YOU FARE WELL IN STORMY WEATHER

..as Anthony would put it.

If you didn’t guess yet – my love is gone. He went on one year student exchange to Liechtenstein. Of course it isn’t that far, but we decided we won’t spend money on visits because we are planning a trip to NYC in the summer. So better to work hard so we could play harder? Something like that. Anyways, if you’re interested in regular posts about Liechtenstein, here’s his blog.

But this won’t be a post about my whining about that he is gone. No, no. This will be about how awesome I am :) as a girlfriend. I know how modest this sounds (eighties feel channeling in 3..2..1..).. NOT! But I feel pretty darn good about how I’ve handled myself the last few days. Instead of crying every 5 seconds (did plenty of that in last month. Plenty!) I took the productive way. I organized a go away party (which was not a complete success but it was really nice). And this was the invitation:

It says: Matic is going (without Tanja-me) to Liechtenstein!

And the muffins (well, small portion of them anyways). I only 'decorated' these few, so I showed I can, but the reast were plain and healthy. And with no lactose (I'm intolerant).

banana + chocolate, strawberry + vanilla, apricot + ginger

Then I came up with a list of things I knew he wouldn’t remember to pack. So a day before leaving I gave him a ‘bon voyage’ pack. It contained:

-        Fonsy shmonsy black tea (vanilla orchid) – coz he doesn’t drink coffee, and coz vanilla supposedly makes you feel in love :)

-           Fonsy shmonsy thingy that you put the tea in so it drains in water? So not good at explaining this.. here it is!

-           Special edition of moleskine planner

Pacman FTW!

-           Sewing kit (if he loses a button)

-           Post its – so he can claim his territory

-           Plastic hangers for towels

-           Diy key chain – coz he’s getting new keys there

What's new pussycat?

Baby got back!

See the little pink cross? It's the fanny! :)

-           Ear plugs + big black (manly) sleeping mask – coz he has a roommate

-           Diy laundry hamper

It's actually pretty big, it's just folded here.

Pretty cool pack, no? If you’re thinking I forgot to put my picture in there – don’t worry. I’ve made him a special cube for his bday. It was this cube with our pictures (so 6 pictures) but you could start opening it and re-designing it so 3 more pictures appear (larger). Pretty cool.

I think he was happy about the whole thing. He even promised that when I’ll be moving to my exchange town (next year – Milan, Italy) he’ll pay for the van – coz I haz so many things :)

Honey, if you’re reading this – I luvz u!! kiss kiss***
