gift shows, family, haiti oh my!

So being in Seattle has been hectic so far! I was a little bum till last thursday due to getting acquianted (spell check??) and waiting for my desk and computer set up at my office job. I went and bought homey stuff to get settled into my new area. I have really loved it out here. I’m still trying to get used to the weather but its actually not that bad and the sun has come up a little. This weekend some of my other cousins kids came and it was nice. We went to a gift show which is the ultimate for shoppers. All I bought was a necklace that I hand picked all the little charms and they put it together for me. We still haven’t tried making menudo but when we do I want to post pictures and such. I’m pretty sure it will be funny ! I miss home but I like it here. One of my uncles is very sick so its hard to be away when everyone is worrying about him.
So I’m sure someone has heard that another survivor in haiti has been found in the rubble yesterday. They don’t know if he is from the initial quake or an aftershock. All of that is very sad and when I watch the news I have to look away sometimes. I bought a shirt that will give proceeds to haiti but I feel like I should do more. One of my cousins will be down there in about a week to help clean up. Its horrible to hear people on the news talk about their family members that are still missing. So here’s to a prayer in haiti.

2 days in …

Soooo i’ve been in town for two whole days now …

Fun!  I love it so far.  I’ve already visited downtown.  I ate the ‘best’ teriyaki! and it was yuuum.  Today I had lunch at the posh Boka downtown.  Had the Salmon Tacos and it was delish.  Today I finished unpacking and realized I brought so mch but not nearly enough haha.

My cousin and I are attempting to make Menudo on Saturday Night for Sunday morning and I hope to post about it, wish me luck.

harlingen airport blues ….

Today, I fly out to Seattle. But i’ve been in Harlingen since 11 am and my flight was pushed back to 5pm! I’m just so tired. I packed all my life within the 10 hours before I was scheduled for take off. I haven’t slept and I can’t sleep on this plane because it is only an hour long. I plan to sleep on the plane from Houston to Seattle. I am taking a Benadryl and knocking out Hello Seattle!
