umm Today I had my Spanish tutor class. It was good except I didn't do my homework. Normally, being the procrastinator that I am, I write my paper right before class. This is actually good, because it gets me in the Spanish mood, so the words are flowing, and there is some topic already at hand... But today, I didn't do that for some reason. Oops. Anyway, it was still a good class. Claudia is the best and I would recommend her to anyone. She is even better than the teachers I had in Mexico.
Aside from that, I did some more of my mad organizing. This time I focused on my office. Anand got me a new iMac (what a good husband!) after the PC of sh*t died, and things are SOOO much cleaner in there now. The screen is HUGE and there is no massive box under my desk, so there is actually room for my feet! I actually WANT to hang out in my office now. So I did some cleaning and organizing, and it's coming together. Also, since this weekend some HT folks will be in town, a couple people are staying in there, so I had to clean it anyway. I just feel better in a clean environment, knowing I could get up in the middle of the night and not stub my toes or trip on anything. I've also networked my laptop, the iMac and the external harddrive so now I can work from either location. Things are good.
Yesterday I made Sopa Azteca and I was so proud of myself, it tastes like Mexico, yay! Sopa Azteca is a tomato based broth (garlic, onions, chilies too) and then you add stale tortillas, cheese, crema, lime, and avocado. It's sooo delicious, and is one soup that is really satisfying on its own, at least for me... Anand likes "solid food". But it was yummy and I froze 5 extra portions so on a night when we aren't cooking, we can just thaw and eat.
Hmmm, what else, my salsa is coming along. It's great exercise, and I love the music. The people are really nice and everyone is curious about my "finger painting" (that's what one guy called it!!). There is a really nice girl in the class named Dakota, and she wants me to henna her. She is super exotic looking, so I'm going to ask her if I can take some pictures and just call it a trade. Anyway, I decided to invest in a pair of dancing shoes, although I normally wear sneakers in class, I have a pair of dance shoes for going out. They look like normal cute shoes, but they are suede inside, so my feet don't slip around inside the shoes when I get sweaty (which happened to me last week and was a disaster - wardrobe malfunction!) and also a suede sole which allows for slick turns. Only problem is that they are indoor only shoes, so I'll have to wear something else to walk to Roccapulco, but that's not that big of a deal. I practiced wearing the shoes around the house (it does take some getting used to the slippery soles) so I think I'm ready to test them on the dance floor tomorrow night. Lynn and I are becoming regulars at that place, haha. I'm still trying to convince Anand to come... I guess he likes his tennis, well, whatever, we are both just trying to keep ourselves happy.
okay, folks, that's all for tonight!
