Hayo!
What a frickin' week. For those of you on the Best Coast, you didn't get a taste of the Snowpocalypse that hit the North East this week. It ruined last weekend for me because 1)I didn't make it to DC to see Andrew or to get in all that snowy-goodness and 2)No snow came to NY so it was just cold and sad. I'm coming home.

My DC trip being cancelled was the steamy dog crap on top of a Chinatown-dumpster-like week. So...I went into work this week really bummed still. Monday was ... a typical Monday I guess. But Monday night sucked as much as anything can. I tried to do my taxes online. Suffice it to say I spent a couple hours on the phone SOBBING to mom and went to bed with a cold compress on my eyes. Mom "kicks me back up when I'm down" and tells me exactly what I need to hear to realize I need to sop crying and make changes or accept what's done. Serenity prayer like.

Tuesday was better. My eyes were puffy, I was tired, but non of that mattered when the mailman told me about the snow day declared for Wednesday. Naturally I convinced the boss that it's not safe for us to come in and scored myself a holiday. SKILLZ!

Today, "Snowpocalypse," "Blizzard 2010," "Snowmageddon," was awesome. I slept in, went strollin' around town. Met Kady for some more strollin' and rollin'. The snow was beautiful. I threw snowballs at people from up on the roof.


So to finish I want to put some things out there. It seems I've made up my mind this week to return to CA this September. I don't know if this decision will stick until then. I'm hoping I'll find a job worth staying here for but as of today...I need more breathing room, sunshine and beach. Stay tuned...

Lovely Day

Buen dia,

In Salamanca's Plaza Mayor there were tons of restaurants that kept tables set up outside year-long for the patrons. Of course these tables were lonely most of the spring semester I was there - it was too cold to eat outside. But then a random sunny day would come along and the Plaza would be booming! People everywhere filling these tables as if there weren't enough chairs to go around. Sunglasses and iced drinks and cigarettes and sun dresses and sandals. It reminded me of home.

That's what Brooklyn was like today. With snow still on the ground from last Sunday night's blizzard it reached almost 70 degrees! Suddenly every restaurant had a patio and people were wearing dresses and flip-flops and sunglasses. It was glorious. I was out of the house at 9 a.m. and on my way back from the store I passed 2 train stops so that I could soak up more of the sun. The long walk was worth it!

I spent some time out in my gated front yard with Midnight throwing the stick back and forth and I came home to a bright open house full of sunlight and fresh air.

'twas a lovely day :) and I really need to get a camera.
