Today is my amazing husband Antonio Luque Guijarro´s birthday. I always get nostalgia on his birthday because seven years ago around his birthday is when we met. He was 27 years old turning 28. Today he´s the big 35. Really? 7 years ago I wrote him a birthday note in piss poor Spanish and I´m sure it´s around here somewhere. Lets hope I´ve improved since then.
Felicidades Nene! Te quiero!!

love letter
Yesterday was the last day at one of the elementary schools that I teach at. One of the girls gave me the cutest love letter and I´m framing it forever. It almost made me cry!
It says Hello! I´m Carlota! Todo esto y mucho más me lo has enseñado. Tú, tan buena y cariñosa. Te quiero un mogollón.
Translation...
Basically she wrote a whole bunch of vocab words that we learned throughout the year and she said......all of these things and much more you have taught me this year. You are so nice and caring. I love you a ton.
Tear.

on a roll
YES! The thing I just wrote about the other day happened AGAIN tonight. We went to a wine tasting with my friends family (she´s getting married fri) and had THE BEST time. I´ll admit the wine tasting was a bit intense. I felt like I was in a college lecture for two hrs. and she did demand silence a few times with no cheese. WTF? But whatevs....I got six count them SIX glasses of free wine! YES
Then, we went to dinner and had a fabulous time. The place was hopping on a Tues night at 12:30 am. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Score!
One of my most favorite things in the world is when you have NO plans on a Friday or Saturday night...phone rings....it´s friends and they say, ¨We are doing or going to X at X time and X place. You in?¨ SCORE!!!!
It doesn´t happen very often but if it does I am on the saddle and in a hard gallop towards the sunset.
So, last night it just so happened that our friends called us and said a popular Spanish band called (LOS ESCARBAJOS) http://www.beatlebiz.com/ were playing at a local bar. Can I just say that it was AMAZING! First of all I had no idea that they played Beatles songs. I just thought it was going to be a fun live music concert. Imagine my surprise when they started with DAY TRIPPER. I about flipped! An amazing 2.5 hour concert followed and I couldn´t have been happier. Who would have thought you could see a kick @ss Beatles concert downtown Sevilla? And Yes, the songs were in English. I repeat...Go# I love this place!!!!!!

gyno small talk
Going to the gyno is just about as much as stepping into a pile of poop. It´s that fun.
I´ve never gone in Spain before, but I had to bite the bullet and I´m proud to report that everything is Okay down under.
However, is gyno small talk really necessary? The doctor´s all, ¨So, how long have you been in Spain? Tell me about when you studied abroad here? Why don´t you just tell me your whole life story?........¨
Uh, hello I can´t speak cuz I have tongs up my twat (Did I just say twat? AWESOME!) and alhough you´re trying to make small talk I´m still fully aware that I am butt naked with my ass and crotch lingering in your face and you are stuffing things into my privates probably thinking of your supper. I´m also trying to squeeze in a fart and the whole time I´m thinking, ¨What if I fart? Don´t fart don´t fart don´t fart.¨ However......what if she hadn´t have said anything and we would have just been silent. That might have been awkward too. Either way I think it´s a lose lose situation.
It was actually kind of cool because she stuck a camera up there and she´s all...¨Ok, now look at the screen, this is your left ovary, your right ovary and something about a hole and the miracle of life..........¨ some other stuff I can´t remember. It is however a bit much to see your cervix on a Friday afternoon.
I actually went to the doc with my friend. You go into the bathroom and change and there was a towel you cover up with and booties for your feet. My friend went in after me and we are certain it was the same towel and booties.
This is a mystery to us. The Spanish are so clean...like anal about ¨GOD FORBID there be a crumb on the kitchen floor. Lets mop the streets. Lets mop 24/7 like it´s our job.¨
BUT 99 percent of them DO NOT wash their hands after going to the bathroom and my friend and I draped our naked bodies in the same towel. Who used the towel before me? What if I got pubic lice? And then come the questions....
So you see.......these are fun things I go through in Spain and I thought I needed to inform you!
Now that your updated on my vaginal status.....Good Day!
