Red Bull
Hi!!!!! I had such a GREAT night tonight!!! Actually, I had a great day! I thought I'd be really bored at work becuase I wasn't really focused on a major project, but it turned out that I had a ton to do...AND...I got in at 7AM, planning on just leaving earlier to miss traffic, but then ended up staying until almost 6. Which was AWESOME because on Friday I have to take a 1/2 day to pick up my aunt and baby cousin...Anyway, I went to Jennifer's and had dinner as usual, we talked and then I went home. I talked to my grandparents and got a grocery list of "must haves" for then they arrive. Nothing too complicated. Just Rye bread with no seeds, ham, breakfast foods such as muffins or toast, lots of fruit, Salmon for dinner, broccoli, salad, and milk :-) But they promised to take me to Costco or Sams on sunday when we get back, so only the basic staples. Anyway, as we were discussing whether my grandpa should bring long underware and his wool hat and scarf (because I guess it's a cold 70 degrees here compared to Florida's 80 degress ;-), I had a beep from ERIN!!!! I wrapped up the long johns conversation (told Grandpa to forgoe the long underware, and I'd promise to turn on the heat if necessary ;-) I called MY ERIN BACK :-)
THe subject, RED BULL, is a special tribute to her due to our conversation about her New Years eve :-) I won't repeat it because I'm feeling really full from dinner, and I might make myself sick ;-) But needless to say, I think she had a great time :-) hehehe...
ANYWAY...the GOOD NEWS IS!!!! We talked and we are planning a trip for her and Kevo to come to Texas to visit! Maybe in March! And I'll take some time off of work. She'll be on break from school (she just went back to school to get her MASTER's) and Kevo will be just returning from a big training event business trip. Anyway...they are going to check flights and see if they can come and VISIT MEEEE :-)))) I'm so excited! Another fun event to look forward to and keep me happy :-)))
Also, during our conversation we were discussing my upcoming trip to turkey and my turkish lessons...It reminded me, that I just started Chinese lessons with Jennifer. So I taught Erin how to say hello in Chinese. I even learned how to write my name, Jennifer's name, Li-Wei's name, and Seymen's name in chinese characters....and I'm pretty good because I took my handwritten chinese character to Li-Wei (of his name) and asked him to tell me what it said, and he could read that it said his name!!! Yipppee!
Anyway...Erin and I had to switch to Japanese because we both knew it better (thanks to Maki ;-) but here's a little of what I learned today:
Hello --- Nee How <--- This is the word that I taught erin
How are you --- Nee How
Thank You --- Shee Shit
Your Welcome --- Bu shit
I am hungry --- Wa uh la
Are you hungry? -- Ne uh la muh?
I love you --- Wa eye nee
Do you love me? -- Ne eye waa muh?
So anyway, Erin and I talked so much and laughed so much that my throat hurts and I'm not sure I can talk to Seymen. I think that maybe I'll just IM him because he's still at work, and I'm in the typing mood.
OK...so I'm going to go write to him and send Keffer's an e-mail because Erin gave me his e-mail address :-) and I haven't talked to him in FOREVER!! Since her wedding at least!!! And I MISS MY KEFFERS!! And I miss my ERIN and KEVO...I love you guys :0) (Because I know that your going to read this ;-)
