one of my favs!

My favorite coffee chain in Curry Land...mainly because they sell Lattes that are bigger than your head :)

cheap router = CRAP!

I don't think the router will last as long as Z predicted...I might just accidentally drop it down the stairs. 'Why?' you may ask...well I have to hit the refresh page button 8 times for a website to load properly. I wonder if 'owner fits of rage' are covered under the warranty...

weekend pants

• this glorious Friday I awoke to an incoming text message that my language class was canceled...amazing!
• in light of canceled class I made lunch plans with a friend...we ate pizza, veggies, bread sticks, and jello no bake cheese cake that someone sent my friend from America...bless you dear one who sent my friend jello no bake cheese cake!
• all day I wore my newest comfy pair of pants...I am sure they look frumpy since they are 2XL...but I have made up my mind, they are my official weekend pants.

paparazzied!

So sometimes when I am in public and encounter the before mentioned weirdos they try to take my picture. They are not really discreet about it, they point their cell phone cameras 3ft away from my FACE...which I block their attempts with my hand and then Z gets in between them and me. So photo op attempts are foiled every time.
On Monday Z and I went to McD's to eat lunch. The place was packed with high school and college students on summer break with no where to go and nothing to do...this combination always spells trouble no matter what country you are in. Anyways I was sitting at our table and Z was waiting at the counter to get our food...meanwhile one young lady stood beside Z while her friend tried to capture the Kodak moment of the two of them together. Z caught on pretty quick to what was going down and quickly turned and walked away. The girls were disappointed. And I thought it was hysterical...mainly because now I am not the only one getting paparazzied.

proof

Don't be fooled by the beard and the tough guy exterior... Z is a softy...

36 hours with NO internet...

This weekend our wireless router fried! I did not know such a thing could happen. Our Internet company replaced the fried one with an even cheaper model. I did not know routers got any cheaper than the previous one. Z is predicting the new router will last 2 months.

Weirdo magnet...

That is what Z calls me b/c I encounter a lot of weirdos...Fortunately I also have an ingrain defense to the weirdo magnet which is the weirdo radar. When weirdos come up to me, which they always do, my weirdo radar goes off and I can evade the situation before it gets weirder. Curry land is full of the I want pretty women to notice me weirdos. They are not harmful, they are just socially weird but there is a very large population of them. Here is an account of a weirdo encounter that I had this week: I was shopping for new clothes for Z. He was in the dressing room and I was looking though the shelf of size 44 shirts...it is not a big shelf because most men are not Z's size...we both kind of stand out as giants. Anyways a young punk came and stood right next to me while I was looking through the shirts...it was very unnerving and my weirdo magnet instantly went off so I scurried away, while I was leaving the guy said "I was just waiting for you to finish looking on the shelf." (one tip about weirdos: they like to generate conversation, they are lonely) I wanted to snap back rudely at him and say "Your size is a 4o and its over there shrimpy!" But instead I rejoined my giant husband and then he was the one to scurry off. Large intimidating husband is my second defense...thank you Z!
