anyone here?

[Kati]

Hi girls,

I’M BACK… well kind of. Actually I’m back home since last Friday BUT had a really busy week so far and therefore no time to say ‘Hi’ on here. So I’m saying a big ‘HI, HOW ARE WE ALL DOING?’ now . But I’m also saying ‘BYE’ again as I will be off to London/Glasgow/Edinburgh on Monday.

But I wanted to say that I had a great four days over in Dublin with a really good friend of mine. I just really LOVE this city. Other people might find it old, disgusting and dirty but for me it’s the most wonderful city in the whole wide world . I just love the feeling of leaving the plane and stepping on Irish ground thinking: I’m home again! I can’t really describe it, but it feels SO GOOD. I feel SO at home there that I was probably born in the wrong country. I’m sure was meant to be Irish, but somehow that didn’t happen .

AND I had a great week travelling through Ireland with my parents and bf. I SO love this country. If you could marry a country, I would marry Ireland – that’s for sure!
It was so unreal to finally show my parents my second home <3! They really enjoyed it. My Dad now likes to think he is a little Irish, too. Even though driving on the wrong side of the street wasn’t for him – “DAAAAAAD! They are driving on the LEFT side!” “OH, I forgot!” – & he forgot about it MANY times, but nothing happened – LOL. Mums’ English is so much better than I thought it is. She was able to understand so many things which was great for me as I didn’t have to translate EVERYTHING. And my bf loves me so he loves Ireland, too ;D.

I’m currently uploading many pictures. I’ll be putting them up on my MySpace as I don’t really wanna put them up on a public message board like this one. So if you like to see the pictures and have a MySpace page (and haven’t been added already) then just write me a PM and I’ll add you as soon as I can. Or if you find me on MySpace then just send me a request . Anyway pictures won’t be up before September 14th, so no need to hurry .

So I’ll leave you with that for now and say: See you girls! Have a great weekend and see you all in about a week .

Just called them as Anika go a letter of refusal but I didn't. I can't remember if we sent the applications in one envelope... anyway, they obviously thought we were one person and thus didn't care for my application. And now they'll reconsider my application.

So no definite answer/decision so far ?

Glad you're back for a moment anyway, Kati, and glad you had fun in Ireland... I love it too! Have fun in London and Edinburg! I'm jealous! They are 2 of my favorites! Never been to Glasgow though... Would love to see it too.

Kati: So glad you're back and thank you for the wonderful account of your trip! I loved reading about it and can't wait to hear about your next trip as well!! I guess I'll have to break down and get a myspace account so I can view your pics! Are you on Facebook by any chance? Apparently I'm the only one out of the loop!! Anyway,.............Safe Travels to You! (clink wine glasses together) Cheers!

[gray]

Good to see you're back, Kati! Your description really makes me want to go back to Ireland... anyway, can't wait to see your photos and enjoy your next journey!

No, nothing is decided... which is a terrible thing as we have to look for a flat and move. And if Anika and I end up in two different cities, it will all be even more complicated...

White candles? Yes, but only one as white as the mug! ;D

Are you guys on crack?? Let me guess, you also see dead people right?

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

How scary!!!! I don't like mirrors just for that, all those ghost stories about dead people on the other side of the mirror...
But did anyone find the white mug? LOL

[missalabama]

LOL! The seeing dead people was a reference to "The Sixth Sense"... One of the few scary movies that I actually loved, though I had to close my eyes on the gory parts... Hehe!

Yes, I saw the mug! Did you see the Buddha?

[Lucy]

Humm... I don't remember, maybe I didn't see it, let's go! *run out to search*

The sixth Sense is my favorite Bruce Willis movie.

www.imdb.com/title/tt0167404/

Oopsie... You were referring to the Buddha, weren't you? It's up there on the ledge with the toys... LOL! I wonder if it's still there. Heheheh!

I am the same way about scary movies! I avoid them like the plague! But I was dragged, kicking and screaming to see The Sixth Sense and I really liked that movie regardless of the fact that I had to cover my eyes through half of it!

I saw the mug, but I will have to grab another glass of wine and look for Buddha! I did however, see..............I think..................a headless action figure of some type!..............I think!

[missalabama]

I was the same way, Devlin... I didn't want to see The Sixth Sense either and I loved it even though I also had to close my eyes through half of it... LOL!

I don't see a headless action figure. The one I see looks like it does have a head. I see another one that looks kind of like the Michelin Man meets R2D2. Hahahaha! Speaking of headless toys, did anoyne else ever take Barbie's head off, put your grandmother's diamond engagement ring on her neck as a necklace and then put Barbie's head back on her?

Hey Loraline, are you out here? We miss you!

Just got back from an impromptu weekend in Iowa and Nebraska! Was way more fun than I ever thought the Midwest could be! Visited the Morton Mansion and The Lewis and Clark Visitors Center. Some of the best hiking trails I've been on since childhood visits to Colorado! Who knew So much beauty was so close to home!? I'm vowing to go again soon,.......... I love that historical stuff!!
