You can click on the title to listen while you read or just watch the video.It's been a while since I have written. It's not out of laziness, I have my reasons, but I don't feel like explaining them here.I have been here for over a year now and a lot has happened in that time. One year ago yesterday was the day my Aunt Ann passed away. It was hard being so far from everyone, but I imagine it

As we were watching TV the other night this ad came on. At first I thought it looked like they were promoting Bush. Why such positive images? But then came the end and I almost choked... Wow!! What a convincing ad.http://www.publico.es/espana/229234/aznarNot to vote has consequences.

So much has been happening these past few months, I haven't been able to sit down and write, because I don't know where to start. Everything is great though and I would like to write more about it soon. This week, however, is dedicated to Fallas... ¿Don't know what it is? Check out the link...http://www.fallasfromvalencia.com/I will post my pics soon.

Sometimes I miss blogging, sometimes I don't.

It's a good thing my new year's resolution wasn't to be more persistent with my blog writing, or any writing at all or I would have already ruined it. I will write soon in case anybody is wondering, but more because I miss it. Suddenly about a month ago I stopped and I feel it. Sometimes just writing a little bit helps get me centered. Peace and love.

Did you ever feel like you can't say everything you want to say... even if you want to say it? Maybe for fear of jinxing a situation or hurting someones feelings or maybe you don't want EVERYONE to know everything about you. Sometimes this makes it difficult to blog. I will say this though, I had a lovely Christmas here on this side of the pond, the second in a row if you can believe that. I

This mornings sunrise taken with my crappy camera.It's 8:05 AM and I have been awake for nearly three hours. Wide awake and not really feeling like doing much which sucks because I have a lot to do. I haven't sent out my Christmas presents yet, which means they will never get there by Christmas. Nor have I bought any presents for my friends here, which also sucks. I used to love to go out and

A piece of fall.Last week while on the bus coming home from work I was studying Spanish, well specifically words with tildas and where to place the accents when there are no tildas. This is a difficult thing to study alone but I was practicing for a lesson so I was reading quietly aloud and trying to ignore the fact that people around me might think I am nuts. Well, as it turned out, the man

I think about life, the past, the future and the present. All of these things help make the person I was, I am and I will be. Sometimes life seems so beautiful and interesting and other times it is scary and confusing. I have come to understand that I am a person who needs both stability and excitement. Without these factors I become lost and crave more.I sometimes wonder, but try not to

Oh what a long day I had yesterday. Wednesdays are always the worst. I have 5 hours of teaching and two consecutive classes from hell. One are full of ornery preadolescents and the other are just 'littles' aged at an average of 6. I have a whole new respect for elementary school teachers, and I respected them a lot before. The good news is tomorrow is jueves which in translates to Friday for

I haven't been writing much lately and so much has been going on. Life is good to me and I can't complain but I am tired because even though I am getting used to my new lifestyle and home, it is still very different from anything I have ever experienced before... all of it. I don't always get to write about everything I want to for a variety of reasons, but there are things I would like to

How could it be that all in one day I have so much to say and yet nothing at all. I wish that everyone could have as good of a Thanksgiving as I had. More to come soon.

This was sent to me via email from my friend Cleo, who along with her husband, Juan Jose and my roommate Klara, I enjoyed a lovely meal with on Friday night... Prior to eating we saw a film and afterward cocktails and modified Trivial Pursuit at Sinpy Jo's. SOCIALISM You have 2 cows. You give one to your neighbor. COMMUNISM You have 2 cows.

Well, it's unusual that I get to write in the middle of the day between Monday and Thursday, but today is a bit of an unusual day. Before I can explain why it is unusual, I should first explain what has become usual for me because what is now a regular day used to seem quite irregular to me. On the days that I work, I have to be out of my house and on the way to the Metro by 11AM. I get on the

Afterall, I sent in my vote...He did it!!I fell asleep with my laptop on and this morning I was woken by a former student (and current caretaker of my Monte).

It's 11:11 PM, that's good luck right?Anyway, a funny thing happened to me on my way to work. I was in the elevator, same as every morning, though today I was running late and in fear that my Metro ride wouldn't get me to the bus on time. The elevator has a large mirror and so usually I check myself out a bit making sure I am ready to hit the world. Instead today, I was rumbling through my bag

Day three of Spanish classes and I overslept... Oooops. While I do take responsibility as I was up until about 3AM writing and doing some other things. in other words unwinding, I mostly blame my alarm clock. Yesterday, the snooze went off every minute for about 6 minutes until I finally had to disconnect the battery because I couldn't figure out how to make it stop and I wanted to kill it.

Wow, it's been a long time since I have written. This week has flown past, well actually this month.I started working my full time hours...well kind of full-time. I still only actually teach 20 hours a week, but with the commute and the lunch break I am out of the house from about 10:45AM to 10:15PM. It's a long day, but I like it and I still have Friday thru Sunday off so I really can't

The market of my neighborhood.El mercado de mi neighbohood. Did you ever notice that the same thing that feels daunting or exhausting can also be fun and exciting with just a simple change in attitude?

I had a great weekend and am still having it in fact.In NY, I have a friend Pat who has been a big part of our teacher's union. On the back of his truck, he had a bumper sticker that read, "Union, the people that brought you the weekend.". A brilliant idea the weekend is, I have to admit, but... I also have to admit the 3 day weekend rocks!!! I like this.My work days are rather long or at

The weather has been dreary the past few days I guess it is the beginning of the rainy season though I was under the impression it didn't start until October. Anyway the other day while I was teaching it started to rain so hard it was almost to noisy to teach. Yesterday morning I meant to buy an umbrella, but forgot so of course, it rained. When I got out of the Metro it was drizzling and I

Three days into the new job and I am totally exhausted. The kids are great, some more of a handful than others, but I feel like I can learn as much from them as they can from me. The learning is one of the things I love most about teaching.. Language aside, there is such a difference between these kids and kids I have taught in the past. For one thing, generally speaking, they are so organized. I

My, my, my... what a week I have had. I don't know if I have written this before, but in the past I have compared my life to be a bit like a roller coaster ride. Lots of ups and downs, but never dull moment. I simply don't allow for dull... quiet or tranquil sometimes, but never dull. Lately, however, I feel more like popcorn being cooked in a machine. My ups are very up and my downs are very

Today was a strange day. I went to 4 hours of Spanish classes then decided to pay a visit to my Spanish Bagel friends. Serg was the only one there and he pretty much only speaks Spanish and Valenciano so I got to talk to him a bit which was nice. Luckily I was already a bit "warmed up" from class. I find it very difficult to get into the mindset of speaking Spanish, but once I get warmed up I can

My apologies for not having written in a while. I have had an incredibly busy week, especially for a girl without a job!! I am loving that, but have been preparing myself to go back to work. Schools don't start here until October and the hiring begins in September so..... things should start happening for me soon.I haven't time to write much, but I will tell a funny story and leave you with

13h, is what they call it here, 1PM that's when I woke up today. Yesterday was a holiday, though I am still not sure why. Julie had the day off and the weather was perfect so we rode out bikes to the beach and laid out for a few hours. While laying in the sun I decided I wanted to cook us dinner. Each time this happens to me I feel a little closer to being healed (I guess) from the years

Yesterday was the first day the heat really got to me. It was still breezy as always, but the breeze itself was hot and humid and the temperature was over 40C or 104F. It was gross. After school I had planned to go to the beach, but the wind was so intense it would not have been a pleasurable experience. The sand is very fine here and it gets everywhere even on a breezy day. Anyway, it was too

It's late, but I am wide awake. Today was a weird day. I was in a pissed off mood when I woke up, but I made the best of it. I started packing and looking through paperwork to get ready for the upcoming move. This will be the easiest one this year... just a taxi ride away. I blew off class today because there have been from 10-13 students in the class. It's just too big and there aren't

Tonight I went to an overcrowded bar called Radio City with my friends from school. There was live Flamenco dancing and music. The music was fantastic, so passionate and alive. It was too crowded to see much of the dancing so for a while I stood apart from the crowd, closed my eyes and felt just the music. I would like to go again, only earlier so I have a better view.I can't deal with not

It's kind of strange that it is getting harder for me to write.Each day more words are popping into my head as Spanish mixed with English... well it's still mostly English, I just hear more Spanish than ever. It's a sounds little weird when I try to explain it, so perhaps I won't. I will say this though, I understand more everyday.This weekend some friends and I went El Puig, a small Pueblo

The big question I get from everyone... How is my Spanish????Well the following is a perfect example, but first let me explain.I have met a woman, Adriana, via LoQuo, (similar to Craigslist) with whom I do a language exchange. Her English is far more advanced then mí española, but she doesn't seem to mind. She is about my age, has been in españa for 10 years and is from South America. She is

My camera is gone. I lost it at the beach last night. I am so sad!!!I got home about 4AM and as soon as I realized it was gone and dragged Erin into a cab and headed back to the beach. I told the cab driver, in Spanish, to take us to the metro stop at the beach. He headed in the wrong direction immediately. I was watching carefully because I know there are many ways to get to the beach...

Yesterday I spoke with my mom as my cousins buried my aunt in upstate NY. Mom is back in Florida unable to get to NY and feeling sad about it as I am. Aunt Ann would have understood why each of us couldn't be there. She really would have, I thought about my cousins. At this point, from that generation, my brother and I are the only ones left with parents. I miss my parents.... sometimes the

Last night...Mí amigo, Stevie, from England left today (Sat.) so last night Erin and I threw a little party in his homor. He has kind of been the leader of the pack since we all arrived, he gathered everyone's numbers and always made sure no one was left out. Though he always tried to act like he didn't care... he did and showed. He's already missed by all. of us.The party started early for

I think my aunt passing away was very was difficult for everyone who knew her but for me it brought about a whole new set of issues. Here I am so very far away. I miss my family regularly, but to not be there in this time of need was really hard for me. I am a caretaker, it is what I do. I have

I went to the bull fight tonight... yeah, yeah, yeah... I can say it in Spanish, but I don't feel like it. Besides I think I'm still in shock.Perhaps today wasn't the best day for me to go to a bullfight... perhaps there really is no good day to go watch a beast be tortured... because don't let them fool you, what they do to the bull is tease, bully and torture him.

Finally at 3:00 I called her and she told me she just got a call from the hospital saying that Aunt Ann's blood pressure was dropping. My mom was staying at a hotel across the street so went right over. Shortly after that Aunt Ann's kids came too, my cousins. They were all with

I am or be... no argument here... I went to the beach with a bunch of kids from school late tonight. I love being near the sea.We sat and exchanged stories, well they did; tonight I mostly just listened. It was a unique mixture of people non-native and native English speaking people with little in common besides a few weeks together in Valencia and our love for good company and wine. We

No worries... so I cried a bit, I am only human after all. I was feeling fine and optimistic the very next day.Today I went to the Oceanogriafco (Aquarium). When I got home I found out that my Aunt Ann had a massive heart attack the night before and a stroke this morning. She is not doing well at all. My mother is driving up to North Carolina to be with her and cousins. I am so sad not to be

There are times when being here is so overwhelming and lonely. Class today sucked… I felt like I wanted to burst into tears. I didn’t understand what the hell my teacher was talking about and it was very frustrating. In the end, he apologized because I was not the only feeling confused. It scared me a lot though. There are moments when I think I am trying to do too much at once and fear I

I cooked... yes it's true, a whole meal in fact. I was inspired by last night's party. I went to a classmates a 22 year old British boy who decided he was going to have a barby The sweet man, Stevie, bought a bbq, toms of meat and invited everyone in class to come over for some festivities. Poor Stevie didn't have a clue how to get the bbq going and when he finally gave up, Vince and I

Roughly translated, that's Spanish for hahahaha... lolOk so last night I decided I wanted to go see fireworks at the beach. From my house to the beach is simple, walk 3 blocks, catch tram, stay on tram for 10 minutes, get off and walk one block to beach. I have done this many times to enjoy a beautiful sunny day (which every day so far has been). Last night shouldn't be any different...but...I

It occurred to me today that it has been one week since I left NY and I think I have only posted one blog. I have been so busy as it seems almost every move requires more effort that at home. Not having a car has been great. I love the walking. I have strolled home from downtown through several different areas and I think I found my favorite way today, at least so far. The walk from my home

El hombre de Barcelona gave me an envelope when I was in NYC, I was told to wait until I was on the plane to open it. I waited until I was over the Atlantic because with all the excitement it wasn't the first thing on my mind.

Craigslist strikes once again and my baby "Salsa"is sold. The first (and probably the only) new car I ever owned. My present to myself for getting tenure. On the one hand, I will miss it, I have had a car since I was 16, never been without one. On the other hand, I have had a car since I was 16 and am looking forward to living some place that allows me not to have to rely on my own vehicle.

School's out....The last day of school. Good-byes, good hugs, lots of love. It feels good to be finished. It feels good to be surrounded by people who, although complain about it, love their job. We do amazing work and I am proud to be a part of that team.Also, I am happy and grateful to get the hell away from there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1My friends will always be my friends no matter how near

After all the packing I have done, the downsizing of stuff in the last year, I sit here looking again. What to stay, what to store and what to simply get rid of? The "stuff" part was the easiest... almost everything went. Very few things have been stored as far as chachkas or knick knacks or what have you. Now it's all coming down to the final cut... the wardrobe, the clothes, the shoes,

My alarm clock broke the other day, I don't want to buy a new one here. Shouldn't that mean I don't have to wake up early anymore?Two more days until school is over... one week until I leave. :)I got two replies to the CV's (resumes)I sent out this weekend. One from a guy in Valencia who is from Buffalo and went to SUNY Albany.:)Last night I was laying awake in bed for what seemed like forever

The end of an era!!! George Carlin, perhaps one of the most intelligent and hysterically funny men ever to walk the planet is gone. He is gone, but his humor will live on for generations to come... once they hit an age that you can let them hear his dirty mouth.

I will be so what?This past weekend:After a dinner with my dad, my brothers and some friends Friday night at café española that was muy delicioso, we head to club to listen to some music. We were hanging out and dancing a bit when in walks this gentleman dressed to the "T" holding a guitar. I couldn't help but notice him and I had a hunch, so I asked, "Pardona Señor, may I ask where you are

I just noticed this post in my drafts and got a giggle out of it so I decided to post it even though it seems like it's from ages ago.Two weeks until I leave my home and everyone I know to cross the ocean and experience something new. Something new? Well, lots of 'somethings' new I think. A friend asked me recently if I will be able to live without the American lifestyle things I am used to, or I

Throughout life there are so many changes, in love, in environment, in friends, jobs, attitudes, desires, dreams and more. One thing that will always remain true in my life is that these are my boys! May we always be there for each other.

I survived yet another fun-filled, hippie-dippy, freak-show,weekend... Ahhhh the memories!Mountain Jam, Hunter Mountain, NY.I considered paying for this costly event as there were a few bands I wanted to see, but luckily my friends were working a booth and invited me with them. Free tickets for camping and music for hanging out and selling beautiful Tibetan items, no problem.The bands were good.

This morning, the car is packed with camping gear and merchandise to sell at Mountain Jam this weekend. I'm running around all morning getting ready for work and the weekend away. I'm psyched, in a great mood and ready to go. I get in my car and it barely moves. I get out and look and my front, right tire is completely flat! Oh noooooooo.... a million thoughts running through my head. I'll be

Little by little..... Photo by KMZ age 6Another weekend spent preparing for the 'next step'. My head is spinning from one 'next step' to the 'next step'. My brother and my dad helped me with my resume this weekend. My dad helped me write and rewrite like he used to do when I was in college stressing about papers that were soon to be due. It was nice to have that kind of support from them.

Today is a day, much like any other day, yet unlike any other I have known. I am glad to be living it. On this day, I felt new music and then danced to some old. I feel the changes happening, I feel them deep in me. It's funny how connections happen. It's fascinating how things change. So many are afraid to let life evolve around them. Right now I welcome it all. Thank you world for bringing

Last weekend I attended a course to become internationally certified as an English as a Second Language instructor. The picture is of the folks I took the class with, what a great group!!This week my leave of absence was officially approved. Things continue to evolve and happen. Though I don't believe much in luck, lately I am feeling very lucky.

When I moved to Key West it was the first time in my life I was on my own. It was also the first time in my life I didn't have a dog, so it seemed only logical to get one. The thing was, I always had dogs with my family, this was the first time I had one on my own and didn't realize the responsibility he would bring. I remember the day I went to the pound to pick him out. I wanted a small dog

My friend J called me Friday night saying she need some TLC... although I had been home from work sick for three days, I grabbed another gf went over and spent some time with her. She is losing her mother, to a slow painful death, which of course is hard for any child to see, no matter how old. We didn't talk much about her mom, but we spoke of many other things. We drank some wine and laughed

It's been a while since I have written anything here. So much has been going on and I have been so busy, it's not that I haven't been writing, I have, I just haven't felt ready to share. This week was rather intense though and I guess it's time to write some. Tuesday, March 25th, Ken and I became legally separated. It was a strange feeling, we walked into that hideous city office building and

The first time I saw this house, I knew I wanted it. The location, its sturdiness, the woodwork and the little dead end street, I loved it all. As we walked around for the first time, I felt at home and like it fit us. We put an offer in right away and the owner thought it over. He was in the house when we first looked so he told us about all the work he had done and also what he'd

A couple of weeks ago I went roller skating with some of my girlfriends. It was great fun and very inspiring on many levels. The rink is fairly new, but reminded me of my days of skating in the '80's... wow, does that sound like such a long time ago. I was glad to know that roller skating is much like riding a bike, once I tied up those skates, I was off. Though I still can't skate backwards,

On this day, in one year from today, the United States America will be swearing in a new president.... now the countdown may begin. When sworn in for a second time (and how this happened, I will never know!) Bush gave world leaders a choice between oppression and freedom. He stated that it would be the policy of the US to end tyrannies and support democracies in every nation and culture.

My advice to my students who want the day off tomorrow due to the possibility of an impending snowstorm is the following:1-Put on your favorite pajamas both inside out and backwards.2-Grab a cup with a few ice cubes.3-Stand at your back door (front might work, but there is more of a risk of other's seeing).4-Open the door and turn your back to the great outdoors.5-Throw the cubes, one at a time

The beloved view from my classroom window has gone from wooded beauty with deer and wild turkey... to a clear cut lot being prepared for "affordable housing". My dear woods are almost completely gone. I suspect I will mourn this loss for months to come.

I just don't know how or where to begin.Christmas was my first day there and so the streets of Madrid were very quiet, as was the subway ride to my hostal. It was a nice way to be introduced to Madrid because every day after that, her

Merry Christmas or Feliz Navidad to me I guess. I’m sitting in JFK Airport waiting for my flight that leaves in about 4 hours. I was lucky enough to have a friend drop me off door to door service, but earlier than I had hoped. Not that I’m complaining mind you, I am grateful for the lift, the company and not having to pay to park my car. Never in my life have I seen an airport so quiet, but

Today I did something just for me. Years ago my mother had given me a ring from my grandmother (dad's mom). It was too small and although I have always admired it, I never had it sized. Well yesterday I sized it to replace my wedding band on my left hand. I love it!!!

A simple 2 hour delay, but how it puts a smile on my face. Was feeling good about it all until I fell while carrying a mirror that belonged to my new roommate... shattered everywhere and even broke the frame. Does this mean my bad luck will begin now?... honestly, I'm in no mood for it so I think I will simply reject the entire notion and pay to replace the mirror. Not much snow on the ground,

December is here, another year come and almost gone. So much has happened and changed in my life this year, I can hardly believe it. I moved in with a friend yesterday, I'll stay here for a while at least. Its nice, I have the attic room finished and cozy. I'm still unpacking and trying to make it feel like my very own. Work keeps me busy as usual and I have been doing a lot of reading,

I am giving thanks to my friends and family who have invited me to spend this Thanksgiving with them, knowing it would be my first holiday apart from Ken in many years. Today I will have dinner out with friends and then stop by to see more friends, no cooking or cleaning for me today and that feels good.
