So,
I haven’t updated in a while. I got a tattoo today. It’s the the left of my belly button and it’s the Polish eagle. It looks pretty awesome and I love that it’s so not girly-It’s a freakin’ eagle with talons and a crown. I’ll take a picture of it when I can take the bandage off. It didn’t really hurt that much. It felt like somebody was sort of stabbing me with a sharp staple and then dragging it across my skin. Hm. What else. I got my first pay check last week. But it’s pretty much all gone now. I have gone down from a size 12 to a small 8 (sometimes 6) so I had to buy new clothes. I’m going home for a weekend at the end of September and I’ll be able to bring back some of the smaller stuff. Grad school was a really unhealthy time for me food-wise. Here I walk A LOT. Plus, I go to the lake to walk/jog. And I don’t go to Chili’s and Wendy’s anymore. In fact, I haven’t had any fast food since I moved here. Seriously.
This weekend I discovered the world’s most amazing farmers’ market. I have to take the bus to get to it, but it’s HUGE and has so much stuff. I bought loads of fresh fruit and vegetables and it was way cheaper than things were at the Carrboro farmers’ market. For the past few weeks, I have been searching for the perfect vanilla latte. And I finally found it. The coffeeshop is called Intelligentsia and it reminds me a little bit of Open Eye.
What else? I got my hair done on Friday. It’s darker and redder than it’s ever been. And I ended up buying some hair products (that were expensive). But I thought that I might try them this time and if there is a noticeable difference in my hair, then great!
When I went walk-jogging yesterday, I wore one of my UNC shirts (it’s blue and says CAROLINA in huge white letters). One guy who ran by said, “CAROLINA?!?!?” It’s a weird question, exclamation, yell. Another guy yelled, “Go Duke!” And another one showed me his UNC calf tattoo.
Work is going pretty well too. We’ve been making playgroup better. And I’m getting some older kids (like 4, 5, and 7). And a Polish adult.
I think that’s all.
