No Excuses...

There are no excuses. I've been a mala blogger. 2 anos! Hay! Pero, I've decided to come back. And be serious. You know, get things together. Maybe share some of my wedding planning.

We've got so much to catch up on. Pero, I'm going to start fresh and nuevo. It just feels better this way. So stay tuned. It should be fun!

Lazy Domingo

Hay dias when I don't want to do a thing. Hoy, it has been a lazy dia. Pero, it was just what I needed. The only productive thing that I have done, is going to church. Pero, the morning was not without it's drama. Why can't I be on time on Sundays? We ran around this morning, and barely made it with 2 minutos to spare. Hay Dios Mio!

After mass, mi hombrecito y yo went to brunch. It was nice. A leisurely meal and conversation. Then we headed home. Y mis pjs were screaming to put them on. It became a lazy dia. I was all decked out in pjs. We had a nice stack of DVDs that needed to be watched. Si! And that is what we did. All dia long!

Until mi hombrecito left to get us dinner. We have been couch potatoes all dia long! I haven't done anything but watch TV and movies. And eat! I am finding that Domingos are turning into my lazy dias of the semana. Is that bad?

Ensamble Twitter

I joined Twitter just now. Because everyone is always talking about it. Already, I am having fun. Mi hombrecito keeps telling me that I am going to get addicted to it. Pero, I don't think so. Not yet anyway. You can look at my twitter page. I don't know if you will learn anything important about me. Pero, I think this is going to be a place to have a little more fun. Maybe hablan con mis amigos more regularly. Who knows. But I am glad I signed up.

Drugas y Insurance

If you are in Cuidad Juarez, drugs are now legal. Drugas were legalized hoy! Not in large quantities. Pero, they are legal. I think it is under a gram. Everything from marijuana to heroin. If you are caught con drugas, you get a warning the first 2 times. On the 3rd, you have to go to a drug program. Como? Legal drugas. Does anyone else see the problema aqui? If there is a drug problem, like the one in Cuidad Juarez, you don't legalize las drugas!

Pero, onto better news. If you are in Mexico City, through the end of el ano 2009, you can get free health insurance. It is available to todos personas going through or living in Mexico City. Pero, it is not for people with chronic or on going illness. Just for la gente who gets sick right now in Mexico City. Don't fear getting sick while traveling in Mexico City, you are covered.

Missing Home

Ultimamente, I miss home. I feel like una ninita. Pero, I miss home. This work project seems to not be moving forward. They are blaming it on the economy. Pero, I don't know. We just keep running around in circles. I am not usually someone who let's things get to me. Pero, I am tired. I am tired of these hombres, this heat, esta cuidad.

I want to go home. I don't mean the poca cuidad I was living in to work. Mis amigos live there. Pero, it is still cuatro horas from mi familia. Tres y media from mi casita. I like being there. La vida is mas simple. Pero, hay mucho calor alli. I like being there. Mis amigos are wonderful. Pero, I miss home. Miss mi cama. Miss mi casita!

It's not that I don't like mi trabajo. Pero, it just gets old being away for so long. Sin City is not all that it is cracked up to be. Y being here for tres meses is too long! Especialmente in the summer! I just need a break. A break to go home and relax. Take some tiempo away from this project. Charge my batteries.
