I'm eating grilled cheese with tomatoes at 2a.m.
That's what the power of suggestion will get you when you stay up late watching t.v. and the characters eat grilled cheese with tomatoes. What can I say, it's not hard to convince me to eat something. And at in the late night/early morning hours I say the more unhealthy, the better.
I have had the most wonderful week. Last weekend was rough. I hit rock bottom. I was down and out. The good thing about things really sucking is that then they inevitably have to start getting better. This week was full of little and big blessings.
Yesterday I had a Thanksgiving meal with the 2 other Americans in my town. Stuffing! Turkey (filets)! Mashed potatoes! Divine apple crumble! It was like America in my mouth. We hypothesized that it tasted even better just because it was so very American and made us think of home.
Today I spent 5 hours with the family that invited me for lunch. We had 4 courses! And their darling 4-year-old son made me a menu. It felt wonderful to be included and it also gave me a confidence boost to discover I could hang out with a family for that long only speaking and listening to Spanish. Huzzah!
I am finally listening to Christmas music and lights are going up all over my pueblo for Christmas. I cannot wait til everything is lit up!
Dang this grilled cheese is delicious. I think it's even tastier because it's 2a.m.

haha! i loved reading this. i used to always eat grilled cheese with tomato when i was little. i don't know why i stopped adding the tomato now. weird.
that's so fun that you got to speak only spanish for that long. i think it's the most delightful feeling when you realize how much you actually know and don't have to feel awkward using. i used to love speaking it in mexico!
