The Blog Has Not Been Abandoned

But I'm very much in the phase of "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all". It's been a tough few weeks with alot of personal struggle. It's almost all work related & I hope there is a positive outcome soon.

In the meantime, here are some pics & I promise that there are plenty of Danish observations to be shared, laughed at, & enjoyed together...Keep checking back & don't forget little ole me over here. ;-)

I love how this street looks. It's just off one of the main streets in the city.

This is part of an art exhibition for elephant conservation. Uniquely designed elephant statues are all over the city. This one was in Christianshavn.

While the weather is nice, the Danes will spend as much time outdoors as possible. A couple of my friends & I are trying to adopt that as well.

Just a random shot.

2 Month Update

Yep, It's been 2 months. Time is flying past & I can't decide how happy or sad I am about that. I'm becoming more comfortable with my surroundings. The past few months have taught me alot about myself & yet, I know that there is still so much to learn.


Just as before, I'll recap what I miss & enjoy the most. :)


What I miss:


1. Dopey, Family, & Friends: I don't think that will ever change. And Dopey's recent health issues make it that much harder to be away.  


2. Mani/Pedi's! I didn't go ALL the time but Lord knows that when the feet were starting to look a little too rough, It was time for a quick trip to the nail salon. To do that here would be approx $250 (yes, that's 250 US DOLLARS) for a basic mani/pedi. This is no bueno!

3. DVR - Oh sweet sweet DVR. What a great contraption! Records all my shows and let's me watch them when I am good & ready. My shows aren't played here & I can't stream them b/c of my location. This may be ok now that it's summer & the new seasons won't start until fall but the minute y'all start posting on FB "Ooohh...Parenthood was SOOO good this week" and "SNL was hilarious this week!" ...Yea, I may have a meltdown right around then.  


4. Being all up in your business - It's a little hard to be up to date w/ my friends & be able to be 'in the know' when you are so far away. Love all your emails & attempts to skype but I need more. I just neeeeeeddddd more.


5. Driving. Who cares if it's raining or cold or hot...You can get in a car and turn on the a/c, heater, lower windows, turn on windshield wipers, & get to your destination mostly unaffected by the weather outside.


What I Enjoy:


1. More travel. More. More. MORE! 


2. Accents! It's great to be in a room & hear accents from all different parts of the world. Makes conversations more interesting. I'm also quite fascinated to hear other people's views on the US. People are just amuse me.

3. Looking around & feeling more comfortable. I'm starting to know where things are & enjoy making plans & knowing how to get to these places (sometimes without a map).


4. Realizing that there's more work to be done. Stay tuned there...


5. The friends I am starting to make.
