weddings hams birthdays and fitting in the world.

i think i might start re-updating this blog, starting from today.
i had planned to backtrack and update everything up to now, but i know if i attempt to do that, i will end up not doing it at all.

so here goes from now!

we just got back from london and spain, bizarrest and funnest experience ever. i get to london and think wow i am completely dowdy and unfashionable and such a poor, freeloading idiot, my god i don't fit in here anymore, freak out. then i get into the swing of things, go nuts over food markets - more than 10 types of tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, cheeses; go to bookshops - 3 ffreaking levels; party; have a social life; watch tv; go to amazing markets; stay up late; have friends (i'd forgotten what that feels like), and then get back here and now its very "wwwwwhhaaaaaaaa???????????". so my poor little heart is going through some turmoil right now! i'm not sure which world i fit into.

coming back to the kids was amazing though, i'd taken some pics and videos of the plane rides - going through clouds, the tv's on the back of the seats - you could see their minds ticking over as they watched them. got to give them some great gifts that people gave me from london. the percy pig tail sweeties were a hit - each one took about 30 mins to eat one, stopping every 3 minutes to say "mmmmmm tan acido y TAN rico" (mmmmmm so sour and SO delicious). i have yet to unleash the other goodies i bought home from them. the 1 penny and 2 penny coins were also a hit despite the fact they are worth about 13 guatemalan cents.

right, i'm going to keep these posts short and sweet, hopefully that will inspire me to do it more often....
