I just made myself a gigantic bowl of ramen noodles for lunch because some days you have to say to hell with sodium.
We were watching a documentary in Spanish last night (Cartel Land, watch it, fantastic) and so of course every time I had to say something to Chris it came out in Spanish first and then English. He cracks up every single time and I don’t understand why it’s so funny to him. He says because it’s always unexpected (seriously though every time?). I guess it’s because he’s not bilingual. Anyone who speaks more than one language would understand. It’s hard hear one language you speak and respond in another. Your brain just switches over. It’s totally naturally. Not… funny…
I finished the work on my to-do list surprisingly early today. I’m going to edit pictures and maybe work on a custom order later but my plan is to take it easy today. I’m not quite feeling myself for some reason.
One of my favourite qualities about myself is my absolute confidence that I can do anything I put my mind to. It doesn’t mean I don’t feel afraid, but I push through it. My world has been made so much larger and richer because of this.
I am going to cook my husband a huge dinner of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and corn tonight. He has been going through a really rough time lately with work and he is just about ready to quit, and just in general he’s been under a lot of stress. So I’m gonna make him some comfort food and stuff his face until he passes out because he hasn’t been sleeping well either.
Menos mal is a phrase is Spanish that means “luckily” or “thankfully”, as in menos mal que no tengo trabajo mañana, or “luckily I don’t have work tomorrow”. The words themselves literally mean “less bad” and I always found that interesting. Maybe that’s what luck is? Less bad…
One of my friends from high school just commented on a picture of a gemstone I put up with the exclamation “uff” and I immediately laughed. Is that even translatable? You see a hot guy walking by you go uff. You see a pair of gorgeous shoes in the store window your exclain uff. You take a bite of the most decadent chocolate cake you say uff que rico! I use it all the time but how do you say that in English?
