Today, you've missed 106 degrees in PDX. This is the 4th day with 100+ temps--- you've figured out how to survive that--- we haven't!ABrownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518717340795257741.post-40294090617660390852009-07-22T23:16:31.180-07:002009-07-22T23:16:31.180-07:00God, that sounds like me.

My god, the bitch level was amazing. NOt that Thailand is evil like that spreadsheet project--but I think you get the jist. But maybe that doesn't apply to you since you left us hanging!!!Bezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11359396377873745454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518717340795257741.post-7104506242788462582009-07-22T06:32:40.523-07:002009-07-22T06:32:40.523-07:00Interesting that you should ask that Melissa....st...Interesting that you should ask that Melissa....stay tuned.Rebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835352917180439099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518717340795257741.post-77783680303814108252009-07-22T06:32:00.891-07:002009-07-22T06:32:00.891-07:00Hang in there!

From what I can tell you haven't done any sewing or knitting this entire year. Just curious.Melissahttp://indigomouse.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518717340795257741.post-66829378579007631402009-07-22T06:32:00.647-07:002009-07-22T06:32:00.647-07:00Susie - I don't regret coming here, not a bit,...Susie - I don't regret coming here, not a bit, it's just feeling a bit long right now. As for a 'next time' all I know is I wouldn't do this alone again. Need to obtain a travel partner before the next adventure!<br /><br />Jonathan - don't worry.. I'm not comparing, I went and edited that paragraph to be more clear. I'm just sad that I'm missing big events in my friends lives. And you know, there's nothing wrong with the ring & creature creating... just not really in my plans.Rebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835352917180439099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518717340795257741.post-31157470826527031372009-07-21T19:33:37.265-07:002009-07-21T19:33:37.265-07:00It's one thing to not enjoy your situation bas...It's one thing to not enjoy your situation based on some objective factors (like not having anymore friends around), but don't compare it with what your friends are doing!!<br /><br />I bet you anything you friend who is stuck with those twins is thinking she had taken a year abroad.<br /><br />And married? Who wants to get married anymore? If you ask me, living abroad for 15 months is much more of an accomplishment than popping a ring on your finger, spreading your legs and shooting out a few little creatures.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10199773903749578402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518717340795257741.post-26965361425225012342009-07-21T18:02:08.580-07:002009-07-21T18:02:08.580-07:00Some of your friends got married and had kids. Wh...Some of your friends got married and had kids. What were you doing? Living out a lifelong dream of living abroad! It is rough not having a social circle, but sometimes newly marrieds and new moms and dads feel overwhelmed and wonder what the heck they are doing too. <br /><br />I had kids when I was 33 but I never did get to live abroad and I don't think I ever will. This gives me a pang of regret. <br /><br />Hang in there. This too shall pass. Don't fall into the trap of regretting perfectly sound well thought out decisions! Next time you'll know to try something new for 9 months instead of 12. ;-)IamSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477300247354661564noreply@blogger.com
