Thanksgiving

It has been about 3 weeks since I last wrote this blog so again I am apologising for a lack of commitment. So I am hoping that this little section will redeem me, but even if it doesn’t I’ll be honest and say that I probably won’t loose much sleep on it, after all I will be home in a little over 3 weeks so we can all sit down and talk about it then.

So now it’s the informational part filling you all in on the events that have taken place over the last little while. My tray of malteser squares have been devoured completely all except a few crumbs on the base of the tray. There is a huge dent in my chocolate stash but I think there is still enough to see me through to the end. And finally, Phillipe, our pet mouse!! I never ever seen him or heard him so I’m guessing that he left my room and moved onto greener pastures. But, Chris heard a noise one evening, a mouse was stuck in his trap and screaming his little lungs out in desperation to escape, well to be fair I would be too. But he never got free, Chris broke the little guys neck and tossed it in the bin. Goodnight Mr Mousey.

So enough about that, it time for thanksgiving, Chris and I were invited to spend the break at our friend Danielle’s house and to share our first thanksgiving experience with her family. It was awesome, a really fun time had by all. We played a massive amount of Dutch Blitz, a card game invented by the Dutch Amish in the . . . well a long time ago. Have any of you ever played it? I know mum, dad and my family have we may even own the game. But anyway, the point of it was; that it was fun. We also just hung out with the family and had fun sharing stories about one another and we watched a colossal amount of movies. We went shopping on Saturday, longest day ever but I got all my families Christmas presents sorted for 50% off in the after turkey day sales ☺
And last, but not least we had GOOD food, I mean, awesome turkey. The potatoes and yams were ok but I was just interested in the deep fried turkey and freshly roasted turkey and the stuffing. Was so good, especially eating canteen food all semester, it was nothing short of bliss ☺ It made me really look forward to Mrs A’s immense Christmas dinner when I arrive back on the better side of the pond ☺

Also, I got my camera back from Sony, its working like a treat, its pretty much brand new again and I didn’t have to spend one cent ☺ so I think I’ll wait until I get home to show you all my photos as I cant be bothered uploading them now haha. There are probably like 400 or so, so please understand. Thanks, I knew you would.

So three weeks left of Moody, I cant believe it, its flown in so fast and I feel like I have been away for an age, but it has been great, I would recommend this sort of experience to anyone, well worth it.

Laura Kate and a Truckload of Chocolate :)

Its Monday evening, Laura and Kate have gone home again and I’m back to the usual routine of wake up, go to class, work, play football, eat, do homework, hangout with the peeps and go to bed. That sounds so boring doesn’t it!

So Laura, my precious little sister and Kate my mate (thanks for that little nickname jenny, I stole it from you) were here and it was Soooo much fun, I just loved it. Do you like that girls, woohoo inside joke, haha.

Wow, I veer off topic a lot and I feel like this blog is always disjointed so I’m sorry for that. See what I mean I’m off topic again. So back to the real reason for writing this, Laura and Kate came here for a few days and to be honest with you all I really enjoyed it, it was very refreshing and I loved seeing my little sister ☺

When I first heard they were coming over I was thinking to myself, is there any point its only going to be for 4 days you will be jet lagged the whole time, but oh how I was wrong, they seemed to get round more of the city in one day than I have since I have been here. Infact I don’t think I would ever have went up the Sears Tower if they hadn’t come over, so thanks guys. So, while I am thanking you, I suppose I would have to direct another deep thanks and gratitude to my dear mother for the colossal amount of tea and chocolate you sent with the girls, it is AWESOME!!!!!! I never thought chocolate tasted so good until last Wednesday, I missed it so but now I have a tonne so it will last me until I have to leave, I hope.

So on Saturday when Chris and I came back from leaving Laura and Kate to the airport we went to my room to watch a DVD, The Pagemaster, what a classic!! But that’s not what I was going to talk about, I fell asleep after about 15minutes and Chris woke me up to say there was a mouse under the table, yes that’s right we have a mouse in my room, haha I’m a slob. Well actually I’m not I don’t know why there is a mouse in there, my room is tidy and clean and I have mine and Bens food in a sealed drawer or the fridge. So Chris and I got a little trap and hoped when I woke up next morning that the mouse would be stuck to it, but nope, little Phillipe is still roaming around my room.

It’s almost midnight, I’m away to make a cuppa tea and go to my bed.
