It's been raining for three days in San Juan. Bummer. I just hope that the rain will be over by Friday, since I'm taking Friday and Saturday off. I'm so excited to have two consecutive days off! I think we should go out and shop for some furniture and then hit the beach. I think we may go to the rainforest on Saturday with Heath... that will be fun (eventhough it will be my 5th or 6th trip up the mountain).
I have to remember to call Emile on Saturday to wish her a happy birthday. She's having a birthday party that night... ::sigh:: I wish I could go to NY and go out with her, she's so much fun. I also have to make time to call Louis; he called me last week and I still haven't called him back, yickes!

Post Family Visit
Wow, what a week...
Joseph came back from Hawaii (finally...), two days later my dad arrived, two days after that my brother and niece came in from Phoenix and three days later Josephs two kids flew down from NY. Needless to say, it was a busy, crowded couple of weeks. And I had a blast!!
It was great to have my dad visit again. And I got to spend lots of time with my niece... I just love her.
Now, everyone's been gone for a couple of weeks already (except for Joseph); the apartment's quiet again, and we're already thinking about a trip up to NY in June and bringing my family back to Christmas. That would be exciting!

Going thru shopping withdrawal
That's right, that is exactly how I'm feeling. Being from NYC, I don't consider Walmart as one of my "shopping" options (especially when looking for clothes). Ofcourse there are malls here, but I've never been a mall rat. I loved having my choice of boutiques and chain stores, both low and high end. But here, there aren't many choices. It's either Gap, Old Navy, etc, or teeny-bopper type stores where everything is cheaply made and way too small.
Not surprisingly though, is the fact that women here wear their clothes way too tight and rather sloppy. And to make things worse, since more than 65% of the population is overweight.... let's just say it's not a pretty sight. Even women who are well dressed, walk around with their pants so tight up their croth you wonder how can they be comfortable? And their tops are always tight, cut way too low at the neck line or too short at the waist.
I need to go shopping........ can I go to NY for the day and come home with bags full of clothes? Please....

Here I am again
Wow, I can't beleive it's been 3 months since I've posted. But I have good reason; work is crazy busy, many times stressful and the little time I have to call my own, I spend in front of the tv to escape the fact that I'm alone.
These past few months have been very tough. Joseph's in Hawaii working and although we talk several times a day and leave eachother messages, I miss him terribly and am starting to feel lonely. I know it's just as hard for him so as always I try to be very positive and comforting.
Today was a particularly bad day. I went crazy cleaning the entire apartment, and as is my routine, I played music super loud to keep me going. The only problem was that since I've been feeling homesick, listening to all that Colombian music just depressed me more. I practically spent the day with Lysol in one hand and Kleenex in the other.... hmmm, sounds funny now that I think about it.
Enough with the sadness; I do have good news. Emile and Matthew are coming to visit next week. Yey! Emile's arriving Wednesday night and leaving Monday afternoon, I am soooo looking forward to her visit. She's so energetic and funny, I know she'll have me feeling better in no time. And ofcourse I'll have someone to go out with, thank God!
Matthew is suppossed to call me sometime next week to let me know when he'll be arriving, which might be next weekend. I'm glad he's coming, he's a nice guy and he'll get me cought up with what's going on at home in Brooklyn. I don't know if he's coming alone (he might be bringing someone along). Imagine.... alone for the past couple of months and now in one week I may have 3 guests.
Ain't life a pisser.
