Just another manic monday


This weekend was awesome it was spent what I love doing most relaxing with my family.

The week has started off really well, besides the fact that I had a list of to do´s about 20 things left to complete and you can only guess how many I completed... yeap a hopping 3 items!!! Lets just say I have my work cut out for me this week.

I have come to a realization today I LOVE OVERALLS... I mean it, you the kind welders wear... today at work all of the people that work in the maintanace area recieved there new uniform which you can guess was a pair of overalls... with a little convincing (basically just showed my pearly white teeth) I recieved my very own pair... I plan on showing them off tomorrow at work I will make sure to take pictures so that you all can see my new work uniform!

For dinner I did it I had bread with some cheese and tomato.. feels like forever since I have had such a simple sandwich, and boy was it good. Brought me back to Summer time when I would sit out in my parents garden and each fresh picked tomates with salt ( aaaaaaaaaaa the memories).

I hate to cut this short but I am off to a soccer game.. I have to cheer for our companys team... lets just say if they win next game I have to wear a cheerleading outfit... I have no idea if this is good for them or for me???

WEEKEND!!!

So its Saturday morning... I was hoping to sleep in today with the hubby but he has to go to work and I have to go to contract manager training. Life is great though, I have realized something very important today.. I LOVE THE WEEKENDS, beacause it is that simple special time you get to spend it with the ones you love!

Today, is Myluskas birthday a close friend of Rafael and I... who like me loves a good bottle of wine and having time with close friends. She has invited us to dinner at her house with other friends... I am sure that we are going to dance and drink the night away. My new motto,..... eat what you like and dance it off in the evening!!!! jjajajajaj (if only it was true ;)) I still havent found the gift to give her... I want to get her something that she really needs there is nothing worse then getting a gift just because you have too, I have always thought that it should be something from the heart.

I think today is going to be an excellent day though because today I get ceviche (raw fish cooked in lemon juice) which I can never get enough of, except when they over do it on the spicy pepper to make it "pícante" I will make sure to take pictures today so that I can post and you can see this delightful creation!

Well, I hate to cut this short but I have to get ready and I need to go and wake up the hubby lets just say we got in early this morning after dancing the night away!

Start of a New Year

Well... its official I a going to start our blog again... or shall I say start what I (Elena) never finished??? I promised myself at the beginning of this year that I was going to make a blog for Rafael and I so that our loved ones could be updated on what is going on in our life... and well I forgot that in 2008 (yes... many moons ago...) I had started a blog for us.

So, here it goes ...

Start of a new year and start of new projects!

Current goals for January:

1. Plan our 2 week vacation for August ( I know I said new starts and I am already planning vacation)
2. Maybe buy another plot of land as an investment
3. Plan at least 1 BBQ at our apartment
4. Go to the beach
5. Bake a cheesecake
6. Cook at least 1 new recipe
7. Blog at least twice a week

As you can see we have set our sights high... lets see if we can complete 5/6 goals

I promise I will have more to write tomorrow since it is going to be a bit of an eventful day since we have yet another export shipment leaving our port.
