Protein Drink

A funny blurb from this weekend.

My husband and I were at my mom's house while she was cleaning out the cabinets. She found a brand new tub of protein powder. Asking my dad like always if was ever going to use it, he immediately claimed that he wanted to start taking it. As my mom and I rolled our eyes, my dad looked at my husband. "You want to start taking it together," he asked. My husband answered in an unexpected way asking "Does it make you fart?" As so not funny as that may sound to you, you must know that my husband didn't speak a word of English a year and a half ago. He's not taking classes either, he just listens to me when I speak. But seeing as how we speak to each other in Spanish, he doesn't get too much practice.
So when my non-English speaking husband asks in perfect English if the protein powder will make him fart, it's pretty funny!

Monday Again

Grumble, grumble! It's Monday again.
How is that possible? It seems like it was just Monday.
Bills to pay, loads of laundry [again, somehow], prep for moving...
I'm not currently working so I guess I can't grumble too much.
But a whole week has gone by and I'm still sick.
I don't think these meds are working. I've been drinking herbal tea and as of yesterday I've been gargling. Only with Listerine though.
Does anyone know of easy remedies?
I've heard of gargling salt water or warm orange juice.
Numbing spray; although I don't know how that would heal me.

Horse Pills

Ugh! Being sick is never fun!
I've been sick for six days now and on meds for five of them.
I'm not horribly ill, don't worry it's not swine flu!
It's just been this awful sore throat. No cough, runny nose... nothing.
Just me and my achy throat.
What's almost worse are the meds.
I remember as a little girl having to take awful tasting medicine and looking forward to the day when I could take something that didn't taste so gross.
Let me tell you, the medicine I'm taking now is one of the most disgusting things ever.
As most of you don't know, I live in Mexico. (My husband is from here).
And unlike the states, the don't coat their pills. So as you can imagine, the pill starts to dissolve as soon as it enters your mouth. Even before you have time to pick up the giant glass of water that you're going to need! Oh and by looking at the size of them, you'd think they were meant for horses.
Woof! It's awful.
The first few days of taking the pills, my husband kept making sure that I had taken them, knowing that I hated to take them.

So yeah. I live in Mexico, and will until this winter. We have been waiting for my husband's papers; they still haven't come but prayerfully they will.
I am going back to finish college. (I took a year off). And so in December, I'll be moving back and I hope he's with me. I can't imagine living alone! Especially in two different countries.
But like I said, we're hoping he'll have his papers.

So, if you have the time, shoot up a little prayer for us!

Just the Beginning

A new page. A blank one, at that.
Oh the possibilities!
There is a bottomless pit overflowing with ideas.

I am a new bride. Fresh off the market. Clean cut. Unseasoned.
This is where I have decided to keep a journal.
The funny moments. Moments of sadness and angst.
Where I can jot down my thoughts on being The Mrs.

Here we go....
