AGH I TRIED SO HARD TO POST A VIDEO LYLA AND I MADE AT THE WINE FEST. SO HARD. ALL I WANT TO DO IS POST A VIDEO, OR MAYBE A PHOTO BUT NO!!!!!!! AGH AGH AGH.
Anyway, in the video we mentioned that we were afraid of falling down the stairs after the wine fest, where we were served triple portions for speaking awkward Hungarian, briefly molested by Austrians for a photo op, and received little neck carrying pouches which held our wine glasses perfectly. Awesome.
Happily, no falling down the stairs and dying happened. Yay! Rather, we followed the wine fest with a house party, where there was ranch dressing (!!!) and bottles and bottles of wine. This was followed by a troupe of Americans and one Hungarian stumbling through the streets of Pest in an attempt to arrive at a bar that didn't suck. Sadly, no success. On the plus side, this took so long that we were able to take the metro home when it opened at 4:30 AM.
I feel sort of like I'm two different people. Mild-mannered weekday Lauren goes to work, plays with kids, makes the handsign for scissors, attempts to study Hungarian, makes salads and packs lunches, and goes to sleep by 11. Insane weekend Lauren spends 3-4 times as much money as weekday Lauren does in less than half the time, yells expletives loudly in English in the middle of a metro station, falls up stairs, eats only bread, and does nothing but sleep and prowl the city until it's starting to be sunny out. Ugh. Must find someway to reconcile these two personnas so that weekday Lauren is less lame and weekend Lauren is less... just less.
It's chilly today and that makes me sad. I'm not ready for it to be all sweaters all the time. I want more sun. Lyla and I are considering going away this weekend... warmth?

Hi roommate,
I'm glad that you went to a wine fest. I love them! I think I'm going to a hot air balloon/wine festival next month.
So Alfonso called me on my birthday, and my dad did not even remember my birthday. So yay for Alfonso!
Went speed-dating on Friday. I can't post my opinion on that in a public forum, though : P
Hang in there with the Hungarian. It may be super-hard but you'll get it.
P.S> I about pissed myself when i read that your co-worker said "uf. it's wicked hot". remind you of anyone? haha.
We demand a new post!!
Dad. xoxox
