So this morning I woke up early, which I didn't really want to do, but the cats were driving me nuts. So I got up, did a couple of things on the computer and then went to the TV to begin channel surfing. Now, what happened next, only one person on my friends list will have a TRUE appreciation for what I saw, but there she was, as big as my TV screen could make her: Raquel. She was back and she was on channel 6. I had found my true love of high school Spanish right in my own living room. Destinos was on TV. I was so excited about it, I sat through the next 45 minutes (an episode and a half) of it, just because I could! I was so excited! Sarah M., I KNOW you would be excited about that too. All I could do when I was watching it was think about my high school Spanish teacher and how badly we all used to rag on him about all kinds of stuff (namely his studder - "Okay, translate this: Yo.... yo.....yo..... yo yo yo...." and Aaron going "Okay, I... I.... I.... I I I...." - and the fact that he thougt he was the next Fransisco Franco).
What make it even WEIRDER though is that I had a dream about him JUST LAST NIGHT! Of course, in my dream he had shaved his beard and was dressed in drag doing seminars all over the country about the importance of being bilingual when working with children. I told him (because I didn't really recognize him) that he reminded me of my high school Spanish teacher, and he said "Did you go to ConVal?" and I was like "Yeah" and he was like "well, that's because I WAS your high school Spanish teacher!" He went on to tell me that he never moved to Florida because he got to involved with doing these trainings. Okay, tell me that wasn't a nightmare. It was crazy... so first my dream of señor Morey up there talking away in Spanish and then finding Destinos on tv.
Anyway... On the house front: We made an offer on that house in New Durham that we really liked. Unfortunately, the builder refused to come down in price at all, and even though we could afford the mortgage payments on that house, it wouldn't have been comfortable. So we're going to look at some houses in Rochester tomorrow. We would have gone today, but I am having my scrapbooking party at 11:30 so that wouldn't really work out. But as of right now we're meeting to see three of them, and one of them is the one we're most excited about seeing. So we'll see what happens! Keep your fingers crossed for us!
Anyway, I guess that's about it from here... My job is still going well - I'm working on some pretty hard cases right now, which is kind of frustrating, but I was able to get rid of the one that was weighing on me the most, which is huge. But there isn't much other news. Hopefully I'll be able to do a better update this week!
