Milk jugs for sale

It rained again this morning. I officially hate when it rains because there is nothing to do! Life here in Seville is outside in the streets and sunshine, no one is ever in the house...only when it rains. So, of course I was bored. Plus, I never want to go out when it rains because the rain always blows under my umbrella and the bottoms of my pants get wet. That might be the most uncomfortable feeling in the world. It´s one of my biggest pet peeves.

Speaking of rain...I found out my grandma has cancer the other day. Her name is Wilma so pray for her if you remember. My moms maiden name is Smith, so that would make my grandma Mrs. Smith, my aunts name was Gloria Jean and my name is Sara L.......indsay. But what if it would have been Lee? Wouldn´t that have been hilarious. But get this, my dad and brothers middle name is Lee. Bizarre.

Wow. I just looked over at the TV and there was a lady hanging onto the bedpost, and let´s just say the man was down under. TV, news, advertisements, etc. are SOOOOOO different here than in the States, here they show everything. Sometimes there are boobs, butts, V´s Ps, you name it, it´s all on TV. And this isn´t porno TV or anything I´m watching, oh no, just regular old TV. Every day on the news I pretty much see dead bodies, or someone killing someone, or a guy flying off his motorcycle and dying. I´m eating when I´m watching the news, I don´t want to see that! Today I was reading the paper and as I turned the page BAM there this lady was with her two kids getting milk from her jugs. Her daughter was like 5 (GROSS) and her son was 2. Apparently there was a ¨gathering¨ in Madrid and all of the moms were breastfeeding to show their pride. I think when your kid gets teeth that´s a good sign to stop.

Thank God I don´t have a car here. Driving is insane. These are the reasons why I´m glad I don´t have a car 1) I have 100 percent road rage when I drive. All the rage I´ve ever felt in my life seeps through my pores when I get behind the wheel. 2)Gas prices 3)Insurance prices 4)I would probably get cussed out everyday. 5)Parking

Ok, I think those are enough reasons. Remind me of these when I start whining about not being able to drive. So, we were trying to get to the center of town today and find a parking spot. Usually by the time we find a parking spot I´m so bored I just want to go back home. ha. So, today this guy was in front of us but pulled off to the side and put his blinker I guess emergency lights on. So, we started to pass him, but every time we would start to pass him he would start driving again! What the heck? So, OK dangerous...because there were cars coming from the other direction. Finally we pulled up beside him and of course he was on his cell phone. So, he finally rolled down the window and he and Antonio had a few words. It was awesome. He had no CHANCE of even being right. He was trying to tell us that he was pulling over to let us pass. Ok sweetie, every time we tried to pass he would start driving, PLUS he was on his cell. Us 100 points him 0. I liked seeing Antonio ¨aggressive¨ like that...he handled it like a pro, no bad words, he just told him like it was...get off your cell phone. So they chatted (ha) for awhile and then we drove off. It was pretty much awesome. That´s like the third fight Antonio has gotten into with drivers, and it´s awesome every time. Just because people are idiots...and of course we´re always right. HA!

So, tonight it stopped raining and we were able to walk around. I love just walking around because the weather is perfect right now and the moon is full. What´s with everyone being so fashionable? ? Can´t I just wear jeans and tennies and feel normal? Absolutely not. Just put an American flag around my head and a sign that says I love America and call it a day. It´s funny to pick out the Americans, super easy to do...tennis and jeans. So, I try to ¨fit in¨ by being semi stylish, but I´m sure they can still tell.

Plus, lots of people make out in the streets here. Today is the second day in a row I´ve seen 2 guys MAKING OUT. I mean, that´s fine but I´m just not used to that. I´m not gonna lie, prob never will get used to that.

That´s all for today my friends.
Hoping not to see any breasts on TV or in the paper for awhile,
Sara
