Viva España!

I haven´t been around for a while because I´ve been busy fighting off computer viruses, hiding behind pillows while watching American Horror Story (do not watch that show if you want to stay sane, and never ever say the words "Piggy, piggy" in front of a mirror), trying to learn how to drive a car again, returning to bikram yoga hell after a very long break, and that´s pretty much it. Most importantly though, I spent Saturday morning looking at this delicious plate of Spanish yumminess. Madre mía. Speaking of jamón, Almodovar was screening his new movie at USC Friday evening, but we didn´t risk standing in line without getting in. Maybe we should have.

It's the thought that counts

So, P just came home. He's smiling at me and hiding something behind his back, saying: I got you something! All excited, thoughts speed through my mind: a new pair of shoes? A camera? A cashmere sweater? All of Patricia Highsmiths books? A baby? Thriumphantly, he reaches out his left hand, slowly opens it while looking expectantly up at me, and reveals...

A toy car!

"We had a meeting with Mattel today, and could choose any car we wanted! They also had the fancy ones, but I figured you'd  like a Volkswagen". Let's just hope he wouldn't use the same reasoning if he were to choose a real car for me.

No, really. Thanks so much! I love you!

Presentos!

Someone I know (you're probably reading this, not spoiling the surprise) is getting all of the contents in this bag. Yup!! And it's all pretty cute if I can say so myself. I literally couldn't stop buying things. I put some stuff on the counter, was about to drag my card, spotted something in the back of the store, told the girl to wait, came back with more stuff... repeat, repeat, repeat. So, I ended up with a bit more than I had planned. But since it's not for me, I just feel good about myself:)
