Things I missed about home while I was gone:

• My friends
  
• privacy
  
• Poland Springs water (dunno why, but it just tastes better to me)
  
• geeks
  
• my computer
  
• people who speak my language

Things I miss about the ship now that I'm back:

• My friends
  
• the rocking of the boat (although I'm still getting a little of that...)
  
• warmth
  
• having five meals a day provided for me
  
• the ocean
  
• hearing multiple languages and accents
  
• having my bed made up every time I left it for 5 minutes

Hmm. I suppose home still wins. It's just too bad I can't combine the two somehow...

If it helps, I can talk to you in multiple languages.
Welcome back, though.

What languages do you speak? My Spanish is pretty weak, although I do know some. French is definitely my strongest. It was just so much fun to hear people speaking in French and Spanish and Italian and German and Hebrew all around me, and see what I could understand and try to have some conversations. I do love languages.

My Spanish is stronger.
Any Italian I learned came from "The Margaret Ghost".

Today I had to go to East Boston and all the signs were in Spanish. And I had to ask someone for directions (simple ones "Where's the Radio Shack [that someone already told me was very near by here]?") and when they pronounced "Radio Shack" as "Raadio Chak", I dropped a "sí" in there so that we switched languages and I could clarify with her in Spanish.
I was pleased at how easily I could still use it. :-)

Five meals a day?!

Btw, leofwynn will be in town for Shabbat/Purim.

Breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner, midnight buffet. Crazy. I never actually ate the midnight buffet, and I didn't generally have much at tea. But still. Oh, and dinner was usually an appetizer, soup, salad, main, side dishes, and dessert. Oof. But man, it was good.

And yay! Is she coming to Tremont Street?

Tremont St it is, where I will be reading megillah both Sat night and Sunday day :-)

You could ride the Orange Line all day and get three of those.
:)


(the warmth, the multiple languages and accents, and the rocking).
