Good: Sarah has some workout DVD's so she gets to stay fit.
Bad: Stuart got roped into "blasting those abbs" and "focusing on the powerhouse" Pilaties??? Really Stuart?
Easy: The mangos grow on trees here, along with almost everything else you can think of.
Hard: If you want chicken, you have to kill it first.
Good: The view from our back door.
Bad: They just fertilized, or maybe someone did some "personal" fertilizing in the field close by.
This is the view from our back door.
Easy: Vendors walk around trying to sell you nail polish, or scrabble, (bought both) or lawn chairs (didnt buy) or electric fly swatters (totally bought one of those)
Hard: Finding conditioner for sarah or deoderant that is not the roll on kind (sorry if you use roll on, but it is weird)

Easy: You can arrive anywhere 1 hour late and it doesnt make any difference, infact they probably haven't even started.
Hard: They will do the same to you.
Easy: Having a house helper who does the dishes, makes your bed, cooks lunch and cleans up in general (its kinda like having a full time mom who never tells you to get off your butt and do it yourself)
Hard: Not feeling like you are actually being a lazy butt.

Hard: We miss our friends and family.

ReplyDeleteI am so excited to be able to see the view from your window in person and enjoy all the EASY stuff!!!
ReplyDeleteNo snow!!! That's terrible. And I think the pink is a bit much for me (and Hannah). Candle light is good:) I know a guy that works for Skype in Stockholm. At least you know the chicken is fresh:)
ReplyDeleteNice, your pink shelf would go well in our apt. Yes, it'd go well with our pink and glittery (yes that's right, glittery) walls. On one hand, its pretty tragic, on the other, Hey its Asia! We tried to get the landlord to paint over it before we moved in, but we're pretty sure we hurt his feelings when we asked, so i'm going to wait a month before I ask again
ReplyDeleteDid all the furniture come in that colour? Are you living the Matel dream?
