It’s been raining a lot lately and I haven’t done much with my life…. just going to work and coming back home day after day. Today I got off work at ten in the morning like every Friday, and since it was raining cats and dogs I stayed inside my house all day long.

I saw the night was coming so I told Sebastian to go with me to the grocery store before it was too late. I’m afraid of walking alone at night in this town, because the streets are dark and I hate the croaking of the frogs coming from the ditches along the path.

We bought some things and retuned home trying to avoid the 100000 potholes that decorate our streets. It’s not that the mayor of the city doesn’t care about repairing the streets; the truth is that he wants our town to resemble the moon, full of craters, to make us feel we are in heaven. Clever guy, ah?

Back home, I was about to open the front door when I saw this little monster working very hard to rebuild her net.

Today, yesterday, and the day before, this tiny and stubborn spider has been trying to set her web in my door. The problem is that the only thing “she” catches is ME when I try to go out.

I can’t believe how obstinate she is!!! Well, possibly, it’s not the same spider; nevertheless, for sure it’s a relative LOL.

I’m going to wait a couple of hours to see if the web is ready and then I’ll take another picture….that if I don’t forget about it and the web ends all over my face AGAIN!!!

Have I told you how much I hate spiders? Well, I hate them A LOT. It doesn’t matter if they are big or small; they are all horrendous monsters that scare the hell out of me. You could perfectly say I’m arachnophobic, for when I see one either I get paralyzed or I overkill the enemy with whatever I have at hand. So, why on earth am I taking pictures of this one? Aha! That’s because I’m trying to face my phobia, that’s the new trend, isn’t it? I read it here and here

I also saw it on TV, but mostly I’m doing it because I’m bored and I have nothing else to do he he he.

Well, time to go. I want you to know I’m doing fine. I’ve missed you more than you can possibly imagine. I appreciate that you have stayed around all the time I was gone.

It is true when I say you are more than gifts to my soul.

Love you

UPDATE ( 3hours later)

Oops! I think I shouldn’t have touched it…. LOL

***HaStA LuEgO***

I won’t be posting for a while. Remember I love you. Please don’t forget about me ok?

You are all in my heart

After all the raining we had on Saturday, it was really good to wake up on Sunday and see the sun shining again. I went to the lake, as usual, and I took my beach chairs with me. I sat under some huge eucalyptus and had a few Mates there…very relaxing!!

Then I started to look around and I noticed that many wild flowers had bloomed and that some plants had grown a lot lately, so I went back home, grabbed the camera and took some pictures.

It was getting late and I hadn’t cooked anything for lunch, so I said bah bye to the lake and hello to the kitchen. I prepared some “empanadas” (for homework, please go to wikipedia and get some information about that food) Oh, I’M SORRY!!! You are not my students LOL
The thing is that I needed some parsley to add flavor to my meat, so I went to my backyard to get some. SURPRISE!! I have NO idea how this plant got there, but under the parsley I found this!! I took the picture because I may not know how it got there, but I do know where it will end mmmmm.

A Pumpkin?? Yeahhhhhh

Well, I have to go….dinner is ready. Would you like an EMPANADA?

Note: have a glass of water VERY close to you LOL

Love you all guys!

I’m a lady, so I spent some moments just thinking how to say this nicely. Well, I finally came to this conclusion….there’s no polite way, so here it goes:

Get the F*ck out of my blog!!!
No, this is not for you my friends, you are always more than welcome to come, comment and express yourselves; this is your house, too.
Let me put it this way, everybody who comes here regularly knows what I’ve been through. You know about my suffering, my tears and my desperate urgency of going on with my life.
Now, what if I told you that THAT person or his “allofasuddenwifeandmotherofhisnewbornchild” is coming secretly to my blog to check what I’m doing with my existence?
Well, he/she is doing that. How do I know it? I have many friends in Puerto Rico, and when I say “many” I mean it. That’s how I finally found out the truth he refused to tell me…. I still don’t know why he decided to act so maliciously….anyway….
The fact is that when I felt I was ready to face the truth, it took me two seconds to get the answer. Like it or not, he is surrounded by many people I know well and who love me…they didn’t want to see me crying so they went out to check what was going on, hence, I knew it immediately. Same thing now, checking ip is easy if you have friends who can prove where the connection comes from. I got you, now leave me alone!!
Both of you: Check this list, if you please:
My life
What I do
What I don’t do
What I want
If I cry
If I have someone in my life or I don’t
If I’m coming or going
If I’m happy or sad
If I hate you
All of these and more…

*****IT’S NOT YOUR BUISNESS******
***Don’t you dare to come here again. Show some respect to yourself***

That being said, I’ll go on with my post, which is by far more important than wasting my time with him or her…or both? Who knows….

These days I’ve been outside a lot. The only idea of the coming Fall makes me want to seize each moment I have to enjoy the sun. I don’t like cold days!!
I took some low quality pictures, but I’d love to share them with you. Take a look. (I don’t know how to change the date in my camera!! the real date was Thursday 15, 2007) click on “ver todas las fotos” to see the pics!!!

 

It’s Friday!!! And tonight I’m going dancing with some friends. I hope to have fun and……shake shake shake

Can you see the hummingbird? They come everyday to my hibiscus. I love them, so tiny, so fast.
After having a sip, the little bird had a one-second rest on the electricity wires.

But they aren’t the only ones that come to my flowers…..

If you look carefully you’ll see a bumble bee inside the flower. Yes, you may be saying “big deal, a bumblebee” There are millions of pictures of them….well, but not a picture of the one that got angry with me and followed all the way home!!!

Manuel is afraid of bees, so he stayed inside just in case…

This is HiFi, my cat. While I was trying to capture the hummingbird, he was fighting with a ghost LOL. I could never get to see what he was afraid of.

Later that afternoon Manuel told me there was a gift for me over the table, so this is what I found….

So sweet!!! Oh oh my hibiscus!!!!!!!!!!!

Ruth, would you invite him to your garden? LOL

In the afternoon, it started to rain and if there is something that we, Uruguayans do when it rains it is eating “Tortas Fritas”

The last picture goes for AUDS

I went dancing last night and I had a really good time with some friends. I came home around 8 am, so you can imagine how sleepy I am now. It doesn’t matter at all…I should do it more often.
It’s been raining the whole afternoon and I had planned many outdoors activities for today. Bad luck, now I’m staying indoors…let’s see what I can do behind these walls. Oh!! I know!! I’ll take a nap…..39 + 8am= WORN OUT WOMAN…but with a smile on my face, ohhhhhhhh yesssssssssss. Nobody can take it away!!
Talking ‘bout rainy days……

Most of you met me under a heavy rain, remember? Sad days that now are fading for good… In thosee days my soul was wet for all the tears I shed and I felt everything was going down…..something like this:

And then even worse…

But now the rain is getting lighter…. and warmer and I feel like….

Though, to be honest, I’d like this better yessssssssssssssssss

I went around some blogs some minutes ago and I could see this weekend was in general really good. Some friends were painting the town orange; another friend got some winks…nice!! And me? Well, my weekend, in particular today, was beautiful.
It was a warm autumn day. Yes, I know fall hasn’t started yet, but the color of the sun, the air, everything says it is coming very fast.
Damian and I went to the lake early in the afternoon. We took the boat, the camera and some food and drinks to have a sort of improvised picnic. We also took some bread for the geese, but there were many people feeding them so we saved it for tomorrow.
Seba and Manu didn’t want to come with us, so we spent some time alone rowing and chatting a lot. Actually, he rowed….I just sat in the boat and enjoyed the ride.
I think we spent more than two hours in the water and another two on the shore, just sunbathing and having “mate”.
We came home after dusk. If I hadn’t had to cook, I would have stayed longer.
Now it’s almost midnight and we finished dinner some minutes ago. It doesn’t matter because I wish this Sunday lasted a little more.
I’m coloring my hair borgonia!!! I tell you later how it went. Hugs and Kisses for everyone.

My friend Dami showing his skill as a sailor

Dami again, showing a different kind of skill

I swear I was taken aback!!! I just hugged him because I thought I was falling LOL
Good things of being free to live again.

SoMe GoOd ThInGs Do HaPpEn

I have been through difficult times lately and yesterday night I finally knew the whole truth. If it hurt me? Too much indeed. However, I won’t waste my time tumbling on my misery and making all that pain grow more than I can stand. The only thing I’ll say is that I know now that all my tears of the past days and the ones yet to come are something he didn’t deserve at all. Not even one of them.

Let me tell you about the good things.
Classes started last week and everything went right. The first day of class I was a little nervous because for the first time in a long time I had to teach a group quite big, 20 students. Last year my groups had no more than 10 students each. I was also jumpy because last year I taught only beginners and now I have to teach people who are taking international examinations. I was/am afraid of having lost most of the language because I didn’t have the chance of practicing it as I should have.
Anyway, the class was nice and I left the room pleased but really tired.
When I got home I kissed my kids, prepared dinner and when they went to bed I sat in front my PC to check my emails and the blog. Surprise!!! I had a message from one of my students saying he had enjoyed the class a lot, that it was “Analia’s style” and that I was the best. Nice ah? I know I’m not the best, but it was a rewarding and flattering remark. After that, a student I had last year called me and asked if I could be his teacher again because he doesn’t understand a word his new teacher says LOL. His teacher is my co-worker and I know he’s real good!!! But in general, beginner students tend to view through rose-tinted glasses the first teacher they have. It happened to me long time ago; I remember with love my first English teacher, she means a lot to me even today.
Those are some of the good things that happened to me regarding my work.
Now, about my kids. Sebastián started his 3rd year in high school last week, and he seems to be very motivated. His mood has changed a lot, but from time to time he forgets all the teenager behavior and hugs me tight. Nice!! He has always been very sweet.
And Manu? I’m still waiting an answer from a school to see if he can enter. I hope he can because being at home all the time is not the best for him at his age.
Today he woke me up with a kiss on my nose and whispered, “Mum, you look like and angel when you sleep” Awwwwwww!! Isn’t he adorable? Of course he continued by saying, “can I have my breakfast now?” I had to get up very quicky, good moments don’t last forever, but I had a big smile on my face the whole morning.

Ah! And Dami is coming today from Durazno. It’s been three weeks since the last time I saw him. I hope we both have a good time.

I love you all

MaGiC NiGhT iN Plumpiemousie

Last night Manuel was invited to a land of colors and joy. Some good friends were there on the shore waiting to pick him up.
It was a long journey, so Manu took and apple and sailed away.
It was a starry night in Plumpiemousie and I guess he and his friends had a very good time together playing for hours under the moon.
I didn’t notice he had left because in the morning he was back home sleeping in his bed.
Now he’s standing by my side with a broad smile….he must be thinking about the wonderful time he spent with these particular friends. I know he wishes to go someday again.

Here you can see a picture of last night. Enjoy it because it’s a piece of art.

Love you all
Thank you Mousie

PaCkInG… fOr BeTtEr Or WoRsT

It’s been a rainy weekend so I decided to do something I have procrastinated for some days. Not an easy task I confess, but necessary if I am to start walking to my new beginning.
I don’t have many touchable things to pack from him, but I have my pc full of images, msn logs, writings or emails from or for him that appear in front of my eyes whenever I’m searching for something else. Too aching.
So, what’s first? The pictures. I’ll store them in a cd and erase them from here….then? I guess I can put the rest of the things in the same cd…..it’s important to keep things together, isn’t it?
Now, the touchable objects….. 7 things I won’t ever wear….in a box.
His only love letter? Let me see….not in my purse…where then? Ok, I’ll get an envelope and I’ll put it in the same little box with the other 7 elements.
The chain with the cross….. No, I can’t get rid of it, that would cause more pain than relief….I’ll keep it till the day I….well, I’ll keep it and that’s it.
Next….Oh yes, let me erase his phone number from my cell phone and his email address from my messenger…..done.
I wish I could pack my memories as well….my feelings…my dead dreams….my love, but they are already stored in my heart and there’s no way to let them go, though I wish I could…. I wish I could…. I wish I could.
