6 monthiversary with shanghai

WOAH. I've been here for six months. It blows my mind to think about it. Six whole months? I could be 2/3 of my way toward giving birth to a child! Insanity.

So how do I feel now that I've lived in China for half a year?

I feel that I saw a man in the supermarket today in the bakery section pick up a cookie/baked good from each stall, put it right up against his nostrils, smell it deeply, then put it back. I also feel that immediately following that I saw another person do the exact same thing. Which is why I feel that you should try to purchase pre-packaged goods from the supermarket in Shanghai whenever possible.

Thanks for the last 180 days, China. They've been interesting.

i swear i didn't forget! it just...slipped...my mind...

I feel like such a man. I forgot my own anniversary with China! How is that even possible? I mean, I remember people's birthdays who I haven't even spoken to in five years!

Argh. I'm such a failure.

I hope I can find it in me to forgive me. Happy Three Monthiversary, baby, sorry I'm two days late. I'll make it up to me, I promise.

time flies when you're having fun

Happy Two Monthiversary to me!

Oh, p.s., I'm not dead. In case any of you thought that was a possibility.
