After the break

After a long break I am finally back. I went with my team on a mission overseas. We flew to our dear Ciudad Real to check out not only on Elvis’ vocal improvements, but on grandma’s cooking as well. The trip was rewarding, especially for Boris. After riding camels for twelve long months far away in Mesopotamia, it was really nice to enjoy those awesome tapas that can be found only in Ciudad Real.

I will keep you posted :)

COMING HOME

BORIS IS COMING HOME TODAY. I talked to him last night. He was in Kwait waiting to board the plane. After a year apart, we are feeling like this is our first date.

¡BIENVENIDO A CASA, GUAPíSIMO!

Shah Rukh Khan and his twin brother

I just read in a Spanish newspaper that Shah Rukh Khan has now his very own wax statue at the Madame Tussaud museum in London. I wish I could have a reproduction in my house!

Daphne dreams again

Poor Daphne is not feeling well. Last night she barely slept. She has been running a high fever for the last 24hours and she has been coughing like crazy. Doctor D. says she has a sore-throat, so she gave us some magic medicine. This morning my Daphne came with me to class. Luckily security did not see us entering the building, hehehe.

She watched "Little Einsteins" on the computer while I was in the world of the imperfect subjunctive. Then we went home. Tonight she was running a fever again, but once the medicine kicked in, she went back to her throne in the world of Barney, Elmo, Dora, Diego and co.

Fayetteville 3rd "India Festival"

Last Saturday Daphne and I were able to briefly attend the 3rd Annual India Festival in the Crown Arena of Fayetteville, NC. This year it was a total success and we had a great time. On the sad side, we were not able to try the delicious food they were selling because the queues were eternal...Well, we can always go to the Bombay Bistro, right?

We could enjoy several performances and Daphne started to dance just like the kids on stage. Also, I was able to purchase a couple of movies that I hope to watch once all this madness at my house gets to an end, hopefully by next week.

After so much dancing, Daphne got tired and we headed back home to take a deserved nap. Next year we will be there as sson as they open, so we can choose all the dishes we want.

Remodeling my home

My superhero will be home in just 10 days. In the last minute I decided to do some improvements to our home and now the house is a mess!!! I hope to have everything back to normal before the "deadline". So far, the painting is mission accomplished, and this weekend it is time for the hard-wood floors. I have been removing the carpet and the padding all by myself, so we can save around a thousand bucks right there. My whole body aches and my hands are killing me. I have removed thousands of nails and staples and tones of dust!!! The worst part is that I have no time to watch Bollywood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Here you can see part of my ordeal:

Running out of time

I want to post, I really, really want to post, but I have no time. Boris Masala will be home in three weeks and I have so many things to do to surprise him!!! I am painting several rooms, the stairs, and hallways. I am also doing some landscaping, fixing the fence and getting estimates from different contractors because I would like to build a patio with red pavers in the backyard, just behind the pool. All this "house work" is on addition to my full-time teaching job, my full-time super-mami job, my part-time soccer-mom job and, of course, my part-time dance-mom job.

I HAVE NO TIME IN FAYETTEVILLE, NC, USA

NO TENGO TIEMPO EN CIUDAD REAL, CASTILLA LA MANCHA, ESPAÑA
