I'm Back!

So I got back on Monday but I've just been kind of too lazy to update. I was sick when I came back too =( I was pretty much resting all week. I'll post pictures in time.

<3<3<3

I am loving the Katy Perry song! I Kissed A Girl. It's so catchy! =)

My First Day Part 3:

Okay so I did forget to mention that before Bjork and even before Paella my plane landed in Barcelonsies and Andrew and his entire familiy drove 3 hours from Zaragoza and spent the night in Barcelonesies prior to my arrival.

After passing through customs and waiting for my luggage which was kind of a scary moment because my luggage was seriously one of the last ones to come out (WITH THIS HEAVY TAG ON IT! It was heavy but not that heavy!) and having to stand next to this American woman who was saying to her daughter "maybe our luggages didn't make it!" made me kind of worry a bit. I walked out of the conveyor belt area to look for Andrew. I was walking and walking and I couldn't find them so I was kind of sad that I didn't get any YAY! HOLA!! HAHA. So I called Andrew's Tia Carmen's cell phone and luckily my cell phone worked so I was able to get a hold of them. Then in just a few minutes I saw Andrew and his family walking through the revolving doors with smiles hugs and kisses. <3<3<3

I slept the entire car ride back to Zaragoza and Andrew took some HORRENDOUS pictures of me that will never be shown to the public.

Its raining in Paris right now!! =(

My First Day Part 2:

After I got to Spain and rested I went to a concert at the Zaragoza Expo and watched this African group perform and Bjork was a special guest!

I was kind of disappointed though because she only performed 2 songs. Wish she sang more. We drank cerveza with limon and snacked on this Jamon flavored Ruffles (pronounced Roof-Less)!

They don't taste as good as these grilled chicken Lays. I'm not sure if I took a picture of that bag of Lays potato chips but those tasted like I was having grilled rotisserie chicken or at least on the first bite it did.

My First Meal

I was sick on the day I arrived in Spain which was really sad because I couldn't enjoy this wonderful paella as much as I wanted to. Aside from that though it still tasted so good and I love it sooo much. Nothing in the US compares to this. SERIOUSLY!!

To celebrate we had champagne dressed in this beautiful tux!! So chic! LOL.

We ended the meal with this: I LOVE NATA!!

It was like there was a symphony in my mouth. Literally because it said Mozart on the cake. I love it I love it!! =)

This is crazy but its our second day in France and I'm washing clothes.....AGAIN! It takes awhile here approximately 1 hour and 40 min / load!

Bonjour!!

Hey dedicated tinelovesyou blog readers!! I am writing from gay Paris!! =)

Andrew and I got here just a few hours ago and we have gotten so much done!

1. We got our keys to our oh so very cute apartment in Le Marais on Rue de Nicolas Flamel and met the infamous RAY LAMPARD of ROTH RAY.
2. Got a tour of our place.
3. Walked to the BEST Falafal restaurant in the WORLD!! We ate here the last time we were here and OMG....it was a don't get me started moment. I love it.
4. We almost had gelato literally like 10 minutes after we scarfed down our falafel but we figured lets walk around and burn some calories.
5. We walked to Hotel de Ville and of course had a mini photo shoot session.
6. Bought my mom her Paris scarves that she's been asking about since I stepped food on European soil.
7. We bought tons of water from this souvenir shop and ended up realising we spent like 20x more for a bottle of water when down the street was 2 super marches!
8. Walked back to the apartment and unpacked.
9. I decided to wash some clothes.
10. Andrew decided to iron.
11. We felt good about organizing, washing, and ironing.
12. Now we are going to celebrate by having a bottle of CHAMPAGNE!!

Sorry I haven't posted pictures. I've been using Andrew's cousin's computer for the past week and now that we are using his computer we'll be able to post pictures of our 2008 Euro trip!

Au Revoir!!

Waiting....

I'm sitting at the airport waiting for my flight. I just ate the
nastiest sandwich because there is no where to eat here and I didn't
want to sit in a restaurant or eat hot dogs.

My throat is still a bit sore so I bought some lozenges and a small
tea in hopes that it will soothe my throat.

On my flight from San Diego to New York I sat next to this lady who
bought so many alcoholic beverages during the flight she just reeked
of alkie!! It was like the alkie was seeping out of her pores!! Not
to mention the fact that she had the largest hands and feet I've ever
seen in my life!! As she took the bottle of Pinot grigio from the
flight attendant I thought she was going to crush that bottle with her
hands!! LOL!

Ill write more soon....Toodles!!

Edible Arrangements!!

My family got a bouquet of edible arrangements today! The crazy thing was that it was sent to the wrong address. I guess the family across the street and 2 houses down got it and put it in their fridge on its side!! At least they gave it to us.

We also got a box of chocolate covered strawberries and apples!!

I am leaving for Spain tomorrow!! =) I will definitely keep everyone posted on my travels!! Adios and Au Revoir!!

Sad

I am so sick right now!! I want to cry. :(

VAVA What?

Joel and I went to Fashion Valley yesterday to go shopping. He needed to buy a few things and I was helping him out. I was a little bit hung over from Andrew's birthday celebrations the night before so I was just a little out of it (details on Andrew's Blog about that celebration I'm just too lazy to type up anything plus I don't have any pictures to post from it on my camera because they are all on Andrew's camera which unfortunately didn't make it with him to Spain YET but will be there in only a few days). I didn't really feel like eating anything which I guess was good I guess. After walking to 20 million stores in search for a white watch a Starbucks employee came to us offering his last 3 samples Starbuck's new nourishing blends Vivanno chocolate banana smoothie. He made us take all 3 and of course because it was free and we are ghetto barbarians we took it. He also gave us two coupons for a complimentary vivanno drink!! Seriously about 15 minutes later a different lady came up to us offering another sample of the chocolate banana smoothie and again took some!! HAHAHA!!

After walking around Fashion I was finally ready for my complimentary grande vivanno smoothie!! Ok I checked on the Starbucks website for nutritional facts and I guess it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Although 270 calories will probably take me 30 min on the treadsies to burn off. Before that too Joel and I got a sample from Wetzel's Pretzels right before we got our drinks!!

Joel wanted to try these donut balls from d'lush. I know i know especially because Andrew will probably read this and be like WTF why are you eating donut balls when you need to be on a serious CRASH DIET for Euro photoshoot 2008. I didn't eat anything all day so I was kind of hungry. Anyway, the lady at d'lush gave us a free sample of the VAVA balls! 1. They were fresh and so tasty!!! 2. Warm and chewy!! 3. So Joel and I decided to buy a dozen. When we got our cup of balls they weren't so fresh so we were kind of disappointed. =( Still they were good though but not at great as the sample ones.

Our VAVA Balls!!

Ok I don't know if you can really see in the picture above but there is a woman in a blue shirt. Joel and I were sitting up on these stools so we could see the entire food court. Anyway, the woman in blue was sitting with her boyfriend/husband and we were just watching his hand caressing her stomach underneath the table and kind of doing that hand movement I don't know if you guys remember when Diana Ross played with Lil' Kim's boob at the MTV Video Music Awards a few years ago? Well he was doing that to her stomach for awhile and I was pointing it out to Joel and grossing him out. After we finished our donuts and drinks we got our last sample of the day a cup of lemonade from Hot Dog on a Stick! We are barbarians!!! I know!!

I let all these free samples.......MAKE ME OVER!!

Cherub's Mom

OMG I was laughing because Andrew sent this to me.
