I flew up to New Jersey yesterday to see my family. The upside to the visa hassles and life upheaval is that I get to visit my folks! It’s been just under a year since I’ve seen my family. Now I can eat my mom’s cooking, read Cosmo, speak English all the time, get on [...]

Isabel: …and that’s the baby’s paccy.
Meg: A paccy? You mean this? A pacifier?
