Adios, Novio

Today is quite a sad day for me! I took Novio to the airport this morning for his trip to Colombia. For a MONTH! Ugggh. But, my dad pointed out that for some couples, like military couples, a month apart would be a blessing opposed to the 14,15+ months of seperation....I am glad he put it into that prospective for me...

On a lighter note, I embark on my own travels FRIDAY. Home, sweet home! I am actually counting down the days, and I haven't felt like that about a trip home in a while. Friends and family are just what I need I think.

Feliz Diciembre!

Wowowowow.....antes I forget- HAPPY DECEMBER! I am officially now on the hunt for an advent calendar. I love these boxes of cardboard stuffed with chocolately goodness--they remind me of my grandmother (RIP Bea!)... though the one I picked up last year had some funky tasting chocolate. Maybe this year I'll splurge and look outside of the dollar store.

Soooo TIS THE SEASON! I'm going home to mi mamita in a few weeks... around the 20th or so... para una semana! Wheee! I'm looking forward to wearing boots, tights, bar tabs under $10 and breakfast in bed courtesy of my mama. Pero, yo soy mucha triste... Novio is thinking of going to Colombia for a MONTH--meaning he will miss our anniversary, Christmas, and New Years. Soooo not ok. Yo creo he will reconsider.

Anyhoo....time for beddy. Yo tengo una grande semana ahead y I'd like to work out in la manana.

Mi Inspiracion

I am MUCHO obsessed with Senora Lauren Santo Domingo (maiden name: Davis). Basically, she leads the excessively glamorous mirror image of my own life. She also writes for a blog, though hers is part of her job at Vogue. She is also dating a Colombian named Andres, though hers is of the Santo Domingo kind which basically own the country. Alas, rather than hate her, I aspire to be like her.

post turkey day wrap up

This holiday season was spent in Athens, GA with my dad, brother (CT), and novio y my stepmom's family. After dinner... dad CT and I went to paint the town in holiday cheer, resulting in my sorry @$$ staying in bed all day Friday aside from my bouts to the bathroom to yak up turkey, gravy, and vodka.

Also, novio is getting ready for FINALS. Its so crazy that semester uno of law school is practically dunzo. I heard horror stories though that 2nd semester is a total bitch. I desperately hope this is not the case.

ALSO, I found out that my Chrsitmas present is a vacation, I'm a bridesmaid in my old college roomate's wedding, and that exercise and eating right really do wonders for a gal's figure. Primero, the trip: a week, mid-2010 BACKPACKING THROUGH PERU TO MACHU PICCHU! Second, the wedding: Kari & Zack, March 2010. And the gym? I'm slowly dwindling away those post collegiate cling-ons. Soooooooo, all in all, todo bien! Except that I am feeling slightly under the weather.

Tiempo a practico my espanol y leo "The Time Traveler's Wife." Que lindo!

Ciao
