Nicknames and Things

THINGS:

“Aqui, no puedes adelgazar” (Here you can’t lose wait.) You said it grandma.  – Amuma Julita.

“Lo que no te mata, endordada.” – You’re right there Spain.

They call me dormilora. Cause when I have the chance to sleep, I do.

My nicknames: Eríca. Kika. Eri (Eddy). Culo gordo. Tetas gordas. Dormilora. Comidora. Wapa.

What they taught me in Spanish class: Adios!
What it really is. “Vale, venga, hasta luego, agur!”
….That could have made my word-count-conversations sooo much easier.

I don’t and will not ever understand why at 1-2 in the morning when I am bed trying to sleep, I have to put my earplugs in to drown out the sounds of the children loudly playing outside. Whaaaa??

The day when I decide to put my baby blanket it the basket for the maid to wash. And later in the day when Joseba is taking dry clothes off the rack I swipe it and he says, "that's yours?"....ohhhh que beruenza".

It’s been a surprisingly very humbling experience. You feel very very small when you realize how big the world is. But overall it’s been a crazy adventure.
