Shoes and Eurotrash
So today was kinda interesting. This morning I had some errands to run downtown for the youth drama on Saturday and dragged John down there with me.....little did he know that downtown is also the shoe shop district mwwaaaahaaaahaaaahaaaaaa!!!! It's only fair that he be initiated into this experience as it will also be a lifetime commitment in June when he says 'i do'!! However, I did take him to Starbucks and introduced him to a 'Mocha Coconut Frapaccino'..yes all you American Starbucks fans...we have extra special European versions of your menu. I have a feeling little stops like that will ease his torture and he may even eventually suggest indulging in my shopping addiction! (hey...I can always hope!)We returned to find Dad still struggling with the infamous wardrobe. The curse of the useless instructions and bad handicraft was in full swing and I was surprised he wasn't rocking back and forth, screwdriver in hand and muttering 'Piece A connects to Part F'! John and I sent him away to refuel with lunch whilst we re-arranged a few hinges and finally got it looking somewhat like the picture on the box!!
This evening we went to Fridays for dinner with a friend of mine from work and her American husband. It was nice for John to meet someone who can understand and sympathise with the vast culture shock ... although he wasn't a great help. It was more a case of 'do you like pancakes...yeah they don't have the same kinds here'...'what about sausage?....make sure you have some in June coz you wont find them again in Cyprus'!!! And although I was insulted several times for being a 'dull Euro-trash Britt', the evening was fairly pleasant!! I'm sure we will go out with them for dinner again some time.
We are very excited about everyone's positive feedback concerning this blog. We love logging in and reading your comments. It makes us feel more connected with our loved ones around the world. Now for a little slap on the wrist for my people in the UK....er...hello? anybody want to contribute?...come on you're making me look bad! you're totally letting down the euro-trash side of our family! :P
John and I are currently working on a reward for all you commenting folk...yes...that's right...for your eyes only, we are going to publish the first exclusive never before seen pictures of the legendary wardrobe! If that doesn't make you come back and see us...then nothing will!
