As seen at the bootom of my street.
A burgandy van, COVERED in mud.
I'm talking covered like a blanket.

In the mud on the rear window.

"I wish my wife were this dirty"

this morning i saw the cutest old lady buying a bun from the bakery.
she had a little plastic hood wrapped around her neck, and her husband was waiting for her at the table.
i loved that her hair was in an updo. a 1950s updo, that looked more like the bun that she had in her hand than it did a hair do.

So here I sit, on a Friday afternoon, trying not to run out the back door of the building.
Soooooo challenging.
After having spent a week in detox from the fresh bread, amazing cheeses, and beer, wine, and cava that we consumed. (Some of us out now grounded from drinking cava)... I know have the inspiration to update this blog.

Spending time with my sister in Barcelona was excellent. We went to her gym that has a sea view. So fab. Can't wait for the summer to visit it again. We also went to a spinning class complete with a disco ball, and flashing lights. Sooooo fun.
Also got a taste of riding a bike again. Soo funny because I spend so much time on the spinning bicycle. It is so not the same. Seestor has perfected cruising the vendors down by the marina to buy knock off purses and shades. Funny to see them scatter when the police drive by.
We also got to go to see a concert of a project not a band... 08001. Fabulous. S kindly got me a copy of their disk.

It is just such a different lifestyle. I could quickly get used to.

I also went to shoe heaven. Oh my!!!! Rarely speechless, but there i stood bouche bee. Everything arranged by colour.

Funny how fast the time went.... and now am back at the grind, just dreaming of where my next trip will lead me.

My life summed up in point form:

1. Had a date (?) the other day with someone that I used to hang out with in high school. Funny how things do and don't change over 17 years.
2. Got asked if I was a pro volleyball player on the way out of starbucks the other day. No! Not at all mr man in a cut off tshirt in march. damn that passion tea!!!!
3. decided that i still cannot pack properly after all my travels.
4. checked in on line for my flight to lhr this evening. what a treat. now i can just walk onto the plane. how convenient.
5. have seen my future, after helping grandma clean out her spare room. thrilled to make clean sweep come to life in her home. WOW!!!!
6. babysat lisa's little angels. thought that i might have a rough time..... no such luck. they were sooooooooo cute. and when we got up this morning he was sleeping on the floor. then he chased me out of the house with bye's and kisses.


wish me luck on my travels..... it will be a long day.
