Pix, did you get my text earlier?

Paste: Rowling's reasoning for joining the British Society of Weights and Measures.

I made up for not spending hardly anything at the outlets yesterday by spending a ton of money at Target.

Then I went to the grocery store...and then I rented "Tomorrow When the War Began" from RedBox. Except I realized I have lots of TV to watch tonight (Amazing Race, Good Wife), and tomorrow I have a class in the evening. Hmm.

Oh crap, meara. Yes, I did and completely forgot to respond. Will remedy that shortly.

Ha. This should surprise no one. My paste:

¡VAMOS GIGANTES!

No paste buffer here. In marked contrast to yesterday, I have gotten nothing done except reading part of a library book and taking an afternoon nap.

Well, it is almost 6 here and I only woke fully up maybe twice since 11:30 or so last night, so I'm calling that a wind. Though I really doubt spanish cafes, even the brands like Starbucks or DD will be open by 7. You never know. Won't be headed until the side until after 8 sometime.

Oh, and the procession was referred to as a funeral by the locals. Which did surprise me. I should google. Maybe it is a mix in this part of Spain?

I have been getting really good fruit. Just not enough compared with the bread, meat and cheese. I purposely ordered several tapas last night simply because they had uncooked tomatoes in 'em. And they were good...

Ha! The earliest I found ANYTHING open near where I stayed in Barcelona was 9, and it was pretty dead until 10 or even later. I covet the Spanish time schedule. I so love that country. So happy for you, sarameg.

Aw, thanks for saying, Hec. I appreciate it.

It was on point, it was specific, and you're obviously referring back to things that you're teaching in class.

OK, first thing in the morning, even my meager spanish comprehension is shot. And the guy at the one open cafe talked really fast. What's amusing is that my english is suffering too. I keep throwing in random foreign words, sometimes spanish, sometimes not. And I keep saying Dobry den (czech) instead of Buenos dias. I don't even.

Meet up is at 8. Gotta get my work brain one.

Wearing my one pair of heels and the funny thing is they feel more comfortable than the other 3 pairs I've been wearing the past 2 days. Shoe fatigue.

See y'all later!

Paste buffer: Why aren't there vegetables?

I'm glad you're having fun and adjusting to the time, sarameg!

I went to the outlet mall in the Valley and also bought nothing. There was one pair of cargo pants I liked and would have bought if they were black, but they were green. It was a huge outlet mall, too, but lots of empty storefronts. Wonder if the economy is taking a disproportionate hit on outlets because they lower prices at the retails instead?

I miss ita !. I hope her Sunday treatment goes/went well. I know it's important for her to be aable to take time for herself, but I do miss her here.
