In lieu of starting sewing this weekend and next week, I'm working through Collete's Wardrobe Architect series. My in-laws are coming and will be staying in the guest room, so it doesn't make much sense to unpack all of the sewing things before they come. Afterwards, I plan on exploding, though ( Read more... )

Hello all ( Read more... )

I found Orion in the sky tonight - maybe home isn't as far away as it sometimes seems...

So....I went to Mass today. (yeah yeah yeah, I know...) And it turned out to be a wedding. (Go figure, but I digress ( Read more... )

So my opinion of Mexico depends GREATLY on the day and time. Yesterday I was annoyed that the ice cream section at Super Salads closed at 9, and the library closed at 11.  (really?!? library closes at 11?) Monday was similarly rough - I cried through Hazardous Waste. (Strictly speaking, a test grade and a presentation grade did spark that set of ( Read more... )

So far today, I have only put into my body pizza, reese's peanut butter cups and diet pepsi.  I cut my first pair of jeans and am settling down to write my part of the presentation. Today was not the best day ever.

P.S. Why don't gloomy mood themes have clouds over their head??

I think I might finally be adjusting to life here - as I was walking around campus yesterday, I stumbled across a monarch butterfly among the flowers.  And I felt at peace with this country - it is a magical country, you just have to relax and experience it.

I'm so tired from staying up last night (talking to the Tall One and studying for Residuos Peligrosos exam), but I'm still planning on going out tonight. (Part of me wants to stay in, but I know by the end of the weekend, I'm going to be lonely and miss people, so it's best to take social events as they come.) So I'm going over to see Megan's new ( Read more... )

The museum was fun, although smaller than I had expected.  There were two exhibits - Rodolfo Nieto on the first floor and Víctor Rodríguez on the second floor.  We weren't allowed to take photos inside the museum, so I only have photos of the outside, but that will have to do.  I did manage to write down my favorite paintings by the artists.  I ( Read more... )

So.....I've been thinking. (No change there.)  I kinda want to start the whole journaling thing again, especially as I am in Mexico and probably should really be keeping track of my thoughts SOMEHOW.  No promises or anything, but LJ could be a start. (It's better than a microsoft word document and easier to carry around than a full-blown book ( Read more... )
