New Roommate

I was just given a new roommate yesterday, and I really am not looking forward to it...

Not to be a pessimist, but I really hate sharing bedrooms with people (Kristin was an exception because she was awesome).

Lubna, my new roommate is a 35 year old woman from Iraq. She seems super sweet and I'm sure it will be a great experience, but grrrr. Mid-day nappers don't make good roommates, and that's whats currently going on. I hate having to tip toe around at 2:00 in the afternoon when I have things that needs to be done. She also has quite a strong perfume that she wears, and my room doesn't smell like me when I walk in which I don't really like :/

Merrrr. It'll be fine. On the upside, I spent last evening in Kilrea helping celebrate Tom's 22nd birthday. He had about 15 friends over at his house, and I was the only one not born and bred in Kilrea. 'Twas good craic! Tom's little sister was shocked (and looked a little disappointed) that I was from Minnesota and didn't have the stereotypical accent. Thank goodness!

I'm with a new group this morning until tomorrow afternoon called Active Dads, which I'm really excited about. It's a group of ten fathers from East Belfast up for a night for bonding activities with their wee ones. It's great to see the dads out! Also semi amusing watching tough men from a loyalist background in their parenting mode. One already asked me if I am married. Awkward. I'm leading out an arts and crafts session for the kids tonight while the parents are in a lecture, so that hopefully will go well :)

I think my typing is disrupting Ms. Lubna's slumber, so I shall say Ta for now.
