Well, I haven't been writing about me at all lately, so here's an update on me, when I say me, I mean my family of course! And I'll fill you in on our Independence WEEK!!
Let's start with the hubby! Rodrigo has been working a lot lately. He is being trained for his new job in the casino Monticello. He officially starts working in October when the place opens, I guess he gets to serve the first table or something. His boss must really like him! He is going to be a garzon? or something in the prive section. That's not the VIP, I guess it is something higher, where the billionaires go! So he is learning how to be a good waiter, how to make drinks, what wine goes with what food, and whatnot. He has even told me that he likes seafood now, well I told him a million times if he would just try it he would like it! That makes me happy, Red Lobster here we come!
Zoe is so much bigger now than when we first got her. She is full size now and has lost and replaced all but one of her puppy teeth. It was so hot the other day that we gave her an outside shower and let her dry in the sun. She hated it very much. She looked hilarious and next time I am going to take a picture! Her hair is so long that when it is wet, she can't shake it off because is weighs her down, I gave he a little head start with a towel until she could shake herself. She is suck a sweet little thing! She was horribly spoiled by all the family over the weekend with all the asados going on, who would want to eat dry dog food?? Not Zoe! She prefers a nice chunk of meat and some choripan! I am excited because she turns 6 months on the 5 of October and we can finally take her to get her hair cut!!! She is almost ready for us to take to the US!! She just needs a certificate of health! Then she's ready to fly, which makes me nervous.
And of course me, the wifey. I am doing pretty good I suppose. I am tired most of the time and worry the rest of the time. I have 30 days left of work!!! Which gives me something to look forward to. The heat already drives me insane, our bedroom is hot hot hot!! I keep wondering if thermal curtains keep the heat in in the winter will they keep it out in the summer? Our bedroom unlike the rest of the house isn't all brick walls and the window actually are capable of letting sun in, no bars. Married life has been good so far. Nothing has really changed except we are allowed to nap in the same bed at the beach with the door closed. Not that we were doing anything but sleeping!! I can't wait though to be on our own. To have our own place and to pay for our own stuff. I'm not saying that I don't like how we are now, but I think being on our own will be different and a fun thing to experience. Budgeting too will be fun :o) To do, not to follow...but Ro and I will be able to do it. I am very sad at the moment because Christmas in the US which I was sooooo looking forward to as was my family is falling more and more to the not gonna happen side. I can't completely give up on it yet because I want it so much!! I have been getting homesick again, I think not knowing when I will go back makes it harder. I have been worrying about money the most these last few days. Ro tells me not to worry, but how can I not?? After October I won't be working unless I find another job. We won't be able to save much because everything Rodrigo makes goes straight to the plane ticket. The only extra cash we will have will be from his advertising agency. Better stick it in here maybe someone will find it here. www.agenciaup.cl. He hasn't been working there much because he has school and his other job, but hopefully he will learn how to handle all of that together. I don't know what I will do with my time when I am finished working here. I'l have to pick up a hobby! My quilt is in serious need of repairs, Zoe likes to "dig" a hole for herself to sleep it, which is cute and funny, but i have noticed new rips in it. I think I should also make my future neice or nephew a blanket. Of course it will be unsquare, but what's a baby gonna notice?? I have to of course find colors that I like and yarn. I haven't made anything other than blankets crocheting so I'm just gonna stick with that. None of that crazy fast crap that ladies do on the subway with all the loops and what nots. I'll stick with a boring straight, or not so straight blanket and I won't count because I prefer to guess hahahha. I would read, but books to me are like one huge glass of water on a hot day. I know I should save some and pace myself but once I start I can't stop. I received 2 books from the US last monday. Maybe 700 pages each.....yeah I have 4 or so pages left of the second one. I couldn't stop myself they are just sooo good. And now that I have an entire series here I will be regretting ever getting the books when I finally am able to pack my bags for home. I am planning to read all 4 of them again though before I go :o) I haven't found a place to buy books at a reasonable price. I did fall upon a little shop in Providencia one day, but they didn't really have anything I was interested in except a Cosmo Magazine, even though it was from Australia! And the books were kind of expensive for used books. They have a deal that you bring in a book and then you get half of a book that you buy. SO NOT a good deal, why would I bring in a book that I love to get half of some ripped up crappy Danielle Steel---however you spell that book?? NO!
Anyways onto a summary of our Independence Break!! WEEK LONG!
Monday Ro came to the job fair with me and worked there for the day. We went out for pizza after that, it was delicious! Tuesday, we went to do paperwork whatnot at the extranjeria and embassy. His family left that day for the beach, so we had the house to ourselves! Tuesday night we just hung out had dinner together. Wednesday we slept in, but not horribly late, I was surprised! We went grocery shopping, I was going to buy a puzzle, but we didn't have enough money. Our friends came over that night and we played spoons all night, it was a lot of fun. I am really glad that I found a game that they like!! Thursday we woke up and went to the beach. It was a pain in the ass driving there, a lot of traffic! We had a bbq there and ate lots of meat! I also tried my first glass of chicha it makes me think of grape juice with a beer taste to it. It wasn't bad. It must not be very strong though because they kept asking if I was sure I didn't want rum, whiskey or vine with it. Zoe ran around and played all day. She also received a lot of handouts! She loves choripan! Ro and I took a short nap(by short I mean 3 hours!) After that we were going to go to a fonda, but I guess the family decided they were going to a fonda on Saturday night instead so we went home. The drive home was quick! Ro and I talked the whole time, I loved it! That night Pancho, Vivi, and Maca came over for a little bit. Friday we went to the mountains!! It was so nice! We had a nice group of friends, Diego and Jessica came along with their friends. The boys played soccer and made an asado. We all brought choripan so that's what we had all day! Zoe had fun running around enjoying the fresh air! She slept sooo good all week it was great! The drive home from there was horrible!! It took us maybe an hour to get there, but it took over three hours to get home!! We went to sleep right away, I was so tired! Saturday Ro and I cleaned. He washed the car, we gave Zoe and illegal bath. (Our vet said we can't give her a bath til she gets her last vaccine and is 6 months old.) She hated it. She was nice and soft though after that. We hung around the house all day. We fell asleep though. Ro took a shower at like midnight then we went to a party around 1am. We didn't end up leaving that until 8 in the morning when we drove around trying to find a place selling hot dogs that was open!! Thank goodness we found someplace! They had nasty ketchup, but I was hungry enough to not mind at all. We tried to sleep all day Sunday, but it was too hot. We woke up at like noon. And sat around. His family came home at like 2 or 3. Then we watched Star Wars Episodes 5 and 6. I had never seen them in the past. They were pretty good. I still don't understand why they made 4, 5, and 6 before 1, 2, and 3. Oh well. Now its back to work. I'm sure I will be horrible tired for the next week! Love lots!!
