Well, since you can't post videos yet, I think I'll refrain. No need to make you jealous (It's really just payback, if you're going to be lame and post words, two can play that game!)
Dear Ravishing in Richmond,
I'm so glad to see you posted last week!! Yay! I'm missing you bunches, though even if I was in the DMV right now, you'd be down in silly Richmond. It's ridiculous really. Why do we never live in the same town? Do you know what would be perfect? If we were roommates! So one or both of us has to move. Right now.
How is Richmond? I know nothing about Richmond or your life there. What do Richmond people do for fun? What kind of place do you live in? Sheesh, woman. Inform me.
I can tell you something interesting about Cork, if you like. We've concluded over here that it all has to do with the absence of American Thanksgiving. These poor dears have no marker for when the Christmas season should begin. So for years and years they only had a couple of weeks of lovely decorations and the most wonderful time of the year and midnight clears and all that jazz. But then one fine year, someone realized that Halloween was as good a marker as any. Thus, on November 1st, the Halloween decorations are simply covered up with garland and ghosts are decorated with white beards and red suits. It is Christmas already here! Can you believe it? It's like a dream come true!
I'm actually not sure how I feel about it. Any other year I would be sitting here on a soapbox preaching to the choir about when Christmas decorations should go up and until when they should stay. But this year, in a foreign country, with my best friends and family thousands of miles away, a little homey Christmastime is very welcome. I've started listening to Christmas music in the mornings (as in right now... ssssh!).
I have no other Corkian updates for you. I'm still recovering from my friends' weeklong visit two weeks ago. My body may never recover. My liver certainly won't.
Love you bunches,
Captivating in Cork
