ok so it's been a really long time since i've written - but first our parents were here and that was really fun. i'll put some photos up at the bottom that my mom sent me from when they were here. after they left we were just trying to get things pulled together and then there was a long weekend starting on the 26th - fri - with joji's first birthday and then a trip up to a lake on sunday... however i didn't get to partake in any of those fun experiences (save for making his birthday cake in the morning) because i got knocked out by a wretched virus that lasted for four days - ughh. i'm recovered from that now, just trying to stay clear of the colds the kids have. cold and flu season in a house with kids and in a different country is deadly - or at least taxing on your immune system - to be a little less dramatic :). but i'm planning to make it through unscathed from here on out.
on a different note, i didn't take the job that i was contemplating, so i'll be coming back to seattle in less than 2 weeks - crazy - and see from there if i come back, or where else i'll go. i will definitely be sad to say goodbye to the cool and sunny weather that we are having here... there has been some rain, but today was actually warm, so nice.
i have to say that i am definitely disappointed with bite. shocking. anyways, it was an experience, an experience that required more alcohol than i consumed. oh well. it was definitely thoroughly amusing, some good music - which was the saving grace, ado and i were rocking out the whole time - but they clipped a lot, so right when you were getting into it, they moved on to another song. i think we might have also been the only people in the room to know the words to any of the songs. however, i can say that i have maxed out on my ass quota for the year - maybe for the next five years, along with glow-in-the-dark fangs and really cheesy vampires. but it was definitely what it said it was - sans being topless, that it wasn't, just lots of bras - rock n' roll music blaring while girls dance around in heels, fishnets, and other various coverings, one male vampire, some live fire, plot - was there a plot?, etc. unfortunately we were not allowed to take photos so i don't have any to post. did i mention it was in a casino? :)
so now i get to relax and have fun with lia and joji and everyone, no more job searching, no more learning greek - at least for this trip :) -- i hope everyone had a wonderful halloween, we are finishing up decorating sugar cookies we made tonight, cats and pumpkins, something halloweeny for lia :). i'll try and get out and take some more photos since i haven't done that in quite awhile.
dinner at ado's after mom and dad had arrived
liolia, george (chris's parents), chris, joji, ado, me, lia, dad (mom taking the photo) - we went on a trip out to Vergina (the mound behind us is covering the tombs of alexander the great's father and a couple of other royals). very cool site, they've maintained the experience of being in an underground burial site.
