three letters, something i should be building about now...
so i recently had a birthday... which was fun. 84 is a big year. at least that's what i told my kids. :P (not sure why i love lying to children, but it's fun) so we had a little barbecue in honor of my birthday at my friends amanda and julia's house. there were hamburgers. and french fries. and brownies (if you know me, you know i'm not that into cake). here are a couple of pictures.
hmmmm.... what is maría jose pointing at?
ahhh.... it's the gaping hole in my birthday brownies. but it was my birthday, i'm allowed, right?
since then the weather has been rather miserable. like more miserable than normal rainy season. (in my whole 1 rainy season experience here in costa rica) i mean, the normal rainy season thing is sunny mornings and about 3pm it starts to rain. sometime in the evening the rain stops. the next day, repeat. but recently it's been raining almost non-stop. go to sleep and it's pouring, wake up and it's pouring, today there wasn't even the tiniest break in the rain. which is why there is now a lake in my backyard.
and probably not a surprise, but i'm kind of sick right now. running shnoz, coughing, sore throat. but best news ever (at least best news this week) - school is canceled tomorrow! apparently there is some sort of red advisory (not 100% sure what that means) due to the rain. there's flooding, and people are getting in accidents. so now i get to lie in bed for a while and try to recover. i basically spent most of my afternoon like this:
curled up around a little black and brown wiener dog.
