We Landed On the Moon!!!

So, I have been a very bad blogger lately, I blame my job. Actually on slow days at work I could probably squeeze out a quick post, but I just don't.
Today I woke up and left my brain in bed to sleep. The past few weekends I have cleaned even though I hate doing it. For some reason this place is just dirty all the time. Yes, Ro and I do leave huge piles of clothes laying around during the week and no they aren't dirty. Because we are only allowed to wash clothes on Saturdays and Sundays we wear our clothes more than once before they get washed. Our dishes have all been washed by Ro's mom this week because the faucet in her kitchen is broken and by the time we made our dinner and eat its 11 PM and you know, you can die if you wash dishes outside, at night, when it's wintertime, in Chile. And since I have a cold and am considered on my death bed, I am not allowed to do the dishes at all or eat ice cream. I eat the ice cream anyways. I also haven't been drying my hair with the blow dryer and have gotten some evil MIL glares, but this is my life so I choose my battles and if she wants to wash the dishes so I don't die then I let her. I will forever keep my crusty blonde hair away from the frizz inducing blow dryer though. Now back to the dirt. Literally, it is dirt. Or dust whatever you want to call it. Our house is really dusty. All the time. I can sweep the floors in the morning and in the evening you can see the fresh layer of dust on them. I am currently trying to figure out why people even put white tile anywhere here because it doesn't stay clean. I am still trying to figure out why they put shiny tile outside in some places in Providencia when they know it is going to rain every winter. Rain+shiny tile= giant slip and slide. Or cause for embarrassing unnecessary wipe outs. Not by me of course, I am too cool to fall down in public places when I am 100% sober. ANYWAYS white tile, dust, our bathroom floor. I can't keep it clean, the sink is also white, when I come home from work a layer of dust. Good thing I never invite people over to my house and MIL has to worry about her house being clean when I invite people over. I have a feeling that the dust is for the wonder cloud of smog that sits over Santiago, but it still bothers me. I don't have any rags to clean with so I have been using old odd socks, they actually trap the dust wonderfully, but they don't keep it away. It that possible??

On another note, Ro and I finally got to go grocery shopping so we will no longer be eating buttered noodles and green beans every single day! We spent more at the grocery store than we have ever spent at one time. I only felt guilty and regretted it for 20 minutes. After I had everything put away and saw that we won't be eating buttered noodles and green beans for a long time, unless we want to, I felt a lot better. I just wish we could have our own garden and I could buy meat from my uncles like my parents do in Minnesota because the meat that we buy looks questionable 90% of the time. It hasn't killed us yet though so I won't complain.

I guess I don't really have much else going on in my life right now. Work.... well my first month is almost over!! Payday is this coming Wednesday!! Woohoo!! I stupidly washed every single pair of my pajama pants so now I have to wear shorts and long socks to bed. Not that I am worried about my fashion, I have gone to bed wearing a thin pair of pj pants under a thick pair, beautiful purple socks, a long sleeved tee and a champion sweatshirt on top. I can't wear the sweatshirt out anymore because a certain someone always spills food on himself and the mustard stain isn't in a very hide able spot. I have been thinking about wearing my gloves to bed. I'm talking bright red gloves, the kind I would wear ice fishing. At least we have a heater in our room now. Ro works overnights on the weekends so I have to try to keep myself warm all by myself... should be pretty fun tonight without pj pants. I am only allowed to have the heater on for 20 minutes, but at least its something. Enough so I am warm enough to fall asleep.

I'm not even sure what else to write about. My life seems to be a bit boring at the moment. We are getting a new cupboard thing. We designed it. So we will finally have something other than banana boxes to store our food and dishes in. Except we don't have dishes. I guess I should say glasses and a few random Ziploc containers and a few containers from the margarine we reuse. Hopefully after June 8th, we will have some dishes. If hubs didn't get the hints about what to get me for my birthday then I guess we will just have to eat out of the margarine bowls until I can buy a set of dishes.
Okay, before I start rambling. Nighty nighty, hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend!!
Here's an adorable sideways video of my niece because it fits in perfectly with this post... not really.
