An OK My Kind of Weekend

Not too much happened this weekend, but it was fun. On Friday night we went to a club, where I didn't dance like I never do. We didn't stay there for very long, after that we, as in Rodrigo, me, Romy, Pancho, Pato, Vivi, and Maca, went to Pancho's house where all the couples were fighting except Rodrigo and I. We decided to drink rum and just listen in and give our drunkenish imput into the comversations. We ended up going home at about 6am. Slept til 4:30pm and got up and just kind of spent the rest of the day being lazy. I made some mac and cheese with hotdogs for lunch, thats pretty much our usual these days. And since we can buy the blue box at Jumbo now, I'm sure we will be eating plenty of it!! We watched the movie Jumper, and went to bed. Very very exciting huh?? Sunday morning we got up pretty early, like 8:30am and layed around for awhile, took showers, and got ready to leave. We went to a "feria" which is a market in the street, where there are lots of little booths selling lots of different things. This happens to be my favorite Sunday outing. The smells at the feria are what makes me want to keep going. The mixure of the smell of fresh fruits and vegetables, spices, popcorn and cotton candy, even the smell of fresh fish and chicken and beef is amazing!! I bought some apples since the weather is very apple pie-ish. At least baking the pies will warm the house and our bellies up a little bit!! I also bought some fresh strawberries!! Mmmmm!! For anyone interested in the price difference, if there is any, I never bought strawberries in the US so I don't really know. But they costed about $2 for a kilo which is about 2 pounds. After the "feria" we went to Mami's house (Rodrigo's grandma/mom's mom) and ate with the family. The family includes everyone. Aunt, Uncle, 3 cousins (minus one that is now in the South for the Navy) other aunt, mom dad and sister, and of course Mami. Thats there family, I can't wait for Rodrigo to see mine!! Both sides are big enough to scare him!! Hahahaha!! After dinner we, well they watched a show on TV, in Spanish so I don't really pay attention I was working on a Rubik's cube. I'm gettin pretty good! Then we went back home. Rodrigo and I just hung out and then!!! It started raining! I love it! The roof over our room has plastic on it so the sound is very loud. But, at the same time it sucks cuz when it rains its very cold. So we had coffee last night with mom, dad, and sis. We sat there talking with everyone which was nice because we don't do that very often. Rodrigo and I watched a movie last night, I don't remember if we even finished it. We went to bed somewhat early and it was nice to fall asleep to the sound of the rain!! And even better to see the first snow of the year on the Andes mountains! The nice powdered sugar makes them look much more majestic! That was our weekend. Lots of love!
