Yep. I'm totally in America now!
I brought 1 dollar bill back from Spain, and I spent it on a Mountain Dew in the airport. So worth it!
I have watched Teen Mom 2, 16 & Pregnant, Toddlers and Tiaras, My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, and a whole slew of other trashy tv shows. What a great use of my time at home!
I have spent a day baking with my grandma, and wandering the aisles of grocery stores in amazement at the options available. I want to buy EVERYTHING! And I ate sloppy joes, which was pretty freakin' delicious. I don't remember ever loving sloppy joes as much as I did yesterday. They were so good.
I spent today at home, doing absolutely nothing. And it was kind of wonderful.
I've seen a lot of family, but I haven't seen most of my friends yet. I will see them before the week is over, though. And I'm so excited!
This trip home has pretty much broken the bank, and I don't really have much money to be throwing around. But I'm so happy to be here.
Here is a short list of things I would like to do before I head back to Spain:
See everybody. duh.
Go downtown to see the tree, etc.
Eat at Fatheads. Yum.
Go to the mall.
Go see a movie.
Do something awesome on New Years Eve.
Go out with my cousins, to celebrate Andy's 21st birthday.
Go to Target.
I feel like there should be many more things on this list, but that will have to do for now.
I'm on my way to the library. How exciting!
So jealous! Target and Sloppy Joes sound AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteHahaha Fatheads, I remember that. Oh, and Trader Joe's should also be on the list. I remember that was my biggest (good) culture shock when i got back to the US from Spain. Have fun girl!
ReplyDeleteok soooo i totally miss all those trashy shows......!!!!!! and umm because of your post on facebook i had to go and make sloppy joes and also i would love to go to fat heads but they don't have one out here! :( oh and i also want to see you :(
ReplyDeleteAs a fellow American who will soon be returning to California after almost 5 months in Spain, this post echoes my feelings completely. It's funny the things we miss while we're gone, that we don't even notice while we're home. One thing I can't wait to get back to is 24-hour convenience stores. I have never been able to get used to the hours here - I mean, closing in the middle of the afternoon? Seriously? And forget about getting anything done on Sunday. Also, I can't even tell you how excited I am to see peanut butter on the grocer's shelf again, haha. I wish you a very American Christmas!
