I want a tattoo. For serious. I've always said I would get one if it would go away in 5-10 years, which you know, hasn't been invented yet, but whatever. Crazy? Maybe. Unexpected? Well, I guess so. Rational? I'm in graduate school, rationality flew out the window in August.
Also, CHRISTMAS SEASON 2009! YAY! A few material things I really enjoy about Christmas...
1) When you get in your car on Black Friday and the radio is all of sudden playing Christmas music
2) Getting Christmas tunes stuck in your head
3) Finally getting cold! (This only applies when south of the Mason-Dixon line, otherwise it's "oh, shoot, I am so under-prepared for this."
4) iTunes free holiday downloads, not always good, but some are catchy!
5) Starbucks.
6) Venezuela (for the Zambrans and anyone that would like to join us on our adventures to Chávez-a-go-go-land)
SNOW ALERT - It could snow ANY MOMENT now (although most likely next week, which is late in the year for these parts). I'm anxious, in both the excited and the nervous way.
Wishing I had a fireplace,
MJ

mmmm can you smell the snow?
is russell visiting beauty-queen-a-go-go-land? is that too personal a question to ask on your blog? do i care?
also, i really can't imagine you having a tattoo. what would it be?
haha no i won't be attending the venezolano holiday get-away. for one, i don't know spanish. they would probably make lots of jokes about me and i wouldn't know. but i'll work on my gringo smiling and nodding in hopes that someday i can tag along!
mals, you should get a tattoo. i'm a fan. what if you got something uber-patriotic like a giant bald eagle! with a snake in his mouth and his claws clutching a banner that says "these colors don't run." or the seal of the great state of TEXAS, or abe lincoln's profile! who knows! the possibilities are endless!
what if it was something related to venezuela? would you do that? that might be cool! (for real this time)
Well, I have no idea, it's just me being all rebellious type, it'd be something God related, but I don't know what. Who knows if this will actually happen. And no, my red-headed, non-Spanish-speaking gringo bf will not be joining us in beauty-queen-a-go-go-land this year. My mom told me she thought about him coming with us in August when we go for my cousin's wedding though. Is this too personal to post on my blog? No, but "no" is also the answer to the reflective question, "have I told Russell about this yet?" Hmm.
Can't quite smell the snow yet, but I can smell Christmas.
it's snowing here
What are the odds?! Enjoy!!!
oh, it's already gone. typical.
Russell, you'll get made fun of whether or not you know Spanish. Food and humiliation. It's how we show our love. Remember mentioning caterpillars to my mom? Exactly. And a bald eagle with a snake in it's mouth? I don't think America is ready for someone to acknowledge its bi/multicultural culture.
And Malsi I am SO looking forward to the beach this year. Mmmmmmm tan.
can i be a zambrano? my spanish is... alright. remember that one time in mexico when the tour guide spoke only in spanish and i had some idea what was going on? i'm still kind of proud of that. but that was 2.5 years ago. now i think i would do better if venezuela spoke french.
YES! You're practically already a Zambrano, no worries. I do remember that time, and French and Spanish are so similar you'd be fine either way. Thinking of learning Portuguese (but only if I can get a fellowship for it over the summer), and if you learn Romanian (for fun?) and I pick up Italian(for fun, too?), we'll have ALL of the Rrrrromance languages between the two of us. Whoa.
