This summer while living the grand life in Italy, we'd always shop at the Euro store(very classy, I know). The Euro store is like the 99cents store to us. Hey man, we were poor Jr. College students just trying to survive in a foreign country. :)

We ate constantly there. We did a lot of walking so our appetites and metabolisms were both running wild. If you know me, you know that I LOVE salty foods!! I can go years without chocolate but I HAVE to have my salt. I found some wonderful cheeto-like snacks at the euro store and they were heavenly!! I'm not sure if they were white cheddar or mozzarella flavored but they were HEAVENLY!!! I had some almost everyday that I was there. I even bought some on my last day there and brought them home with me. When I ate my last bag, I was sad because I knew I'd never have them again.

Today I went shopping at Walmart and I saw Mozzarella cheetos!!! The warm wonderful memories of my cheese shock came flooding back to me. I remember sitting in my living room watching dubbed friends, dubbed southpark and subtitled making the band and our favorite italian gameshow....with my bag of cheese shock! I remember snacking on my cheese shock in class, during tours and field trips or in the middle of the night when I'd just get wild cravings and couldn't sleep because it was too hot......

I miss Italy. With every breath that I take, I miss it.

The Cheetos weren't that good but I thank the Frito-Lay company for the effort anyway.

    Luvly Lady, I love this post. You "will" eat them again when you are back in Italy! Italy is waiting for you too. Maybe someday I'll meet you there and eat cheese shock with you.
    Ci vediamo alla settimana prossima!.

    But you have to admit the "euro Store" sounds way more glamorous then "99 cents store"

    Are you Linda from Gabby's B-day? If so I think I have a picture of you... :)

It is dark again. I close my eyes and see your face. I want for nothing more than to just be near you all the time. I find you often at night. In slumber, you are mine and nobody else’s. I take you in my arms and your face changes. When my hand brushes your cheek, your eyes open and you see me in true light. My flaws never frighten you and you take me unconditionally. The longer we talk, the more complete I become. But in one swift moment, I open my eyes and you are gone. This pain is familiar; this longing I feel. She’s been with me since birth and we’ve even become great friends. She’s with me in the darkness and never leaves me lonely. I reach for you and instead it is she who embraces me. I’ve learned to accept her as a part of me. There are times when I try to leave her in my past. I move forward to try to stand alone. But it never fails. As I trip over the broken pieces of my heart, it is always She who catches me. She reminds me that she’s not a stranger and we hold hands as ...

Who the heck is this Huntress and what does she have to say?

Let me tell you a little about how the Huntress came to be....   I've always joked about my vagina having a mind of her own. She is her own entity. I try to control her but she cannot be tamed. I keep her clean and healthy. But I cannot keep her quiet. Anytime I would meet a man that I found attractive, I would say she's on the hunt. Going out on weekends I would tell my friends we were going hunting. And one day we just started calling her The Huntress.    So on a late night, sitting in a car with a friend, I went on quite a rant. I unleashed every thought without filter about friends, family, relationships, sex; EVERYTHING! And she looked at me and said, "we should start a podcast" In that moment I knew my Huntress didn't just have a voice, but a voice that deserved to be heard and NEEDED to be heard. And it was up to me to create that platform. A place where HONEST and RAW opinions could be shared without fear of judgement.   So we recorded a few test epi...

I was looking high and low for you. I tried to remember the last time I saw you. It took me awhile but I finally put my finger on it. So I tried to retrace my steps from that last encounter. Its no wonder why I lost you along the way. With every step forward it was like I was knocked out or knocked down. But what choice did I have but to keep getting up and taking another step forward. When I least expected it, I looked in the mirror and there you were. Like an old familiar friend with a new hairstyle and a few more lines on your face that didnt make you look older, just more experienced. I reached my arms out to embrace you! I missed you so much and all I wanted was to hold on to you forever. But I made the mistake of blinking and you've gone away again......
