i'm still alive

things have been great with my mom in prague. delicious meals, tons of sights, train rides listening to bob dylan on our way home from bohemian switzerland of the czech republic. she leaves tomorrow morning. we have one more day to spend in europe together then matt and i have to pack our asses off tomorrow and head out early friday morning to the airport.

i have a feeling i'll have no time for much blogging, but in the meantime... i have to think about changing the name of my blog. it's not going to make any sense once i'm back in floriduh. 

MOVING SUCKS.
LEAVING EUROPE SUCKS.

OH WELL---

new chapter ahead.

damn.

this is me.

so, i am sitting in friends cafe. i just got here from finishing up my LAST lesson in prague. it feels really weird. not believable yet. i think if it weren't for my mom's flight being TWENTY FOUR hours delayed, i'd be a bit more chipper right now. but no, i'm not. the skies are clear and it's nice and sunny. i should be with her RIGHT NOW. but no, she is in queens, at some [friend of a] friends apartment. i just got off the phone with her and she definitely seemed to have the same nite as me. as we were trying to fall asleep all we could think about was how soon she SHOULD be landing. ugh. i don't want her to lose one day in prague, so we're going to see if she can change her flight to a day later. i hope so!

now i guess i have more an excuse to clean a bit... it's not like anyone else is going to do it. i swept every room in the house this morning(minus the roommates) and it was filthy. i can't wait for that day again where it'll just be and my ocd rules of cleanliness. here's to hoping(once again)!

woo. trying to take a deep breath. really, 8 more days in prague? wow. i really can't believe this. florida, please be good to me while i'm there. i don't know if i could forgive you if you fail.

i love my shoes!

fridays.

so it is official, my mom is coming to visit during our last week here in may. i am beyond excited. i've already started a list of about 20 things i want to show her... monuments, parks, scenery, views, cafes, restaurants... ah, i wish she could be here tomorrow! this is just the best news ever.

anyway, i had 7 boys in my class today. nothing to say.

cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeese.

anyhow, our friend katelyn will be leaving dear prague in a week to go travel more and then is moving back to the states. we have been seeing a lot of her lately to make up for a bit of lost time, but it's been real, yo. :) tonite we get to finally see her flat while enjoying some wine and snacks. then tomorrow we may go visit karlovy vary, a small spa town in the czech republic 2 hrs away. hopefully the weather will be ok, even though today it was snowing(whyyyyy?)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOMMY!!!! and to my SISTER, MANI, YESTERDAY! i called my mom today and she told me she is making it a top priority to come visit us in prague in may right before we return home!!! i cannot stress enough how thrilled i am. i hope and pray this really does happen because i will have so much more to look forward to now.

i have the biggest smile on my face right now!

this ones for you, mom;

falafel, tabouli, babaganoush, dolmas oh my!

the other nite for a friend of our's birthday, we went to a lebanese/indian/middle eastern restaurant. it was really good so matt and i went there for lunch today. mmm how i love this type of food. my mom always made tabouli (salad of parsley, mint, bulgar wheat, lemon juice, olive oil) for us growing up, along with papadom( lentil cracker) it just brings me back when i eat this stuff. it is definitely one of my favorite cuisines. 

he was dreaming

i miss my moms cooking. soooooo much.
