Obsession

Why is that we want what others have? I'm afraid I won't want it anymore once I have it, but sometimes I can't stop thinking about it. Everywhere I look, there it is, and now nothing makes sense without it.

Making sense

While feeling lonely and waiting for my take out at Northstar on a friday night, I sit here wondering what kind of person am I. Everyone seems to like me, but yet I don't have many real friends. Well, at least none in the US.

It's kind of tough sometimes. People say: it must be hard having your whole family and friends living in another Country. It is, but most of the time I don't think about it. Except when I am disappointed with the high expectations I have for people that I barely know. I guess I expect them to love me, understand me and not be able to live without me right away. Crazy? Hmm.. Yeah. Maybe I just need to be more true to myself and enjoy my singleness.

On a second note, here are some things to enjoy: 1. Go home and eat my take out, with a glass of wine and my netflix on my huge new tv. 2. Lindt chocolate can cure any sadness. 3. Saturdays off rock. 4. Peanut Butter cookie from northstar, which I purchased in an act of rebellion and anger and I will not feel guilty enjoying it. 5. This is me anyways, as a stranger in a foreign Country with no fear to be different.

I know, I forgot about you!

Well.. life .. leaves you time to do nothing else.. I know, it makes no sense - but it does.

So where should I start - again? Well, let's start with today. What a great day! Any day that I don't need to work is a great day. I never thought I would want to be home and cook for my husband, clean the house, go food shopping and feel good about it, but yes I do! I cannot wait when I can become a full-time wife and part-time worker - because it surely feels like the opposite lately.

So this was tonight's dinner selection: Two recipes from a vegetarian book and the meat from my Brazilian memories. Wild rice stuffed acorn squash, stir-fried salad with cucumber, cherry tomatoes and dill, and carrot rolled in beef and bacon. White wine, cucumber water and for dessert Passion Fruit mousse - which I also made.

I think I did pretty well based on the fact that my husband usually does all the cooking at our home.

Now off to bed with a good book, to enjoy the last moments before I have to go back to work tomorrow morning.. uughh!

Adding color

Wow! We get back to real life and there is nothing cool to write about. It's been a while, and during those -almost- two weeks that passed, the only cool thing to wirte about are things from home. So, here it goes...







Aren't those colors and patterns fascinating??? I'll post more later...

Sem Palavras -- No Words

...except, it is good to feel the breeze on my face, hear the waves crashing, and drink fresh coconut water while happy couples are hanging out under the clear sky... it is good to finally be back home, even though it kind of doesn't feel like home anymore...

Gross Caterpillar of the Day

My husband saw this nasty caterpillar while sweeping outside. He first thought it was a snake. This thing has a weird head and dots on top of the head that look like eyes. In the end, we found a newspaper to make a home outside for this strange, freaky thing.

Pit Stop

One hour, four places to eat at a Gas Station in São Paulo, Brazil. Some places made me doubt which country I was in.

Subway:

Sushi Place:

Bakery/Pie Place:

Starbucks:
