What I was doing...
10 years ago: 1998, I was 11 years old and in 6th grade. I had just moved with my family to Mason, Ohio and I didn't speak a word of English. I went to Mason Middle School,and basically don't remember a thing from 6th grade. A few things I do remeber though: after a few months I could communicate and had made lots of frieds. One day Tony comes up to me and asks if I want to "go out" with Zach. My response: "Go out where?" Totally did not understand the concept of 6th grade dating (and no, I did not go out with Tony, he weirded me out.) We had a Tornado warning and it scared me to death. The sky was dark and green and we had to put bords up the windows and sit underneath our tables for a really long time.
5 years ago: 2003 My family and I were on the move again. This time to Lisbon, Portugal. I was super excited and very upset at the same time. It was my last year in High School in Brazil, I was leaving all my friends (and my boyfriend - Johan), and I would have to start my senior year all over again. Still, I loved it. I loved living in Portugal, I loved the school, the culture and all of the experiences I had for that short year that I lived there. I miss Portugal like crazy and would go back in heart beat if given the chance.
A Year Ago: Exacly a year ago I had just gotten back from a wonderful (but short) trip from Brazil. My grandparents were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary and I went down for the family reunion/celebration. Because we slacked with Johan's visa application, he wasn't able to go. I missed him more than I thought possible! I did have tons of fun though. I went to the salon everyday. Got the works done (manicure, pedicure, hair cute, coloring) and felt like a million bucks. Shopped with my mom, ate all the foods that I missed and got to see my family and my in laws!
Yesterday: I bummed all day. Went to school and worked and then got home and just relaxed. The day before I had two big tests and was completely exausted. Amazing how much more tired I get now that I'm pregnant, and how much longer it takes for me to recover! I watched novela, did some packing (we're finally moving tomorrow!) ate some quesadilla with valentina and lime juice and watched a movie with my hubbie!
5 snacks I enjoy: Kibe, cereal (the healthy kind and the not-at-all healthy kind), quesadillas with valentina sauce and lime juice, apples and cheese, and though not a snack I would kiss right now for some caldo de cana (sugar cane juice - so good!)
5 Books I like: Twilight series, Chronicles of Narnia, Control Freak, Where the Wild Things Are and my cookbooks!
What I’d do with 100 million dollars: I would pay off our debts, pays off the debts of all my family members, houses and cars. I would start a bording school in Brazil like the one's they have in Mexico and also a small "Church" university (like the one in Virginia). I would save some for our future and our kids future, buy us a house in Brazil, invest on my dad's dream business travel the world and help all those that I could.
5 places I’d love to run away to: Casa da Lua (my grandparents house); Porto de Galinhas, Brazil; some deserted tropical beach; my parents/in laws place; anywhere else where Johan and I can be away from any problems or troubles and just relax. :o)
5 bad habits and/or pet peeves I have: I don't share milk. I hate shopping for clothes, all the changing really bugs me. I'm extremely forgetful - especially now. Disorganization bugs me to the core, and the fact that I don't have time to be as organized as I would like bugs me even more. I am very OCD with certain things.
5 things I like doing: Talking and hanging out with Johan, watching a movie on a rainy day, cooking new things, being crafty and having the house full of friends and family!
5 things I would never wear: Leather pants, animal prints, animal fur, my pjs in public and anything that is too short or too low or too small.
5 tv shows I like: John & Kate + Eight, anything on HGTV and Food Network, CSI Las Vegas, Desperate Housewives, Globo em geral.
5 famous people I’d like to meet: hummm, this is hard. John and Kate, Julie Andrews, Walt Disney and Hitler (as weird as it may be, I just have so many questions).
5 people I’d like to see fill this out:
Whoever is in the mood (and has nothing better to do because this takes forever!)
No sabado fui para IF com a Aline e comprei esses dois casaquinhos fofissimos para o Thomas. Hoje eu dei uma arrumadinha nas coisinhas dele. Já temos até que bastante coisinha! Tem uma gaveta só de fraldas que ganhamos! Tem também essas outras roupinhas que comprei em Salt Lake fim de semana passado. Notem o colete - que fofo!!!
Mas voltando a esse fim de semana... depois de noite teve um churrasco na casa da Rosemary, me diverti um monte depois com a Bebelle e a Jasmine na cama elastica. Vão ai as fotos de cada uma do dia. Jasmine fazendo "cute"e Bebelle - a canibal (sei lá daonde ela tirou aquela perna de Barbie, mas a guria não largou o negocio por um segundo!)
Meet Gavin, the cutest little 8 months old. Gavin was born with a genetic disorder called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency that caused hi liver to go into failure. He was misdiagnosed for 3 months and underwent emergency surgery before they found out what was wrong. He is now on the Organ Donation List and is waiting for his "gift of life" so he can have a liver transplant.
Obrigado vó!!!
