So… day 2 at Penelope Manor and well, we did… kinda… sorta… do… ehm… nothing…

Well, not reaaaallly nothing… we did get up (me with the headphones of my iTouch still in my ears, guess I passed out right after getting into bed)… one of us took a Advil400 to get rid of the pounding head… chatted… have tea… chatted… some of us had a hearty English breakfast… chatted… hung around… chatted… blogged… chatted… Facebooked… chatted… one of us traced a DHL courier package and was relieved that it is finally in transit to the US… chatted… had a bath… chatted… talked to Delmer on the phone… chatted.. chatted… chatted… one of us faked wanting to get her (uni)brow waxed, having the other one tag along for the sole purpose of a great blogpost, and then “magically” the eyebrow-wax-girl was not in today… chatted… had a nap… chatted… slumped around a bit more… chatted… chatted… chatted… one of us smoked like a chimney… chatted… one of us was used as a beanbag by the cat… chatted… watched TV… chatted… one of us got increasingly excited about the US trip ahead tomorrow (Squeeee)… chatted… someone went out to get new chickenbreast cuz she forgot to get the other one out of the freezer… chatted… chatted… chatted… had a gorgeous dinner… chatted… ate way too much… chatted… one of us had a fluttering stomach realizing that tomorrow by that time she’d be with The Guy… chatted… did the dishes… chatted… chatted… wondering where the day went… chatted…

Yeah, so pretty much that was it… we didn’t leave the house except for the fake-wax appointment… Which was fine, we had a great time getting to know eachother, though it feels like we’ve known eachother for ages… cuz ya know… we now know for sure that even despite the 1 year age difference we MUST have been twins seperated at birth… I mean… we just áre!

By the time this post, that I am writing on Saturdayevening, airs I hope to be on the way to Heathrow airport to check in for my flight to Raleigh and about 12 hours later (check in time, meeting up with The Chief and one of his British colleagues who is flying with us, waiting for boarding, boarding, flight time, arrival, bagage claim, and shit) I desperately hope to be freaking the hell out at Raleigh airport at the first glimpse of The Guy! I have told The Chief beforehand that I am gonna seriously loose it for a bit when I can jump into his arms and to just get over witnessing that… I mean, ya know… I can’t be held accountable for the psychological harm that witnessing that might cause him… NOT my problem… Pfffrrrttt!!!

Hon!!! I SO canNOT wait to be there!!! To be in your arms… I am not only counting seconds anymore, I am counting it by the milliseconds by now…!!!

Yeah, so the first leg of my trip has been an absolute succes and I think that I can add a new person to my “friends for life” list… It’s not a long list but Penelope is going to be on there. It has been excruciatingly fun spending a few days with Penelope!!! I had thé bestestestestest time! She is a great friend, a great host, a great cook, and an absolute pleasure to be with! Thanks Pen! And yes, dear, I WILL message you as soon as I have touched down to let you know if it all worked out, The Guy is there, and hopefully nothing fucked up our plans… If YOU promise me to message me about your day as soon as you return back home from it as well…

Tata for now! I will be back with news as soon as I am in the US and had a chance to get on line. Raleigh here I come!!!
