china stuff

howdy doody friends of mine.

first of all everyone, i need you tomorrow at some point to either say out loud or to yourself, "happy birthday seth". my sweet nephew turns 2, and i can't even be in the country. that's horseshit. but maybe if enough of my friends put the thought out there, he'll have the best little 2 year old birthday possible. gosh dangit that kid is cute. now if i could get his parents to stop trying to make him call me crazy aunt paige. (brett and rachel, so funny)

so tonight is our last show in longgang. and then we load out overnight. they fly us over here, give us time to adjust our sleep, then make us load out overnight. i have to figure out a way to make coffee at work. and the coffee here is instant and comes pre-sweetened and creamed. it's not my favorite. what i wouldn't give for a starbucks. anyway, most likely load out will last until dawn. and be blazing hot. and nobody understands chinese on our crew. and the locals stare at me. i can't wait.

onto other things...
i have made a wish list for things i would like to see in shanghi:
aveda-already checked, the only one is in hong kong. *sigh*
sephora- there are 3 of them, yea, pretty makeup
a mexican restaurant- there's a latin one called caliente, so maybe...
gaucamole- i haven't seen an avacado yet.
starbucks-enough said
we have our first week off in shanghi, because it takes so long for the show to ship. i should have 6 full days to shop, eat, and sight see. very exciting.

some more fun things about china...

i brought a pair of jeans with me that 2 and a half weeks ago didn't fit, and now they are almost too big. we like to call it the chinese diet. and i am eating.

and there is a dancer out here from jonesboro, ar. we have decided if one night we get super drunk,(i don't drink mom.), we're going to call the hogs in china. (but since i don't drink mom, it will never happen.)
