Sponges!!

After a crappy day, it was wonderful to find you've received a package from America. With sponges inside! I had a hard time finding decent sponges here. They were poor quality. It is odd the sorts of things you crave when you can't have them. My beloved mother-in-law include a couple of sponges in the last Fedex she sent. We also got pictures of our new nephew, Wesley. Believe me, he's adorable. Better looking than sponges from America.

Other things I want besides sponges is Mexican food. I like Mexican food but it has never been my favorite cuisine. Now that I'm here, I so want a burrito and guacamole. Some women here have margarita nights so I might join them and see if there is decent food to go with those margaritas.

Another new thing I love (besides my sponges -- I might never unwrap them) is green tea. I bought a small baggie at Carrefour and I'm really enjoying it. Most of the green tea I've had has been pretty bitter and grassy. This stuff is much more subtle. It may be that I just like watching the leaves unfold in my cup.














Before and After. I didn't realize how much the leaves expand and dumped a lot of tea in my cup the first time.

Last night Mugsy and I stayed up late watching movies. Okay, just me since Mugsy was sound asleep under the covers. Today it is raining. In the dream I had last night, I was going to make chili for a friend. That sounds like an excellent idea for a rainy day. I'm going to scrounge around and see if I can't find all the ingredients.

Usually, I can't read my blog on its front page nor can I read any other blogs hosted on the same site. Sometimes though, I'll try to open it anyway. And sometimes, it actually comes through. It's such a pleasant surprise. When the window cracks open, I oftentimes rush to read my favorite blogs before it slams back shut.
