A combination of: Trenee' Nicole, Taylor Faye and/or Jessica Lynn:

I hope you have recorded these. we're having a marathon when I get home. kthanks. :]

(Elayna, move back to Illinois, please)

Talking with a friend about my ridiculous life and my luck:

luck, meaning, bad luck...

airport issues, getting my faaave purse ruined in an attempted robbery,

getting hit by a car, getting the most difficult teacher everrr

for what I hoped to be a fairly easy summer session...

You know, typical things.

He said, "I don't know if I can hang around you... You have terrible luck."

I told him, "Eh, it all builds character, right?"

Marilyn knows what I'm talking about:

Yesterday I witnessed a proposal at the Pantheon. SO PRESH.

Mommabear sent me a care package... Pedicure Supplies (HEAVEN) so desperately needed hairspray with this humidity, AMERICAN FOOOOD, a people magazine,

cool new SIUE swag, you know, essentials. :p

I had my Italian friend Alessandro try peanut butter.. He looooved it.

So much that I let him have it and he's already eaten half of the jar.

(Brittany has some here too... I wasn't just giving it up totally) :P

I've been sick for the last week with a sore throat, cough and congestion. Alessandro gave me 2 lemons from his panini shop for me to drain and drink the juice to get better. He said, "no add sugar or water, just drink the juice to disinfect... you feel better tomorrow."

I'm holding this to him.

It's 1 AM on my last Friday in Rome and I'm already home for the night.

He told me, "don't worry if you can't go to the bathroom tomorrow." I asked, "HUH?!" he laughed and said, "uhh... lemons make your ass close." I guess I wasn't aware. He said, "Drink extra cup of coffee tomorrow, you'll be fine." Closest thing to doctor mom that I have here. :P

Nighty night followers <3

The aftermath of my brawl with a vehicle. I obviously lost.

It's even prettier in person... :p
