a series of unrelated thoughts.
turns out, it's much harder to find inspiration to write posts when so much of your brain power is consumed with translating business texts from spanish to english. all i can think of are synonyms for various english words that might make more sense in one context versus another, and all the funny goes out of my brain. see? that sentence just seemed like a jumble of nouns to me. i think sometime i might write a post about the process i go through when i translate. it's a long road into madness that i traverse every week. could be fun! or weird. but fun!

date night was a success. because i know you were all wondering about that.and it came just in time for crazy travel season. yes, my darling dearest husband's main travel season for work happens to begin during the months that my work travel winds down. it also happens to begin right around busy holiday season. which means lots of popcorn and wine dinners and dawson's creek on netflix for me. also those pesky things like translation homework (#barf) and household chores (but no vacuuming). so i've got to enjoy him while i can.

have any of you ever seen/do you remember the movie, " chitty chitty bang bang"? that description in the poster down there basically sums it up. if you have seen it, would you like to have a sing-a-long with me? because i still remember in very good detail all the words to all the songs. a very special moment happened this month at book club, when my little silver dove anna and i simultaneously burst into the theme song, complete with dance moves. that's friendship my dears. knowing the same songs from the same childhood movies.

it gets dark disgustingly early now. like, i look out the window and realize that it's dark, and i panic because i just finished dinner, and did i pass out for three hours, and how can it be time to sleep already? then i realize that it's 7:15pm. and i live in the great white north. this leads to me avoiding home/housework by being on pinterest and twitter far more than is probably good for me. i tweet lots of things about the weather and the weird things i saw on the bus that day. tons of material there. hopefully the dark nights will eventually lead to higher levels of productivity. let me know if that's even possible.
