Coincidentally, this weekend I stepped on a bee in the garden and the first thing I thought of was that damn Italian bee. Now, wouldn't you know my foot is starting to swell up?
Here's a blast from the past:

Bon Giorno
I've been thinking about my trip to Italy when I was 17 - right out of high school, I returned home with our exchange student and spent the summer with her. Oh boy, did we have fun. I need to start brushing up on my Italian again. I'm going to teach M how to say Amore mio, sei molto bella. Baciami! When I was in Italy, my friend and I used to say really stupid things to each other in crowded places, like, Hai un'infezione vaginale and Hai un piede deformato* because I stepped on a bee when I was there and my foot swelled up to three times its normal size and I couldn't even put on my shoe. Now I need to learn how to say more sophisticated things like Vorrei ancora una bottiglia di vino rosso, per favore and Desidero fare l'amore voi.

Uhm... hello? Picture of gorgeous, tanned, 17 year old self? (:
Beyond Gorgeous! What a Great time you had (even carried a pretty bag back then!)...wonder what ever happened to to our foreign exchange student? She sure was fun to have around!
How cosmopolitan you were, even at that age. I bet your summer with M put "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" to shame. I'm waiting for your book:)
I just showed Robin that picture of you, and she said "aww! She looks exactly the same!" See, you're still tanned and gorgeous, even if you're not 17. :)
