Happy Birthday mummy! I hope your first day on the beach rocked! :P
What have I been doing with my new freedom? Ive been discovering the joys of drinking coffee while overlooking the Bosphorus after a night of dancing and drinking in Kadikoy.
Im ranking that up there with hiking Mt Fuji in the things people should do before they die. Only Id recomend doing it more than once. :P

I LOVE Istanbul
18. November 2006 | en
Getting fired rocks! Your free of all the guilt that goes with quitting and abandoning small children who love you. :P Yeah long story short if I want another job the agency says I can have it. Im loving Istanbul on a freedom pass. :P Im staying with a friends boyfriend and Im actually qualifying as living. :P And I got my pay so there is no rush for a new job. Take the Visa run to Germany and take this week to get my sanity back!
I think they thought I was going to cry. However I had just did 5 back to back days of 14 hours. It was like my prison cell was swung open and I was told I could leave. And flee I did!!!!!! :)
So am I happy I did it?? For sure. Wouldn’t trade any of it! Istanbul is an amazing city! AND I made money seeing it. I think I came out on top. :P

Baby Brother Steps Up The Love
18. November 2006 | en
So I gave my brother the condensed version of what happened. aka I complained about my hours and I was asked to leave (because we all love slave labour even when its above minimum wage rate. In fact THEN we should be grateful for it) and his reply back to me (as you will notice) was overwhelmed with concern. :P
thats hilarious, was it dramatic and uncomfortable lol. you should have
droped the kids off at a bus station and left them hahaha. where are you
going to stay until you get a new job.

Chocolate Makes It ALL Better
11. November 2006 | en
Patrick brought me chocolate from the fatherland. I had asked him to bring some for me and the rest to add to Christmas packages. I’m so sorry people. There will be no Christmas this year. There are still bits of chocolate and wrapper on my face and in my hair. I have some big ones left for immediate family members and I’m debating how much I really do love them. I then weigh it against what they’ve done for me of late. So far mom’s bar is the only one thats safe! :P
And then I begin to feel guilt over the amount of food I eat here and the fact I’m going to rapidly gain weight soon if I don’t return to my exercise program. (which is part of the reason I went for swim tonight after the kiddies went to bed). And then I think I am far too stressed here if I’m worrying about food and my weight.
Because the fact of the matter is this is the body of someone in love with life. A rounded belly is sensual dammit! And I love food and I enjoy it, and I look at those with “better bodies” (because again there is absolutely nothing wrong with mine except I should be kinder to my heart sometimes) and they are often cranky bitchy and miserable because its all about the outside and never the inside. Well my inside is full of chocolate, wine, beer and all kinds of decadent wonderful foods. (just like me wahahahaha)

Time To Get Out Of Dodge
05. November 2006 | en
So I’m doing terrible at the NANOWRIMO challenge, but gaining spectacular colors in the throwing temper tantrums and crying sections of life. Also in the “eat vast amounts of chocolate while watching Naruto” and sending my pain in the direction of Alix. Myself and Nicole however have decided to start writing proper letters so hurray. This will also help appease my fears that my employers have the key stoke program on my computer and know just how much I bitch. Damn you Hanz for ever telling me about that and now I have paranoid schizophrenia to add to my list of problems. :-p

This Is Where I Cry
05. November 2006 | en
14 hours.
Id rant on but Im too fucking tired. And that wasnt writing. In fact I wrote all of 100 words. because Im too fucking tired and crooked and ready to cry. Also ready to have my ovaries removed in case I forget today and get into my head I want my own. Oh wait I cant forget today because tomorrow will also be another 12 hour, but likely 13 hour day.
Is the food and living in Istanbul worth it?
The food is amazing. Istanbul is fantastic when I can see it. Oh which is once a week. :( The family is lovely, but I cant keep putting in these hours on weekends without snapping. My only break today was when I showered. Oh and Tennis creep is still calling, only now he blocks his number. And when I told the mother she said he is a man, he likes me, this is normal, just dont answer. That route isnt working either. And why the attitude change? Because she misunderstood me last time and thought he was acting without any help from me. Upon talking to the tennis school and finding out I had agreed to meet with him on my day off its become kindve my fault. My best friend is male as are most of my closest friends. I told him I dont like him and I flat out love someone else. But he is convinced I like him so why should anything I say make a difference. Im to learn my lesson and stop trying to make friends or else expect such behavior.
I will go cry now for how crap this world is.
