I AM BACK!

So after over 6 months of my blog fading away, I finally had the inspiration today to start it back up again. I know so many of you had said to me...sarah where is your blog... but of course if i wasnt inspired to write it made it much more difficult. So anyway. here it goes...

working in Italy has been quite the experience. I really believe that by starting my work life here in Italy, I am preparing myself for anything that may come along. Aside from working in a different language ,understanding that it is rude to let someone take (not have) a coffee by themselves, or consuming the second hand smoke from over 15 people in a day( some of which smoke over 40 cigarettes in a day)....besides all this i learn quite a lot at work. No really, I am getting to experience quite a lot.

anyway, i decided to write down the goings on.. in a different way, instead of writing and writing.
it makes it easier for all of us. I also want to focus more on the funny situations that happen here in italy. because they are the ones i never want to forget.
First week of April:

- Daniele is taking the day off from work. I asked cool what do you want to do... he said he was going to stay home and make a salty cake for easter. i said. huh? sometimes this country and food... really its so strange

- the office is falling apart, my boss was sitting at his desk and a shelf filled with books just flew from the wall, then today someone was carrying 4 glasses and a bottle of wine on a tray... it fell and exploded everywhere. where else did the bottle of wine land...on the new precious arrival of an ostrich egg from africa...(this just shows if you have something that you need to be extra careful with...its going to find a way to get broken).

- last week i went to see the international (what a terrible movie) but the best part was i went with my friend sassy who has a king charles spaniel (who is a little chubby i must say)... we didnt have time to take him home so we tried to shove him into her huge gucci bag. to make him look smaller...mind you he is like 40 pounds. we put him in...smoosh after smoosh on his big butt, and covered him with my scarf. then in the movie he just sat on her lap watching, but just like us he got bored..only he fell asleep and started snooring. everyone kept turning around bc they thought one of us was snooring. then after the movie and after max ate all the popcorn off the floor(maybe they should just let dogs loose in movie theaters after a showing)... :) we went outside and the guy that takes the tickets looked at us with shock and was like " CANE NO; NO CANE" we just looked at him...and pulled the stupid american. "oh really, ah ok , sorry". After more looks of disgust, we went out front and max the dog, peed on their flowers. (not sure if we are ever allowed back in ) hahah joking!

-the weather is getting much better, thank god, time to change all the clothes out! finally, 7 month long winter, i dont know if i can take another one.

- anyway, made cheesecake cupcakes for daniele's 25th birthday today! Cannot wait to eat them tonight.

ok, i will write more soon, i hope all is well, and i hope that i can write a little more often than 6 months hahah.

ps. so excited my friend matt is coming to polimoda!!!he arrives in june. cannot wait

ciao
