Update- in IRELAND

HELLO ALL!

Today it SNOWED in Ireland lol- that's odd here apparently.

I am making this brief-ish... just wanted to update you all on what has been happening.

Ireland is beautiful in every sense of the word. The country side is breathtaking- the Cliffs of Moher has been thus far the best experience of my life. I thought before I needed beach and sun to find something beautiful- Ireland has changed that theory for me.

It rains here and the rain does not even bother me. Compared to the experience over all the rain is minute. And I treat it as such.

I considered getting a working visa and staying out here for the remainder of the little sis stay and apparently, they don't offer those to Americans. Americans are frowned upon in Europe lol. WOMP WOMP. So I now say I am Spaniard.

The city of Limerick is small but cute. There are signs on the pavement that tell you were to look before you cross. I had to pay .20 Euros to use the bathroom in the city, you have to pay for bags here but I guess it serves its purpose... people carry canvas bags and reuse them. I bought one myself lol- I want to be down with the locals.

The people here have bad oral hygiene. I guess they aren't forced to see the dentist every 6 months like we are in America.

The girls here dress like hoochies to the clubs... Eye Candy for you fellas...

I am leaving out a lot because most the people who read this blog already know how my vacation has been- and read my note on Facebook lol.

I will post this story up anyway:
"SUPER BOWL SUNDAY! We go to Flannery's
FREE FINGER FOODS @ HALF TIME
Great because I was hungry- its half time at superbowl in Ireland, I'll bend the rule and have some fried food if I have to.
I look on the plate to see what is vegetarian... I spot some rolls and ask what is in it... some one responds it is a spring roll (they think). I bite the top off to inspect the contents, and there is something suspicious. A substance that could be meat- I immediately spit out what is in my mouth in a empty beer glass. And give the rest of my "spring roll" to one of the guys with us. He laughs at what I just did and asks me why- I tell him I am a vegetarian and that spring roll might have meat. He agrees and tells me that the fellow next to him is a also a vegetarian and is eating this brown thing. the lil sis is eating one too and tells me she thinks it has no meat and that it taste like the stuff Kipe (the dominican fried food) is made of. I grab one and eat it. It taste like a straight up Kipe and I start to question the substance. Lil sis and the vegetarian assure me that it has no meat. I eat two. My curiosity kills me- and I need to know what is in it. It taste like meat, maybe they fried it in the same frier as some meat before? Well I ask one fellow and he asks why. I tell him I don't eat meat and his jaw drops, and informs me that is PURE meat. I gag. I tell the other veg and he says we need to find out what is in this and we go ask another local and he tells us it is different parts of ground pig. I ATE FRIED GROUND PIG MEAT. I wanted to die.
I almost threw up and sat down. I felt so sick to my stomach at the fact that I ate meat that I went to the bathroom and made myself throw up because I kept gagging... I didnt throw it all up. TMI- I know.
So to those of you who ask if I will ever eat meat again, if I get this feeling from eating meat then I have to say the answer is probably NO.
I am sad :o("

On with my personal life:
the boyfriend admitted to reading my blog again and stepped his game up with a very sweet e-mail. Promising change when I return and saying he now understands where my anxiety was coming from before. We have been through a lot in the past few months and I am so drained that I am just going to let nature takes its course. If it works, it works... if it doesn't then obviously it was not meant to be.
(Side note: I am dreading having to look at the wedding dress stored in my moms house- I actually love that dress so much now that I plan on wearing it to who ever I marry)

Fitness and I have been emailing back and forth- he is still pretty funny lol. I have called him a few times since I have been out here and he sounds like a little kid when I am on the phone with him and he finally admitted it is that he gets a little nervous sometimes. LOL how cute. I plan on hanging out with him when I get back, we have plans to go get some soup.

I miss my Morkie. A lot.

And the maltese at my moms.

I haven't spoken to the president but I guess I will meet up with him if I ever make it out to D.C.
