To start, my toenails are painted with OPI nail polish again, thanks to the visit from my mother. Pumped? Yes. I feel like a real girl again. Who would have thought I would miss nail polish so much? I mean, I could buy some here. I haven't seen OPI anywhere and it seems silly to purchase frivolous things I'd just have to take home, so I've refrained. Still, it was excellent to have painted toe nails.
This lip balm is so great. I forgot how much I loved it until my Burt's Bees ran out and I had to switch back to Kiehl's. Mine has a bit of color in it and so it too is helping me feel like a real girl in the midst of my Bulgarian downward spiral in terms of my appearance. Seriously, no eyebrow waxing, no haircuts, no make up....it is getting bad.
These are some of my favorite shoes in the entire world. My parents brought them over with them and it was finally warm enough to wear them today. Pair those with pink toenails and you are set.
Also, today not enough students showed up for Bulgarian class so we had coffee with the professor--she even paid! Nothing like an hour and a half of conversation between a Russian, a Mongolian, a Bulgarian and two Americans at an outdoor cafe.Then...lunch! I had shopska, wheat bread, a banana and spinach soup. In other words--perfect! I loved it.
Then I actually reclaimed some of my motivation and read for class, knocked out an issue of Glamour and re-formatted my resume. This was all possible because my afternoon class was canceled.
For dinner, I ate a bowl of lettuce (yes, literally) and a fresh tomato pizza.
Steallar. Day.
To top all of that off, it is only 5 weeks until we are back in the US! Hoorah!
