Everyday you wake up and it's freezing cold and then it starts snowing!! It shouldn't be like this when its almost April and on top of it in a country where it barely ever snows!! It's ridiculous!!
I just had to get that off my chest....since its pretty much all that happened this week!
No there was some stuff that happened.
I got to FT (Face Time) with Bry!! That's was good..got to catch up on stuff!! Shes planning on coming and seeing be this year ...at some point in which ever country ill be at!! Lol. So that makes be über excited!!
Thursday went to meeting...the girls are starting to warm up to me a bit and are really sweet!! Even though they all are pretty young...they think its soo cool I'm from The States! It was soo funny I got up to go the bathroom and when I came out Ashby was standing there with a crazy look...turns out I went into the men's....oh well!! He thought it was hilarious!!!
This weekend I had to work some soo I didn't really care that I wasn't doing anything. Also everyone went to this big ball some cong had...they tried to invite me but it was a little last minute....oh well!! So instead I spent my nights researching....places Togo...countries to see...just figure out my plan of attack!!! I have a couple weekend away trips in Ireland and then a trip to Belgium and to London and to Paris and to Germany!! Omg soo many places to see!!
On Sunday...they had a little family get together...that's why they needed some help! But when I say little it really doesn't mean little cause Joe has 10 bros and sis and they all have like 3-4 kids soo it was a but crazy at times but I just helped in the kitchen and hung out with the neighbor and her daughter they are really nice! But then the "crazy uncle" had to come grab be and introduce me and show me off to all the nephews...I was like ohh ok thanks for that!! It was funny!!
Tuesday was memorial. We had it at a hotel cause the Kingdom Hall is so small it didn't have enough room last year. There was a lot of people I had never met before that go to the hall..they all come out for this I guess!! Lol. But yea it's surprising how many people i know already! And there's soo many kids and they are just soo stinking cute! Meggan this one little girl she is about 8 or 9. And I always make her talk to me in Gaelic..she goes to an Irish school soo she gets to learn all that, and then she started showing me her River dancing moves...it was soo cool!! I told her she needed to teach me! So we had 108 in attendance but that pretty good considering that there's only 51 publishers!
So after the memorial, this one sister was so excited...she said to me "Normally we go to someone's house after but there's a bar here in the hotel soo everyone's going there, you have to come get a drink!" I was like Uhh ok!! Soo seriously almost everyone from the regular hall came...the bartender lady was being a grouch but whatever...and no kids aloud in the bar soo they were running around all crazy in the lobby...it was just really funny!! I met this one guy who...no joke told me his whole life story within the first 5 min of meeting him and I could barely understand him his accent was soo bad! Lol. But from what I got from it he's a dodgy one!! But he's still nice...his mom goes to the cong! But it was a lot of fun...to hang out with everyone after you get to see a totally different side to people especially when their drinking!! It was around 1 am by the time we left and everyone took taxis home...soo strange!! You can't even have one beer and drive or else!! But it was a good night! I finally met the guy that actually goes and does stuff...soo I'm gonna try and get in with him and invite myself everywhere lol
Jen gave me Wednesday completely off since I helped out on the weekend. So I thought I would go into Dublin and have a walk round...get to see the city a bit cause last time I was there it was madness!! So I got all ready and went to the bus...it was nice and sunny...I got my hopes up!! By the time we got to town it was full blown snowing and all the hills were white...this is dumb!! Oh well, I took the Luas (trolley car thing) to a shopping center and went inside....on the Luas this old guy...ok not very old maybe in his 50 was all chatting me up and after awhile offered to show me around the city! Hah. I changed the subject quickly and didn't answer his question!! Lol So I get to the shopping place and where do I go first!? Forever 21 the American store! Lol. I just walked around , I wasn't planning on doing a lot of shopping, just kinda seeing what stores there was and the layout of the city...which is one of the most confusing city's ever! But I did pt do a whole walking around cause it was snowing out :/ and just soo freezing cold! It was kinda cool though down this one section there was these totally hagged out old lady's with their super thick Dublin can't and were like yelling "2 euro for grapes". Over and over it was really funny!!
Anyway I was was walking out of one shopping center and saw a lady with a Starbucks cup...totally stalked her down and was like where did you get that??? She told me and it was close..but the only one on the north side of the river...I lucked out!! Lol. Soo I went and got a coffee!!! It was oh so good!! I sat there awhile and used their free wifi and watched people...lets just say people dress horrid over here....there are few that are nice but their outfits I just don't get!! Very weird!!
But that's about all the excitement for this week!! :)
