Click here for Spicer’s boring blog

by Emily Spicer

Wow. I don’t even know how to start one of these things out. First off, I miss everyone and I hope you are feeding my fish and plants. India has been a blast so far. I could not contain the joy I had when I saw a huge (and I mean huge) black spider next to our toilet on day 1. Not only did Sam not kill it, but he managed to scare it into a huge hole in our wall… Man, India is amazing (:  Hmmm.. Oh,  I went pee twice in the squat toilets and I think I can say I’m a pro at it! The plane ride was so much more than I could have asked for. Literally. On our way to South Korea, I was blessed to be sitting next to Gabby and some girl who was dead asleep the second she sat down. No clue what she was on, but I wanted some. So anyways, she kept falling asleep on Gabby and then at one point mid-flight, she smacked her head so hard against the window and didn’t even flinch. I definitely think I peed a little. 

Back to India, let’s talk about the big M (cannabis). It’s everywhere. Next to the schools, next to the hotel, etc. There are fields upon fields of cannabis. I want to make jokes about this topic, but I also don’t want my post to be taken down. They have cows that walk around to their hearts content. Their favorite place to chill is in a parking lot and they like to eat trash. 

Mom… I may come home with 50,000 dogs because they’re everywhere. Just an FYI. India is gorgeous, I brought too much food, I’m not organized, I’m probably going to die with the way they drive, I have no idea what else to say, I want Panda Express and Velveta Mac and Cheese, our hotel is cool, this kid Sahil makes me want to pull my hair out because he steals crayons, I feel dirty, don’t ask me what day it is because I still feel like it’s Saturday, bucket showers are surprisingly relaxing, I’m taking pictures of everything (at mom), I’m rocking this uniform, I’m becoming one with nature and I will probably be able to control time soon (at Kaitlyn), food is great, I’m probably not drinking enough water, Despacito isn’t my favorite song (at Jeffypoopoo), I love you all (at family) and I kinda have to pee right now. The kids are great and it’s amazing to see how attached they get to you just after 1 day. 

Alright I’m tired and I want to sleep. Goodnight or good morning to everyone!

   My dearest Emily,

   You post is not "boring" at all. I love the pics on the blog and can’t wait to see even more when you get home. I am SO sorry to hear of the spider. It has to make the toilet process even more difficult for you know, and I know how hard the process was in the first place. I am glad to hear that you have mastered peeing in the hole though, and will await your #2 blog post (pun intended). We haven’t forgotten to feed your fish or your plants (speaking of plants, stay away from the free-range cannabis in India). It think it’s amazing that cows roam free and eat trash – that doesn’t sound vegan to me. Anyhow, life continues on here in Colorado, albeit a lot quieter without you around…
   Love you!

   Hi Emily,
   I miss you so much and I cried a little bit the night when you were leaving. Hopefully I will be here to see you come home. And I like feeding your fish when you are gone. And I will draw a picture for you and when you come home it will show you how much I missed you. Grace also misses you. And Mooshu misses you much more.
   Love you lots. See you when you get back home.

   This is the best blog I’ve ever read. (Really the only blog I’ve ever read). But I miss you too! I do hope you can control time soon because I’ve been coming downstairs every night at 3 am hoping you’re floating in the living room like you said. I wish I could see all the roaming cows cause that would make my life. Take pictures of them. Love you!!

   I just wanted to reassure you that Avery is taking the task of caring for your fish very seriously.. she slept over at our place Saturday.. and this is the text she sent your mom at 11:48 pm "Good night remember to remind Liz to feed the fish" 🙂

   Hi Em! Glad to hear things are going well so far. You are going to rock India. It sounds a bit like Morocco with all of the free roaming animals. Can’t wait to see all of your pictures!

   Also, I did remember to feed the fish.

    This is great! Please keep blogging! And I think we need to do an official slide show when we get to Colorado with a projector, screen, and popcorn.

    That spider sounds massive! I’ll have to tell you about the one I found in a hole in my yard- stuff of nightmares.

    Be safe! Miss my sweet Emma!!
    Love Auntie

    Hi Emily
    Such a cool blog to read Emma, it’s great to read about your adventure so far.
    Sorry to hear about the spider there. Hopefully you found something to plug the hole with, or any other holes there might be.
    Curious to hear how the food is there. And please try to drink as much water as you can.
    The memorial day bbq and games were great and I bet you would have been a great competitor.
    I miss you and love you very much, and couldn’t be more proud of you and your accomplishments.
    Cant wait to read more
    Love Dad
