crack mints aka icebreakers iced tea mints. they are omgtastic!
i have only had the lemon ones, but seriously, they taste like a sip of sweet tea. which reminds me how much i miss sweet tea. amanda introduced me to crack mints on friday afternoon after sailing, and you need to try them! and i can't wait to try the peach tea ones!and far and away... (i keep writing home and away, my fav aussie soap which i was in love with while in cork) the amazing early 90s movie with tom crusie and nicole kidman and the worlds WORST irish accents. it was in the $5 movie bin and i couldn't help myself. it is one of those movies that just makes me laugh. and i've actually used it teaching... there is a pretty good 10 minute clip about life for a immigrant in the US and the struggles they face and the boss system. so amy and i are currently watching it now, and i forgot how hilarious this movie is!
so my last school group was today. they were a fun group, but it is crazy how fast my time has flown by here. i'm still doing work for the next week and a half, but i'll be more normal. i'm sad to be leaving connecticut though, i've really enjoyed living and working here.
and since i've been busy here are some fun pictures from my memorial day weekend. it felt very sterotypical. there was boats, beer, parades and bbqs. sunday we went boating on the long island sound and it was fabulous. i've never really done anything like that, and we went to this cute little island - flat hammock island, which only had seagulls on it. it was a fun and relaxing day. monday was the decoration day ceremony at work (the name first given to memorial day to honor those who lost their life during the civil war) and then to the parade downtown, and a little bbq in the backyard. so it was enjoyable and i can't believe it is almost summer. crazily enough i am seriously tanner now than i was all last summer (though with living in ireland, it is believable).

Omg i LOVEDDDDD far and away!! Used to fall asleep watching it on tbs back in the day.
Great flick. Before he became all weird of course. :)
LOVED Far and Away! That was one of my favorite movies growing up!
I'll have to try these crack mints ;)
Are they minty? Or just candyish?
Sounds like a really fun memorial day!!
I love ice breakers sour mints so I might need to pick up those ice tea ones and see!
I like the new header picture! It makes me want to go to the beach.
I loved that movie. Oh my crush on Tom Cruise was too much. I also love the new header. That picture is amazing.
Love the pictures! And those mints look tasty...I'll have to pick some up next time I'm at the store.
Ok so I've never seen Far and Away before (surprising, I know), so out of curiosity I just watched the trailer on YouTube. It's hilarious. You are absolutely right, WORST Irish accents ever. Nicole sounds like an Australian pretending to be Southern, and Tom just sounds crazy. They need to talk much faster, annunciate less, and end every sentence like it's a question or with the word like. At least that's how the Irish accent sounds in my head :)
