English couchsurfers

we finally had our first couchsurfing guests wed. and thurs. night and it was really fun! if you don't know what couchsurfing is, go to: http://www.couchsurfing.org/

jens couchsurfed at a couple people's places in san marcos in the past month and it went really well so when we got a request from two english girls we accepted! they both just finished university and are taking a huge road trip all over the u.s. and canada for 6 months! it sounds so awesome! i really wish jens and i could do that!

they arrived wed. night and we grilled portobello mushrooms and other veggies for fajitas and they were a hit! we just talked all about their trip, some about our travels and various other random things. it was a good time! after dinner we had some intense chocolate cake that they had brought with tea which they said was the first "proper" cup of tea they had had since being in the states! score one for the rushings lol

we chatted til midnight and then went to bed.

the next morning jens had to leave early for emt school unfortunately but i got up and made a big breakfast of homemade biscuits, scrambled eggs and pepper bacon. it was good if i do say so myself ;o)

the girls went into dallas that day and visited the dallas museum of art. i didn't get to hear how their day went yet because i worked 3-11pm last night and only briefly met up with them after. jens, joel, patrick and selene took them out to potager for dinner and then caves for some beer. i met up with them at caves around 11:30p-12a. they had to get up fairly early today to hit the road again but i stayed out with joel, patrick and selene and we ended up talking to this funny, gregarious guy nicknamed hermes. i also saw two half price books employees up there which was cool! one of them said she goes up there every thursday for the karaoke. jens, joel and patrick did some songs but i much prefer the asian-style private room karaoke lol i don't like singing in front of strangers :oP

we crashed at joel's since we couldn't really drive home and there is of course NO public transit (BOOOO!) and then we had to get up at 6am so i could take selene to her car and she could get home and ready for work by 8:30am! i was REALLY glad i didn't have to work til 3pm today lol i got home and slept til about 10-10:30am. the english had already left and i felt kind of bad that i didn't see them off but i don't think they had much time to chat this morning anyway.

overall our first couchsurfing hosting experience was awesome! the girls were fun to talk to and it was really interesting to meet new people, especially from another country! i would definitely recommend it!

i work again today 3-11pm and i think jens and his band have a gig tonight at the health and harmony house coffee shop near uta. i may try to meet up with them when i get off work but i dunno if they'll still be out. i close sat. and sun. at work also but i have monday off. not sure what my plans are yet.

i'm hoping to do something really fun on sat. april 2 because it'll be my first sat. off since working at half price! woohoo! party time! :o)

ok i'm gonna go get ready for work now! happy friday!
