A New Love Interest

First of all I want to start by telling all of you about a couple of giveaways. Unfortunately..I am unable to post the pretty pics of all the super-nifty things you can win, but I'll provide the links.

Up first: My friend and former travel buddy Sara is giving away Pink Sugar perfume. It sounds heavenly! Head on over and enter.

Next up is Life of the Wife and you have choices of what you want on her giveaway. One option is a year subscription to the Crossfit Journal and your other option is a sweet Dior makeup giveaway.

On to my favorite newlywed...Misadventures of a Newlywed. She's giving away the cutest Lily Pulitzer stationary and you even have your choice between two.

Last but certainly not least is Make Mine a Mojito, she's giving away some fab looking brownies for Valentine's Day.

Whew...now that's a ton of giveaways!

In other news, I went to the electric company to get that switched over into Sean and I's name.

I've never been so nervous in my life.

See, our translator, who Sean and I have ridden with two times before, is a nice lady. Today though since she has me and another guy turning off his electricity, she had to run to the bank with him while I was in the electric office with the guy who works there.

Alone.

And I don't speak the language.

She told me as she was leaving, "Oh he knows a few words of English, you'll be in very capable hands."

Thank god he and I were able to communicate.

It was scary folks! My mission here is obvious. I MUST learn Italian and quickly!

Oh and by the way while I was waiting I saw a ton of people wearing denim. That made me feel better about jeans I was sporting.

Ok..so I still look like an American. It was quite obvious by the way everyone was looking at me in the electric office that I wasn't fooling them. I was hoping they were just looking at my super-cute red coat from Forever 21, but I doubt that was it. I plan on getting some pieces to blend in, but I haven't made it to the mall yet and there's only so much I can pull off with the limited clothing options in my suitcase.

Speaking of that, I'm tired of being reduced to a small number of options. Living out of a suitcase for almost two months really blows.

In other news, I think I'm in love.

With the Smart Cars. I mean how cute is this?



Everytime I see one of them I tell Sean that I want one. I do! I just don't want to spend the money to get one. I can just picture myself on a Tuscan road in my sporty little yellow Smart Car.

A girl can dream right?

Ciao!
