I’m a feminist | My adventures abroad...

https://meganroseabroad.wordpress.com/2014/07/23/im-a-feminist

My adventures abroad…. I’m a feminist. This entry was posted on July 23, 2014, in Equality. Note: The video below uses profanity and explicit terminology. I do not suggest listening to it in the presence of young children. I do not agree with everything in this video, this is not a political stance. While some lifestyles Laci supports and promotes may go against my own beliefs, I agree with their right to freedom from harassment and respect. 8221; Because men are dumb fools without taste?

This is how Iana explained her solution to my move to Texas. At 3, she gets that Texas is far away and I won’t see her very often. So she denies my move. The beginning part of that statement was, ‘Meggie. I don’t think you really wive in Texas.’. Because I love you.”. Instead, she rattles off, “If you want a new house, you can jus...

Doggie business | My adventures abroad...

https://meganroseabroad.wordpress.com/2014/06/15/doggie-business

My adventures abroad…. This entry was posted on June 15, 2014, in Uncategorized. A few times in the past year, I’ve been asked to dog-sit. I don’t mind, until the dogs hate me and then I get all, “If you could only imagine how little I care right now” on them, and count the hours until I’m free. Then there’s the other extreme: Kisses. Like, really? No dog’s tongue shall come within 6 inches of my face, so long as I am in control of my life. UNNECESSARY ATTENTION AND GERMS! Go outside and pee already!

13.1 | My adventures abroad...

https://meganroseabroad.wordpress.com/2014/10/27/13-1

My adventures abroad…. This entry was posted on October 27, 2014, in Faith. I ran my fourth half-marathon yesterday. I crossed the finish line and burst into tears. I have never, ever, in my life cried from running before. I have cried at the thought of running. Cried at the prospect of how much weight I was gaining from NOT running, but completing a run has never brought me to tears before. First Half-marathon: I ran-walked. I was happy I had done it, and vowed to never repeat that adventure. My little ...

My adventures abroad…. What it means to be a third culture kid. This entry was posted on December 3, 2014, in Uncategorized. I sighed and turned my head, trying to hide my annoyance. 8220;Does your dad say, ‘Hello’ or ‘ello’ or ‘ay-lo’? I had been eavesdropping, listening to this on-going conversation for days-on-end, dragged into it on more than one occasion. They wanted to know how to sound like my father, because British accents are cool. They called me grumpy and we never spoke of it again. You are c...

Speak up | My adventures abroad...

https://meganroseabroad.wordpress.com/2014/08/12/speak-up

My adventures abroad…. This entry was posted on August 12, 2014, in Anger. Yesterday afternoon, something awful happened. Mental illness (not selfishness, mental illness. Took the life of Robin Williams. His pain is worth mourning, along with our own loss. Please help prevent this from happening to others. You can. And this is how…. Yesterday (the very day we lost Robin Williams), I took a business friend out for coffee, as a thank you for some help she had given me. Then it got real. I am so proud of her.

Reverse. Shock. Shock. Shock | My adventures abroad...

https://meganroseabroad.wordpress.com/2014/03/01/reverse-shock-shock-shock

My adventures abroad…. Reverse. Shock. Shock. Shock. This entry was posted on March 1, 2014, in Cross-cultural Situation. And tagged Cross-cultural situation. I went to my favorite international grocery store tonight, on a whim. I love this place. I love the chaos, and the colors and the wacky, miswritten signs. I love that I feel like I have stepped out of my home, and into another country. International waters. Usually, a visit is intoxicating. Let me be useful, FINALLY! Will you be polite, or pushy?

My adventures abroad…. Trying not to kill kindness. I haven’t had the best of weeks. By Thursday, I started feeling human again…and that’s when humanity could show it’s frightened face. Monday-Wednesday, I was wounded, battered and on edge. Tuesday, I purposefully fell asleep on the couch before 8 pm. Too angry and pitiful to go away to my room. This was after the … Continue reading →. I am grateful. I am grateful. I am grateful. I met this girl once in Bangkok, because I watched her and her sister-in-la...

My adventures abroad…. This entry was posted on February 28, 2014, in Aunthood. Drinking Tea at the Farmer’s Market. Lucy is 4, almost 5. Iana is 2 1/2. They’re hysterical, and have no grasp of reality. Iana, upon exiting a public restroom into the shop: Where’s the pancakes! Me: At my house, silly. Iana: This is your house? Lucy (pointing to my beer): What’s that? Lucy: Oh, Daddy juice. You drink it, too? Me: I love you, Iana. Iana: Yes, you do. Me: I love you, Lucy. Lucy: Tickle my toes! Lucy: I don&#8...
