I am...


sitting next to the sweetest kitty, who wakes me up super early in the morning by purring in my ear.

updating my calendar for the beginning of the school year, beginning of MSN, weddings, and life in general.

feeling overwhelmed at the amount of conflicts I already have on my calendar for the rest of August.

missing sweet hubby, who left for music camp today, after only seeing him 2.5 days, and all of it jet lagged.

feeling like it is super late, even though it is only 9:24, and thinking that I should be over this jet lag business by now.

wishing that there was a castle I could see from any point of my run.



scared to run in the 100 degree heat, so quickly getting out of shape as I eat cheesecake for supper.

excited to go shopping with my mama and sister tomorrow, and hopeful that I'll find some black shirts appropriate for school, since I shrunk my last one in the dryer yesterday by accident.

happy that roommate is coming to stay with me for a few days while she moved into her new place after her summer adventures.



not looking forward to cleaning the cat hair off of everything sweet hubby missed (particularly the curtains).

delighted that I get to pick up some pictures from my trip and my mama's camera tomorrow to frame for my house and for school.

sad that I'm barely on vacation anymore.

sad that I'm not at the beach.

sad that sweet hubby isn't home.

happy that we are so blessed that we can take vacations, go to the beach, and be home together at all, anytime.

wishing, just wishing, that we had castles here.

if you met me...

Linking up at the Gypsy Mama . If you met me.... I'd be happy to chat for a little while, unless I was watching the clock and trying to manage my time. Sometimes I try, sometimes I don't. If you met me at school, I'd only speak to you in Spanish. For real. Unless there were no kids around, in which case I could speak to you in English. If you met me at the beach, I'd be running around in my pjs or a bikini. All the time. I think I even forgot to pack shorts for the current beach trip. Who needs shorts when there are bikinis and sunshine? If you met me, you might think I'm ridiculous about how much I love my husband and our cat. And please don't ask me, after you hear that we've been married for five years, if we have any kids. If I didn't mention any, I probably don't have any. And if I didn't mention on my own that I one day want to have kids, don't ask me when I'm planning to. I think it is rude, and personal, and you never kn

five minute friday

Linking up for Five Minute Friday hosted by the gypsy mama. It's Friday morning, there is no school today, and I am wide awake. I have been since about 20 minutes after my alarm usually goes off. I grabbed the cat, shoved her under the covers, and told sweet hubby "Merry Christmas". He wasn't very amused, starting scratching my head to get me to go back to sleep...but I am awake. Awake, and awakening, and growing in awareness. Last weekend was a wake-up call to me. We had a couple of friends over to watch movies on Saturday night, and by Sunday, sweet hubby and I were not on speaking terms. When we finally spoke again, late on Tuesday, I said painful words to sweet hubby.... If you are the person who was in my living room on Saturday night, then I don't want to know you. --I'm not.-- Then you will have to show me. And so we are both awakening to the task of rediscovering how to be good to one another, kind, respectful, building one another up as we r

so far away

Linking up to the Gypsy Mama's five minute Friday.... Chile is so far away. My husband's homeland, the place where he most wants to be. His mama is there, his daddy is there, his brothers and cousins and grandmas and the people who mattered most to him for so so so long are there, and we are here. Here in the very different US, with values thrown at us everyday that seem to say that his childhood was inferior and that returning to a life like that would be the most unwise choice. Here, where the only way to get from one place to another is by car. Here, where without a college degree a "real job" is impossible to come by. Here, where being a legal resident costs thousands of dollars, time, and ridiculous interviews where people question whether you are actually married. Distance is what happens when it is time for the holidays, time to remember family traditions, and the people who are still celebrating them, even though he is far away, thrust into the midst of
