Just a few more days left in Texas until we depart for Istanbul. I'm so excited! We're still waiting for our passports to come in the mail which is distressing, but I am going to call them this afternoon to make sure they're actually in the mail. Worse case scenario (I HOPE) is that Sam will stop by the consulate tomorrow while he's dropping Nick off at school.
Sam was looking up words that sounded cool in Turkish to name our blog and he decided on "tea lights," which in Turkish is "çay ışıklar." It's basically just the word for tea and the word for lights... which is not actually a real thing in Turkish. So he asked Gokçen what the word would be and he texted me "piriltilar" so I had to figure out which I to use (i or ı). "Pırıltilar" means glitters, but I accidentally typed in "pırı tırlar" which means, "achieved cult status among truckers."
It's obvious which one had to be picked for the blog name.
Herp derp!
ReplyDeleteI am genuinely jealous of your international travels. So neat!
ReplyDeleteNo, don't worry about it. We're going to the mall later today.
