blogger won't let me log-in. so i'm trying this newfangled way thru my gmail. it's like writing an email, but when i sent it it's supposed to post on my blog. (mental note: do not accidentally send personal emails to pspd). i've been kind of intrigued by this concept and have been awaiting an opportunity to try it out. this is exciting.....

i kind of love that writing a blog entry via gmail is the most exciting thing that has happened to me in the last week. things are quite quiet in my head and home these days. it's pretty rare for me to feel this at peace. what amazes me the most is that i'm ENJOYING the peace. usually i get freaked out by calmness, as though it's simply the eye of the storm. i don't mind, because i'm sure that something randomly exciting will happen to me again in the near future. i don't need excitement every day. routine does not beget excitement.

francisco is trying to teach me some spanish before i go to peru (july 18). today we greeted each other "buenos dias", then he said me "that's good morning, what's good afternoon?", i looked at him sheepishly and suggested "buenos afternoon?". he rolled his eyes and said "oh $!#@, we have a long way to go..." but i think i've gotten the hang of it. good afternoon is "buenos tardes".

this afternoon i spent $4.50 on this week's groceries. i think that's a record low. i rewarded myself by going to canadian tire and picking up a few odds & ends that i've been needing (an oven lightbulb, a wood broom pole, etc). i LOVE getting things off my mental "to-do" list. i get a deep sense of satisfaction out of it.

so come over
just be patient
and don't worry
