If you ever get the change to go anywhere and immerse yourself in another culture, for any reason, take it! Especially if it’s on the company dime! That’s what I did! An extended stay in Africa has been one of the truly most wonderful blessings I’ve ever had. One of the best parts was living with and learning from my wonderful hosts…
That being said, I’m back! I’ve missed many things… Hot showers and cold beer amongst them… I also missed my shoes… Oh my how I missed them… Almost six months in sketchers, I almost lost my mind! I went without Internet, shaving my legs, makeup, stockings (ouch! that one really hurt too!!!), a regular supply of toilet paper, my motorcycles, shopping of any mention, and so many other unimportant “essentials“… Okay, the heels are essentials! The stockings too! But I wouldn’t trade my time there for anything the world.
I missed this too so I’ve got a lot of catching up to do. So, without wasting time, read on and see how I’ve been spending my hard earned salary (which I basically banked the entire time!) during the last few weeks since I’ve returned. Didn’t I mention I’ve been on “vacation” for a few weeks picking up the pieces of my life and breaking in my credit cards… Alas, here we go!
