I Enjoy Being a Girl

I love Sunny


Girl time

I am just in a girly mood this evening. I just finished trying on a couple different dresses, trying to decide on my MC ensemble for Saturday's festival show. I am debating between my classic black, form-fitting dress and my black, blue, and pink floral print dress that I bought at a vintage shop in Rome this summer. Hmmm. If anyone knows the dresses of which I speak, feel free to add in your two cents!

I apologize for the lack of photos as of late. I have more pictures of my kids that I could be posting, I just haven't. Don't worry, there will definitely be photos from festival.

This just in: the venue has given us a maximum time allowance of two and a half hours for festival. THIS IS SUCH GREAT NEWS!!! I seriously thought the show was going to go on for four. Tony and I have a killer script. Who knows if the parents will really be able to understand it all...I suppose it's more for our amusement than anything. Tony and I jive well and have very similar humour, so we feed off each other well. The snippets that Karen has heard have caused her to burst out laughing and say things like, "This is going to be funnier than Billy Crystal at the Oscars!" Well, we'll see. Lots of silly jokes, Korean and Canadian stereotype comments, and references to the kids' acts.

I am not sure if I have mentioned this before, but I adore Tony. He reminds me so much of Mike it feels like I am working with my brother. Ok. Enough gushy, mushy stuff.

I have to say that my Barcelona coat is a huge hit. I can't go out without at least a couple people commenting on it. I swear it's the reason people talk to me and I have friends...by association with my coat. Boys and girls alike, it gets everyone talking.

When I went to Happidus last Friday, I stepped into the elevator with three Korean men. They insisted I get in first. Then they all started speaking amongst themselves, in Korean. Then I heard the word "pretty" and they all just turned to face me. Then one asked where I was from. Anyways, they all got out at my floor (it wasn't where they needed to get out) to walk me to the door of the bar and hold it for me. It was a strange experience, to say the least.

I met up with Ashley, my airplane friend, for coffee last evening. We ended up meeting up with a couple of my coworkers at the Dugout (another popular expat bar) to watch the Asia Cup qualifying football match for the World Cup. It was Korea versus Japan. Sadly, Japan won. The game went into overtime and then a shoot-out as well! Intense. It was a fun night out...it's good to changes things up during the week a little. Ashley and I met some other girls there and ended up playing cards with them. Friends everywhere you go here, I swear. It's great!

That's enough out of me. Tea and reading time, and then off to bed! Happy Wednesday.
