Lets Celebrate!

{This pictures has nothing to do with my post but Matt did this last night during our little date night and I thought it was really cool}

Yesterday I had a few strokes of random luck.
I was just in the right place at the right time.

Clearly, I found these happenings reason enough to celebrate
so I headed over to Debbie's Cookies, the local American Bakery in Cyprus.

It is the most quaint little shop filled with glass cases with every cake, cookie, cupcake, pie, and muffin you could imagine on display.
{I keep wanting to try the banana chocolate chip muffin but they are always out}

The smell of fresh pastries casually sweeps into your car about a block away
and then you open the front door and the smell hits you in the face.

Once that door is open there is no turning back.

I half ran half walked to the store front once I got out of my car.
Stopped before entering to quickly calm my excitement
but that didn't help

At the front counter I proceeded to rapidly list off all of the items I wanted.
I paid and cheerfully collected my gold box full of goodies.
So content, I sat down and ate my....

six ooey gooey rainbow chip cookies
one jumbo piece of moist fluffy carrot cake with cream cheese frosting
one jumbo piece of chocolate cake with butter cream frosting
a large warm cream cheese brownie
and a chocolate cupcake with green frosting.


Before I knew it EVERYTHING was gone.
I wish I had my camera with me to take a picture of all of my treats.

I think these kinds of celebrations are going to have to be few and far between
so until the next time I attempt to give myself diabetes, steamed broccoli will have to do to neutralize this sugar and calorie intake

Wish Matt Luck!


Matt has a huge volleyball match today.
He faces his old team Perugia who flew all the way to Cyprus from Italy.
Matt kind of left this team with a little bit of bad blood between them because, even two years later, they still owe him money.
So this would be a great win for him tonight!

Everyone wish him luck and hope he kicks some butt!

I love you Matthew! Play like the Supastar you are!

Dear Mommy and Daddy

I miss you.
I really hope you come visit me over here in Cyprus.
I know you thought I couldn't wait to get rid of you but it wasn't the case.
I look forward to our Skype chats every day and
I really really miss you.

XOXO

Your Daughter

Tick Tock

The time passes so slowly as I wait for April to come. My days consist of laying in bed and watching television shows (most of the time I just watch the little circle go round and round waiting for the show to load), taking occasional naps, and walking to the store 100 feet from my house for a candy bar.

Searching for a candy bar in a different language that looks appealing and trying to figure out if there are raisins or other foreign objects that are not to my liking tends to be the highlight and most intellectually challenging part of my day. Most of the time I try not to leave my bat cave. Unfortunately this has seriously affected my bronze.

Oh yeah, I forgot, I also have two hours of volleyball a day around 7 every night.

This seems ideal to most but I am on the brink of going nuts. This kind of boredom forces you to do something unthinkable...like blogging!
