Veggie Enchiladas

I'm sorry again for total lack of blogs, i actually started writing them but then had to leave to do something else and never got to finish, i cant believe you are all still so dedicated to me :) Thank you.! I really am grateful for it :)
 So on saturday i was staying round my friend hannahs house with Alice as she's moving to Spain on friday so we wanted to have one last night all together before she left. Literally had a really good night for the first time in ages, I've been really struggling with being around people right now and would rather lock myself in my room for hours than do anything else but i found that night to be actually ok. I hated going into tesco to buy munchies so instead decided it was ok to act like a total retard to try and make myself feel better...i have this huge hate for food right now. I am lucky with Hannah is a super good cook and reallly knows how to make good food. Well she was suggesting we should have enchiladas for dinner and im so stupid i actually had to ask what that was, and because im veggie i couldnt eat the normal recipe...So instead of adding meat to mine we added butterbeans and mushrooms instead. It actually looked amazing, smelt fantastic and for the bit that i ate was fantastic..I just literally couldnt eat much because of the calories and fat within it. Definatly try swapping! even if you are not veggie because it's really good....! :) 

I am so totally in love with peppers though, i'm literally obsessed with them they are actually one of my favourite foods. This picture on the right...oh my gosh i think i could have eaten the whole plate had they not been needed to make food for four people. They are super healthy and taste fantastic and i love how they all taste different just because of their color.. I wanted a picture of the peppers the second they were chopped,,and was being so fussy about it it was unreal, this picture is not my face but i think foodwise the peppers look most yummy here which is why i picked it. 

Well apart from that it was good just to have a good night, my hangups over the food were not particularly helpful, but then at the same time, i do just want to loose a few stone then i will be happy,i hate my body right now. We got to sit and just talk about anything and everything and you cannot realise how much i actually needed that. We even got to sleep at a normal time haha, i can't believe that...normally we are up all night and never sleep! and if you add how much i have trouble sleeping in for me to be able to go to sleep earlyish was really good! 
I had a good night, a really good night, i love being around people that make me happy. :)

Germany Day Three

So today was the only day i was dreading in Germany, and the only day we already had plans for so we couldnt do anything else. Months and months back the Young Americans said they were going to be doing a dinner theatre in Germany, and at the time i was a little excited, i mean that i had always wanted to see the show in Michigan but never had the time nor money to get over there, nor would i survive the flight without freaking out, so this, then, seemed a good opportunity, so many of my friends were asking if i wanted to go with them. Then something happened a little before i was going but by then i already had my ticket which was 69 euros, plus my entire host family's tickets...it was alot of money to just throw away because i didnt want to go, i coundlt do that to my host family and quite honestly i didnt even get the guts to bring it up till the night before where i was panicking so much i didnt have a choice but to come clean!

ANYWAY, the dinner theatre was in this beautiful town called Bad Karlshafen, which i have always wanted to visit, so that made me excited a little. i had a friend there who i would be seeing at dinner theatre, so the whole idea of this made me happy, We spent the day looking around the Town and taking pictures, we were at one point going to swimming but thanks to my wonderful hair still turning bright orange and leaving bright orange streaks everywhere when wet, we decided against that! When it came to getting ready for dinner theatre we popped into the toilets of the spa, to get dressed then headed back out into the parking lot like idiots to get our make up done :) My host family went camping alot so they had a huge camping mirror in the back of their car, thank god! because i think that otherwise i would have literally died! Half hour later my make up was on and i was in a bad mood because i was having a really ugly day and looked uglier than ever, so i decided that i would just breathe, and get my hair done...my hair is naturally curly so i brought some moose with me, a little of that and bang my hair is up, only it was actually hairspray, and i didnt have time to wet my hair and dry it...so i got my straightens out and went to head back into the spa and beg them if i could use them to re go over my hair because it was looking awful and i couldn't curl it, then i realised that i didnt have adapter plug and literally burst into tears, i took this as a sign that the rest of the day was going to go just as bad...

When we walked into the dinner theatre however the whole atmosphere totally made me feel better, this wonderful guy called Sam came over and asked me if i wanted a drink, after he handed me the menu i realised how scared i actually still was because i was shaking so hard, i said 'oh just get me champagne' not realising that i would actually not be able to hold that i was shaking so much, even though my fam thought it was funny..!!! A friend of mine/aquatince whatever, then came over to me, and for the first part that was sufficiently awkward because i didnt exatly know what to do.. (i get like such a klutz in some situations) and i previously thought they had not wanted me there so it was hard for me, but i think after a few glasses of chamange i was ok again :) I was still shaking so hard when i went outside to smoke, still a little scared and realised just how many cigarettes i had got though in that day, i felt awful it was a crazy amount and not like me at all, ever!!! I guess its because i was always trying to have a cigarette in my hand so i didn't have to go inside. I'm happy i finally calmed down though, because the show was fucking amazing, and defiantly worth every single penny (or cent in the case) that i payed for it. I could have literally gone back every night and seen it over and over again and I dont think i would have got bored of it at all. I would recommend the show to anyone even if you are not into the performing arts because you would actually love it! I felt blessed by the end of the night, but tired, and i think because of how stressful the whole day had been, i got a huge headache....i slept in the car the entire way home (with a pit stop the throw up (classy) ) then got into bed and slept again, but it was a wonderful day...my host family said we are 100% going to do the same next year so another blog to come in a year or so!!!! :)
