Surprises

So I woke up this morning to my mother yelling "We have to go to the airport! He's been waiting there for hours! I'm so mad at them!" Apparently, the company we were getting our exchange student from neglected to tell us that he was coming this morning. All of this has happened very fast. I just heard we were thinking about getting one a month ago. Anyways, he's here, he's very nice, and he wants to play football (the American kind! Shock!)

The rest of the day was very depressing. I went shopping for uniforms. I seriously didn't buy anything I would have ever bought on my own. I shopped at Aeropostale and Old Navy. Ack. Everything is so boring. And I only bought two pairs of pants and a skirt. Whoops. Ugh I was hoping to find something semi-good looking. The only good thing of the trip was that I found vintage Levi's. High waisted shorts just the right wash and look. Finally!

Also I woke up to find myself a bit injured. The tendon going from my ankle and up is very, very tight. If I walk the wrong way, it hurts very badly. This made the trip even worse. Anyways I'm exhausted, so I'm going to bed.

Well continuing with my laziness and lack of inspiration, I do not have any outfit photos, but here are some photos I like.

I just thought I'd post this, because it really excited me!

Going to see Knight & Day

Back in the US, at the airport in Washington

Sorry for the lack of posts. Hopefully you haven't forgotten about me. In Madrid I didn't have computer access, so I couldn't post then. And once I got home (Saturday) I've just been busy with the kids, lazy, and trying to read my summer reading.

Anyways while in Madrid, we mostly hung out around the house with the kids then went to the pool in the afternoon. It was very relaxing. We saw Knight & Day, which I need to see in English because I have no idea what was going on. I also got to go shopping! I'm thinking about doing a post with pictures of all the clothes I got this summer. Let me know if you think this would interesting.

So my sister was in town this weekend. Her birthday was yesterday and we had a party for her on Sunday. Yesterday however, she got a nasty jellyfish sting. Check it out.

Ouchh. Well I'm off to bed! Have a nice night.

Yup that store had some good things. Anyways more pampering today. Haha Inma got a haircut and she paid for me to have my hair blown out. Very nice.

On a sadder note, today was my last day in Miranda. It's going to be very sad when I leave. No more Luc, no more Inma and Kevin. I have enjoyed my time here and hopefully will come back to visit very very soon. Tomorrow we drive to Madrid and I will then meet up with Jose and Reme. Oh I'm going to miss Miranda. But Madrid here I come!

Today we went to Vitoria and shopped around with Inma's niece. It was very fun. I got four Spanish fashion magazines and it's been a lot of fun flipping through them. With it I got sandals and a shirt. It was quite funny. By the way, my Spanish has greatly improved. I can understand a lot now. Woo! Spain here I come! Well I guess that doesn't make sense since I'm already here. Haha.

Al dente.

Tonight we went to an Italian restaurant. Boy, do I love reasons to dress up! And I finally got to wear my shoes! We also got a pedicure so my toes looked lovely. The pale blue color is very nice. The pedicure was apparently not the best. (I wouldn't really know I haven't gotten many.) I enjoyed being pampered though.

We also went shopping where I got some really good stuff. I plan on wearing the outfit tomorrow. So you will see then. We later went to Ocio for a while later which was very nice. But man, Luc was tiiired. He fell asleep in the car (around 9:00) and so that was his bedtime, no dinner or anything. If that seems late for a little guy like that, you have to remember this is Spain, the earliest he usually goes to bed is 10:00.

Look at that little texter!

Today we visited Bilbao. We walked around, we ate, we went to the Guggenheim (but not inside we went there two years ago.)

We walked some more, we talked. And then we shopped! I got a skirt from H&M and a cute cream purse from a store called Blanco. I will post pictures tomorrow. It's just too dark for pictures tonight (Sorry La!).

We walked around Miranda with Luc after we got back from Bilbao. We saw the cutest, funniest thing. Tons of old people dancing in a square. It was so adorable. I don't know if I can paint hte best picture with my words or even the picture below. But truly it was so cute.
