So, I was going to delete my post from yesterday because I am so angry about how things are going, but I decided to just write a new post. Yes, 2 posts in 2 days, when was the last time I did that??
Yesterday I wrote about the bbq we were having and how excited I was to spend some time with friends. Well, apparently I have NO friends. Everyone that said they were going to come, didn't. Two of Ro's friends came. None of my "friends" came. To make it even worse, six of the people I invited didn't come because they all went to a fonda and were too drunk to come. They didn't even invite me. So, what did I do last night?? Sat around drinking beer by myself while Ro and his friends talked about the same thing they always talk about every single time they come over, some great amazing trip they are going to take. They have been talking about this for years. YEARS and it never ever ever ever happens. So, you can see how I would be bored with this subject. The only part of the conversation I took part in was telling them the different sites I have used to buy cheap plane tickets. Woohoo. I did play a few songs on Beatles Rock Band by myself. Fun fun. Yes, I am complaining about my pathetic life. I am truly sick of this no friend life... no not even that.. this no friend that I can count on for everything. I just want to go back to MN and know that I will have at least two people that won't let me down. It may seem like a stupid reason to be complaining, but I really do feel like shit. This is not the first time this has happened. I'm so sick of fucking Chileans saying yes to something and then not fucking following through. I am soooo at the end of my rope. If I leave this country it won't be because of my husband it will be because I cannot stand the loneliness anymore. I can't stand not having friends that I can rely on. I can't stand it.
Continuing on. Today we were supposed to go to Ro's grandma's, but they would rather we went over there tomorrow. Not a big deal. So if I wouldn't have spent all my extra spending money on the stuff for my flop of a bbq last night, I could have bought stuff to do some baking to entertain myself today. But instead I am writing a completely negative blog post about my pathetic life. Tonight maybe Ro will want to watch a movie with me or something. We will be turning on the grill again because obviously I have tons of meat that didn't get eaten yesterday.
Hopefully tomorrow will be fun and everything will go as planned. I guess we won't be going to the beach, but maybe we will go on Monday instead. Well, the sun is out so I better go wash clothes.

Chicha, empanadas, asados, and springtime!!!!
Spring is definitely in the air!!! September brings Santiago back to life, everything turns green, trees are full of blossoms, and it is a lot warmer. My husband has a love hate relationship with this season because of his allergies, and it is almost funny to me when we walk by a "sneeze tree." This is the kind of tree that fluffy pieces of white shit fall from it. Almost immediately after walking by it Ro sneezes. September is also the month where Chile celebrates its birthday. And from the 1st of September the smells of asados float around the city every weekend. You will also see kites in the air everywhere!
My long weekend started earlier than most people's here in Santiago. Yesterday, we only had a half day at work and then a small work party with wine, empanadas, and some Chilean folk music. I have today off because where I work they are pretty much broke and couldn't afford to give out a bonus to the workers so we got the day off instead. Not a problem for me because the bonus was probably going to be around 15 US dollars. I would rather not work. Anyways, here I sit on the computer waiting for the evening when the fun begins! We are having an asado here at our place and Ro's family is leaving for the beach in a few hours before that happens. So, we will have the house to ourselves for the weekend. Tomorrow Ro will work during the day and in the evening we are going to Ro's grandma's and probably to a fonda. Zoe of course will be standing around people's ankles all weekend begging for pieces of meat and chicken. She is prepared for the fiestas, Ro bought her a huaso dress this morning. On Sunday we may of may not go to the beach. Depending how we feel after 2 nights in a row of drinking ourselves retarded. If we do go, we will probably be going to another fonda there and then come back to the city on Monday. Hopefully it will be a very fun weekend. Coming back to real life on Tuesday will be a bitch, but for now I'm going to go and enjoy every bit of the long weekend!!!
