Espaina
It has been almost one week since my return from Spain, and I miss it already.
This time last week I was enjoying a 'traditional Catalan lunch' with some amazing people we met during out trip. The meal consisted of grilled artichokes, large onions, salad, yummy tomato & garlic bread, sausage, pork-chops, potatoes, beans, more bread, and Catalan cream. Delicious!
During my short stay in Spain, I felt like my world was flipped upside down.
The culture, the environment, the people everything was amazing!
The Spanish people have a passion for living, that we lack. They don't rush around eating meals while driving as we American's do, they sit down for each meal, take their time, and enjoy every bite. They have leisurely days in which they just walk around or enjoy a conversation with friends, while we feel guilty if we spent the entire day without an accomplishment to show for it.
My goal for the year is to be more like the Spanish.
To take my time and enjoy each meal, to improve my wardrobe and not leave the house in 'i don't care outfits', and to enjoy the free time I have even if an accomplishment is not had.
My life will be forever changed.

Will it work?
Just watched the new episode of Brothers & Sisters on ABC, and it was very touching.
It hit a nerve with me, one that I'm sure it hurt with many people... that relationships need time, commitment, and most of all a desire and love for one another. From time to time we all take each other for granted, we start pointless fights, we get mad over things that don't matter; and its after these instances that matter most. This is when you know if you're relationship will work or fail.
What will you do?

Lately I have been on some type of Pasta kick. It has been quite fun experimenting with new sauces, half of the time i'm shocked that they are edible but...
Here are some photo's of my masterpieces... I could go for one now!

Library, Library
For the past 5.5 years (and more so if you count high school) I have been doing my homework in my house and more often then not in my bedroom. I am continuously told that this is bad for me, and that I should go and do my school work at the library.
Yesterday I decided to try out this recommendation.
I decided I would go to my local library (4 blocks away) as I have been wanting to go anyways. When I arrived it was jam packed full, there was no where to sit :(. I walked through all 3 floors and couldn't find anything. After this disappointment I remembered why I do my homework at home. Occasionally I will use my school library (which has more available seating), but its back to the trusty old bedroom homework for me.

Contemplation
While still contemplating wither or not the new computer is worth keeping, I seem to have come up with compelling arguments on both sides of the spectrum (not helping my decision however).
In addition I need to keep the 'new' computer at minimum one week, so i suppose this gives me a good amount of time to test it out and see how I feel about it.
The new computer is so pretty, but it does have a few pit falls. The biggest of which is the fact that it gets hot and stays hot, the old computer rarely did this. However it is easier to use than anticipated (I still have alot to learn).
This week will be a test for me, and for PC's everywhere.

Guilty.Nervous.Scared.Excited
So today my new toy arrived, and as excited as I am, I can't help but feel guilty.
My Fujitsu served me well, she worked whenever I needed it. She for the most part behaved, and was an all around good product. After three and a half years of wedded bliss (and a scare of failure), I decided that it was time to upgrade.

Money, Money, Money
Out of fear that my 'old computer' might crash on me soon, i went out and purchased a new computer (which will arrive in 6 days).
I am very excited for the new computer, however I cannot help but worry about the amount of money I just spent on the new computer.

Livid
You give people an inch, and they take a mile.
Sounds like the story of my life lately. You give someone a chance, they take advantage, reoccur, reoccur, reoccur, reoccur x infinity!
People take and take and take, and then take some more.
They care about no one but themselves, and why is anything more to be expected?
You invite them into your live, you share with them both spiritual and physical, you share your things and all you want in return is a little respect and reciprocation... and then they just take take take some more.
When does it end?
Why do others continue to give them chance after chance after chance?
Why does no one else see it?
