euchre

The Holiday time is an intense euchre time for the family and I. Of course I always dominate. Here's me pretending to be nice..and then it's game face time. There's also my aunt laying her head low in defeat because I dominate!!!!!!!!! Side note:I love Dr. Pepper.

Happy Birthday Jesus!

I love you!!!! Merry Christmas!!!

Mine is Crazy Tum-Tums.

For the Holidays you can't beat home sweet home.

Oh Indiana. You are FREEZING at the moment.

So, the journey was LONG. I caught a train from Sevilla to Madrid at 10pm. and arrived at the train station at midnight. Then, I had to take a half an hour taxi ride to the Madrid airport. I waited until 550 am (on the cold floor) to go to Amsterdam. Then Amsterdam to Chicago. Crying babies, puking people, windy flight. EEK. Then, I took a taxi to downtown Chicago and finally a train to South Bend. AHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm off to bed cuz my eyes are SOO bloodshot!

USA BOUND

Seville, Madrid, Amsterdam, Chicago, IN. Lord help me!!!!!!!!! I arrive Sunday at noon. Prayers are appreciated.xo

Auntie Sara!!!!!!!

YIPEE. My sister in law had her baby today.

Charles Robert Fisel was born at 11:48 today and weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs.

Charles is my grandfathers name and Robert is Julies dads name. I already want to squeeze his face off!

Congrats to Matt and Julie!!

so..

I had to sub a class tonight and it was super fun. It´s a class I´ve actually substituted before...policemen. So, we were talking about something and this guy kept saying ¨impregnate¨ and I´m all ¨what did you say?¨ and he´s all ¨impregnate the couch with cocaine.¨ HUH?? Apparently it also means this....

1 a: to cause to be filled, imbued, permeated, or saturated b: to permeate thoroughly

Who knew? Impregnate wood. That just sounds naughty. I told them to probably not say that in the USA unless they want to get punched in the face.

Speaking of words. Did you know that WOOT has just been entered in the dictionary as a real word? My friend Jenny uses it all the time. It´s definition is this:
an expression of excitement or joy, used mostly by computer aficionados. Also spelled w00t. (That is - using zeroes rather than oh's.) Typically the "w" is written in lower case. Though the term was originally limited to use on the Internet, it is now used in speech.

Only in America folks. My friend was letting me listen to her Ipod the other day to an M&M song I´ve never heard. It goes something like this¨I see her "ss and it makes my P.P. go DING DA DING DING DING. Again, only in America folks.

I´m going to be an AUNT tomorrow! My bro and sis in law head into the hospital for the big C section at 11. Keep them in your prayers. Auntie Sara. WOOT! (Did I use that correctly?)

flying bed

so, my dad has a pretty nice car and my uncle has always wanted to drive it. so, yesterday he got his chance. he was driving my mom around and low and behold FLYING BABY BED came out of a pickup truck and totally dented the car. gotta love IN!!

hilarious.

Click here: Walt Handelsman so funny.

cool flag

what did you say?

So, while teaching we are supposed to use ¨British¨ english so kids say the darndest thing like..trousers. They also say ¨Teacher, RUBBER¨ The first time I heard that I almost fell over. ¨WHAT did you just say?¨ And so they repeated, ¨Teacher, RUBBER.¨ WHOA. I was thinking..man, these kids are 6 years old. Aren´t they a little too young to be asking me for rubbers? Then a child pulled out an eraser and said, ¨rubber.¨ I still laugh every time they say it.

I´m so immature.

DUKE

look how adorable my friend heidis dog is.......

oh harrison ford how we love you. (our bird)

we play with him every night. he flies right to us. he likes to land on A´s head and he likes to eat our spit. gross i know. but we love our harry!!!

pics

well, i´m 27. that´s so close to 30 it´s scary. i had a nice b day although i don´t want to have anymore. can´t i just stay 27?

here are a few pics to celebrate my birth.

it´s my birthday

I´m 27!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

26

I´m trying to make the clock stop as I turn 27 at midnight. 27 is dangerously close to 30. When did this happen? I just took my drivers test at 16 and got hammered at 21. 27. This is just ridiculous. Nothing cool happens at 27. I guess we´ll find out at midnight. Goo-bye 26. I´ll miss. you.

strangers in the night

exchanging glances...i´ve had that song in my head for YEARS. why? no clue.

so, i just LOVE spain because we have holidays like no other country. i would actually bet that we have more days off here than any other country in the entire world of worlds. it´s fantastic.

so, the fun started last night when we all went out. i´m hanging with the crew from work and that´s always a good time. we went to TGIF´s to eat. hilarious. then we went bowling. this is actually the first tíme i´ve gone bowling in spain. this is only the second time in A´s life that he´s been bowling. the first time was in IN last X mas..so it´s been awhile. I´m an average bowler. I think i got 80. i´m kind of sad to admit this but i´m sore today. my arms and legs are SORE. how can this be from B.O.W.L.I.N.G.? i thought i was in shape but i was badly mistaken. i think it´s fun to watch people bowl. i think i stick my butt out when i throw the ball. it helps me concentrate.

today we tried to finish up some christmas shopping. the city is gorgeous with all the nights and beautiful flowers. it´s 60 degrees here. LOVING IT. i hear there is snow in IN. love that too (cuz i don´t have to live there).

peace

whoa

the week does fly by when one actually has... a job!

all is well on the job front. although, yesterday i wore a black blouse to work and a little girl apparently thought i was the chalkboard. and then she tried to erase me. i was not happy. and then i punched her.

there is always drama with our flat. now there are water spots on the ceilings in 2 rooms and in another on the wall. LEAKS. one of these days i hope to have a normal functioning home. i just stare at our beautiful christmas tree and all my problems go away. it doesn´t seem like christmas considering its 70s here. wicked.

i´ve always been a sensitive person but over the years it´s gotten a little out of hand. i used to LOVE to fish and when I went with A the other day i was almost crying over the fish that were caught because i felt so bad for them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats just weird.
