Second Semester of Spanish Love Song!

I didn't know there was a part two!

Hot

I actually had to turn the fan on today. YAY! We're going to try and hit one of the beaches before the summer is out. I hear the Cape has pretty beaches. But considering im a Puerto Rican that has spent a lot of time playing in the Gulf of Mexico (and lets not forget my spring break on some secluded nude beaches in New Zealand) i don't know if i'm going to be terribly impressed. We'll see!

I went to a wedding in Texas

My tan lines are awesome.

Summer? What Summer?

Where did you go Summer? We're halfway through July and i have yet to go through a day where i complain that its too hot. Last year i nearly roasted alive in my attic room and had to keep my air conditioner on every afternoon. This new place is either really good at staying cool or the weather just hasn't been up to high temperatures yet. It feels like what Spring should have been like. Except that Spring saw me still wearing long underwear and a coat. You shouldn't have to wear long underwear in May. Its kind of ridiculous.

Salem

I was supposed to catch a train and meet a couple of people for some board gaming action. But unfortunately i made it to the station just as my train was leaving! Grr. So i called Cheo, woke him up at noon that slug, and told him to meet me at the train station. When he arrived we bought tickets on the next train leaving and ended up at Salem. Good times. We followed the lines painted on the ground and ended up at the docks. Managed to scare Cheo a few times by threatening to go visit the official witch of Salem. He wouldn't let me go into the shop. So we bought some witch's brew and wandered out to the lighthouse. I wanted to get out of town before the sun went down but by the time our train arrived we were still several miles away from it. So we detoured and managed to catch a boat back to Boston.

Scary

Scariest thing i have done in a long time? Driving through Boston. I rented a car and loaded it up with my stuff before we moved into our new place. By the end of the trip Cheo was sweating heavily and Cory was paler than usual. I even gave myself a stomachache. Thankfully we got through it all alive.

We are boring

Cheo and I are boring. This weekend we both became very excited by some coupons we found. 88 cents for pasta! And other things. So we went shopping. We also ended up at the farmer's market where Cheo was lured into the grape stalls by a fast talking Sicilian. He called me bella and said i could taste the grapes before buying. They were good grapes. We bought 5lbs. Cheo ended up freezing a pound of the green ones and we stuck the rest of the green and all of the purple ones into a bowl for snacking. We also scored some massive plums and grapefruits. Mmm fruit.

Hooray

We did it! Cheo and i have finally and successfully moved into the apartment. The place is pretty darn awesome. Mom and dad were supposed to come up on July 1st in the wee hours of the morning but they were so excited that they started driving the evening before and ended up in Boston at around 7am. Cheo, Cory, and I were camped out on the floor of our empty living room waiting for those crazy people who drove in and immediately started unpacking boxes and unloading everything. Within 3 days we had a shiny new living space, a fully stocked kitchen courtesy of my madrina Marilynn, and a ridiculously nice entertainment center with Abuelo's tv front and center. Seriously. All great.

And yesterday we got our cable and internet installed which was all that was left to make the place feel like home.
