Christmastime makes me fat.
and for the most part, I blame my mom.
Yesterday morning I got up, put eggnog in my coffee, had a few Christmas cookies, ate some candy she’s got placed THROUGHOUT the house, THEN I noticed a third of a cake sitting on the kitchen counter.
“where did this cake come from?!”
“oh I dunno, it was in the freezer”
So now, she’s filling this house with sugar just...
My mom does have a point.
[I'm showing her a striped scarf I'm knitting...]
Mom: Are you using wool?
Me: One of them is, the other one is acrylic
Mom: Well what if you have to wash it? They're going to react differently.
Me: Oh well I'll just never wash it.
Mom: What? Well what if...what if someone poops on it??
Me: What?! Who's going to poop on it?!

Do I love this guy or what?
This morning after Lander leaves for work and I walk into the bathroom to see my morning face smeared with make up:
Me: (via text) OMG lander! You didn’t tell me I look like a crackhead!
Lander: Lol it was kinda dark and I see your inner beauty not your outter crackhead.
you see? This is what I’m talking about.

I'm starving!!!!!!!!!!
Who knew sewing 120+ feet of pink satin all day would work up such an appetite?
I think I need Thai Gyros :D
STRAIGHT As!!!!

I feel a little bad
that I’m watching the new Frontline about our “digital nation” and I’m surfing on my laptop at the same time.
whomp whomp.

on to my next cup of coffee...
and you know what? I want something fancy. Because I’ve had a shitty day thus far and its cold and wet outside and my clothes are soaked and I have to work later and OH MY GOD JUST GIVE ME THE FUCKING WHIP CREAM.
I just dipped my hair in my coffee.
Yep, it’s going to be that kind of morning.

I’m definitely getting sick. Bourbon tonight it is.
Hot Toddy’s are the best for a soar throat!!
I make them with:
black tea (usually English breakfast)
Bourbon (or brandy but I prefer a nice shot of Buffalo Trace)
lemon
honey
Well, that was just silly.
I set off my host family's house alarm AGAIN
First time: At night, coming home from the bar at 11 pm. Alarm sounded as soon as I opened the door, woke whole family up.
Second time: At night, coming home from celebrating the Fiestas de Quito, typed in the wrong password. Again woke whole family up.
Third time: Just now, broad daylight. Didn’t enter the password in correctly, alarm sounded. Thankfully I put it in right the second...

laydown:
I wish I wish I wish we had a fireplace. I never grew up with one, which seems odd not to have one in a 1910 house…? Anyway, I was at a friends house last night, and they had a cute little stocking hanging on their mantel for their new baby and I thought - WHERE DO I HANG A STOCKING FOR STELLA??…
whatever you do, don’t put the stocking in the stove.
About to leave for Thanksgiving...
Let me tell you, November 25th is just like any other day in Quito. Except you have all the giringitos (including myself) whining about missing their loved ones and stuffing. Well fortunately, there is a restaurant in La Mariscal that does a “traditional Thanksgiving meal” and I am about to find out what that means.
I’m just hoping there is pumpkin pie and some sort of sweet...
I am thankful for deciding to sleep in instead of...
and having my second class of the day cancelled!
w00t.
