OOPS! I FARKLED AGAIN! ^.^
That's right. I farkled. Again and again and again that late summer night in early June. I didn't plan to farkle. I was just spending some quality R & R time up at my family cabin. Instead, I had to farkle. I was embarrassed beyond belief. How could I farkle SO MANY TIMES in front of my mother and my grandparents?
Sigh. My ashamed family handed me the dice and I rolled again.
This is a just a little glimpse into my summer vacation. Farkling is not the only thing I have done since my stateside visit. I have enjoyed eating too much, shopping too much, sleeping too much, and people. It's never too much to visit with my family and friends! It has been wonderful to be back in America. On some levels, Korea feels like a world away. I can only compare it to Narnia and the "spare oom" I am self-diagnosing it "the Narnia effect".
Here are some highlights from the summer thus far: Taco Bell, shopping for shoes and pants that fit, new babies, engagements, Cubs games, my family, new kitchesn new friends from Bhutan, tennis, Chicago, dogwalking with my sister, lunch at Swedish restaurants with cute old ladies, reading, findings old pictures in my closest, Central Time Zone, cabin retreats, girlfriend dinners, and Flight of the Conchords.
My countdown to return to Korea has begun. I am savoring each momnet of my time at home. I look forward to going back, but I will desperately miss home. Today my family sat around and talk about next summer's round-the-world adventure. I sat backed, watched them argue about what countries to visit, and just smiled. I am truly blessed, even if I occasionally farkle once in awhile in front of my family and friends.
