(Blog title said with British Accent)
Homesickness for me comes in waves..
roughly around one time a month..
and I am not going to say that it aligns with that womanly time..
but i'm not going to say it doesn't....
Whenever I seem to be feeling that ping in my chest
and pit in my stomach
I receive a special sort of love from some part of the world..
This past weekend it came from Australia, England, and the US.
On a whim, my friend Ella came by my house with a bag full of candy..
just for me..
I don't even have to share it.
Following that I had a #blate with the gorgeous Sophie.
My little Aussie blog pop.
(seriously, if you don't follow her...well..I just don't know about our friendship then..)
Then today I received a care package from the hilarious and AMAZING Emily.
She is a true gem, a quick witted smart gem of a doctor blogger friend.
You need to get on her blog. like yesterday.

| Soph's homemade quac. tasted like home (and by home i mean the states where we have real mexican food) |
 |
| thank you |
I don't know what I would do without my friends..
blog ones
and real life ones
and blog ones turned real life ones.
You make my baby leap
(I don't have a baby in me..but I heard that saying in church once)
seemed fitting.
you are loved. by many. and I can see why. :) I shot you a quick email... really hoping that i got the right address. let me know if you didn't get it!!!
ReplyDeletehahaha. you make my baby leap. that's awesome.
ReplyDeletei'm glad emily sent you a package.
and i'm glad you're coming back to socal in a MONTH! hurray.
also- if that is cheer up charlie from willy wonka and the chocolate factory, the original- we were just meant to be.
So sweet! Gotta love blog friends... uniting people who may have never connected before. Hope you're feeling better!! P.S. I'm in Portugal now and it's gonna be raining all week. grrr. So glad it didn't rain when you were here! Your trip looked wonderful...where in Portugal did you stay?
ReplyDeletep.s. I'm on your blog list???? Holy cow, I mean HOLY COW. compared to you... I'm like a pee-on. :) !!! Thank you!!!! But I love it! When I figure out how to make a list... you'll be on it. It will be about the time I figure out how to put my email on my blog too. and figure out how to add a playlist with music. I'm a blogger-idiot. Bridget helped my blog look half-way descent. way to go Bridge. BTW... the three of us would have some pretty awesome times together. I'd "get funnier" just hanging around you both.
ReplyDeleteGreat blogs... and your's is as well! I just got my magazines and can't wait to look through the May issues :) Enjoy them (currently blowing some Alabama sunshine and warmth your way)!
ReplyDeleteso sweet :) i also kind of hate you for getting that song stuck in my head. but only kind of.
ReplyDeleteOh you poor baby :(
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling of being homesick... But you'll be coming home soon!
One day, I'll send you a package too with Brazilian goodies so you can add a new country to your blog friends list! And make sure to visit us in SF when you're in California!!! :)
xoxo, Ana
So much LOVE. Makes me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteI have heard "baby leap" in church. Whaaaa???? Oh well.
ReplyDeleteI'm homesick too...and I only live 4 hours from home!
Maybe I'll mail you some ruby slippers and you can click your heels 3 times and be home whenever you want....I just have to find them first. ;)
i was starting to feel mildly inadequate about my package-sending capabilities. considering that i literally just put some magazines in a box, wrote a note, and sent it on its way. this baby has gotten a LOT of press and anticipation. i feared she wouldn't live up to expectations.
ReplyDeletemuch like the baby leaping within you. (or whatever)
anyway. i'm glad i brought a smile to that pretty pretty face of yours. your comment brought a smile to mine in the midst of this grossest of days.
annnnd one more thing.
NIPPLE.
aww, what sweet friends!! packages are seriously the best. hope your home sickness is cured for today :)
ReplyDeletethat is so so so nice! my friends from home (usa) send me things and i especially love to get american magazines! (and peanut butter) what a nice friend!
ReplyDeleteI love Sophie!! I love that you two are friends through the blog world! Love the special package you got too! Blog friends are real life friends :)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great weekend! Happy Monday!

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got to hang out with Sophie and got a package! I'm the worst friend ever for still not sending those gold fish. I will. Email me your address again (:
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to be your blog friend turned real friend in like 6-9 months when we meet up (:
AND lastly, skype asap.
xoxo

ReplyDeleteit may or may not be intact when it gets over there, but hey... it's the thought that counts?
xoxo

ReplyDeleteI love the grade A american reading you received. That should keep you busy for a day or two. I seem to breeze through most magazines. I literally inhale shape and eat afterwards. ha ha. I'm glad you have people in your life who love you enough to put a smile on your American Face in the UK. :). Cheerrr upppp CHARRLLIEEE.. what movie is that from.. ugh. now it will bug me until you send me a message with the answer. lol

ReplyDeletexxx
hmph... I need more friends.
ReplyDeleteI mean, I'm totally happy for you. That's really awesome.

Awww, that's very sweet of your friends! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling a little homesick too, but I don't even know where home is right now... ugh! I may or may not feel this way once each month too.
ReplyDeleteHow nice that you have friends that send you little reminders of home every once in a while. I'd love to eventually have more blog friends become real friends. It's so fun to meet up in real life with people you feel like you already know.
Cheer Up Charlie! Maybe soon you'll find a golden ticket?! (:
What awesome friends you have :) And I believe there is a reason for that, ya know. Best wishes for you and hope you enjoy the American reads!
ReplyDelete*HUGS*

ReplyDeleteher note was real precious.
haha nice saying!! Aw you have such great friends :)
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed with wonderful people in your life! How amazing! Care packages are great, especially when they contain American magazines! Enjoy reading them - and especially enjoy that homemade guac! I would go nuts without real Mexican food (of which I enjoyed last night, sorry).
ReplyDeleteaww so sweet of them...friends are the best!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful to have such great blog (and real) friends... I love Sophie's blog and I am on my way over to Emily's now!

ReplyDelete(this is how rumors get started)
Friends really are earth angels!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel much better and know just how appreciated you are... Even here in South Africa ;-)
Much love, Bailey from Vanilla Blonde
As soon as I finished reading your post I immediately "followed" Emily and Sophie. See, I'm a good listener.
ReplyDeleteAnd my momma came to visit this weekend and I totally balled like a baby when she left. And she only lives two hours away. And I'm going to see her again this weekend for Easter. I totally understand your homesickness!
Sorry to hear you are feeling homesick :( I am glad you have friends and trashy mags to help you feel better though!
ReplyDeleteyou make my baby leap too.
ReplyDeleteisn't em's handwriting pretty?
your package is coming soon. just don't want it to be too boring.
Not gonna lie, I definitely repeated your title after I read your parenthesis. LOL! I'm such a dork.
ReplyDeleteBut, you are loved by so many people. Even Bear. I heart you sweet girl.
xoxo
I totally said this title with a British accent which made me start thinking of "Charlie Bit Me" youtube sensation. thank you!
ReplyDeleteHomesickness stinks :( I feel ya. I went through homesickness a bit during my freshman year of college but good friends, roommates, and family were there for me, which looks like what your fam/friends are doing for you! Cheer up ButtaCup!
that guac looks amazing. I have a shirt from this Hippie burrito/mexican place that says 'Rock out with your Guac out' haha
so I say to you, ROCK OUT WITH YOUR GUAC OUT!
xoxox
ahhh... sweet friends always makes me feel better.

ReplyDeleteIf you would like a comment of irrelevance, this is it. My sister calls the monthly time TOM. It just makes me die laughing inside. Anyhow.
ReplyDeleteI do adore friends and getting packages in the mail. Hello?! Does anyone have MY address??! Obviously not.

ReplyDeletejames bought me an avocado and i ate it. plain.

I just found your blog today and I've spent the better part of the afternoon reading it. Anyway, it's absolutely hilarious and I'm pretty much obsessed now. Not getting a whole lot of work done, but well, who cares?!
ReplyDeleteThanks for making my Friday a heck of a lot more entertaining!
