal with 5 inches of snow for the first time...lol Its a pretty funny sight! Anyway its sounds like your already having an awesome time. I can't wait to see pictures. Love ya!
Didn't you know he's my cousin? Ah, good ole Ashton. By now I just tell people, yes, he is my cousin and leave them to wonder. Also, too late now, but had you called your sister for some packing advice, you would have known that there is a 220V hair iron from Spain in the closet in my NY bedroom that you could have taken and just used an outlet adapter. Let that be a lesson to you...always seek advice from your wise, sage older sister! Hehe. Glad you're having fun.

Did you enjoy that Mars Bar? Looks strange. I like the pictures of the island, village, and vaults.
