I can't believe it's almost November...crazy! This past weekend we decided to celebrate Halloween. I spent all day Saturday between classes frantically trying to find costumes..haha. NOT an easy task here. I finally managed to throw a together a somewhat, pirate costume. I had to work until about 5, and then flew home to try and make it to a baseball game. I got to witness a real deal Taiwan baseball game...it was so surreal, seeing such a 'normal' thing in Taiwan. It was like for a moment I could pretend that I was home...(that is when I closed my eyes..haha) I mean they had hot dogs...and crazy fans...lol. It was fun. Unfortunatly I could only stay for about 40 mins because there was a kindy halloween party I had to get to. I was feeling bitter about the whole just because I'd spent all Saturday and DID not want to go back. But it was actually pretty fun. My kids were so cute, and I got to meet some of the parents. I WISH I had brought my camera but of course I forgot it. After I scootered back to the apt and got ready to head out to a Halloween party! But before we did that me and Kim felt it necessary to parade our costumes around the neighborhood..haha. We walked around, a pirate and a ladybug, and decided it necessary to visit our local KTV place (karaoke). We started to walk and noticed pictures of nudey girls everywhere..and also an excess of scantily dressed girls...ummm yea...apparently it was a 'dirty' KTV place..whatever that means.....whoops!! So we ran out of there...horrified.
I really want to get pictures of my kids to show you guys...but I'm not sure how they would feel about me taking pictures...I don't know. So work is going good, I just feel like there is so much pressure. I don't know I kind of feel like my life is consumed with HESS. Since I've gotten to Kaohsiung I havn't left, and I'm just worried this is how it will be...not much freedom. But I guess that is what I get huh? I wanted more hours so I got them!! Last week was one of my roughest yet. I was pretty sick all week, and with no mic I had no way to communicate with people. Plus I was having issues sleeping and was just feeling so blah...really missing my comfort zone. I kept getting so angry at all the Taiwanese people...when they would cut me off on the scooter or but in front of me. I was just so angry...all week. This week is much better though. I feel a lot better and managed to find some 'herbal' sleeping pills that I took for a couple nights....no longer though.
This weekend I think me and Kim will take a trip to Taichung and visit some people. I think it will be good for us to get out of here. I got a Saturday off when Bob gets here, so I think were all going to Kenting that weekend. And then the weekend Bob leaves we're having a company trip to Sun Moon Lake. So I think the next month will fly by and Dec 22 will be here soon. Anyway, I can't wait to see everyone in less than 2 months!! Also mom and dad...I know your busy...but you should call me!!!! I'm your long lost daughter in Taiwan...don't you love me anymore? :( (guilt trip)...hehe. I'm just kidding...but not about the calling part!! Love and miss you.
