Hello from Madrid! I’ve been away for the last month or so – traveling with my parents and then Luis and I went to the beach for 3 days because I wasn’t ready to go back to reality. I’m still not ready so I am taking today (sunday) nice and easy – cleaned the house, […]
A Night in Avila (with an Accent on the A) and Like Two Pictures from Malaga
Look at me! Coming back in less than 6 months with another fresh post! Actually that’s probably a bad sign, a sign that I am pretty much guaranteed to disappear for the next 8 months after this goes live. I guess you (and I) will find out! So, like I said, besides our two trips […]
4 Months, 2 Trips, and Everything In Between
I am officially *on vacation* so now I have time to update on the last 5 (?) or so months that I have disappeared from here. I can’t tell you what happened in March, or April, or May, but going as far back as June, I can tell you that we went on two great […]
A Quick Trip to Sierra Nevada
Luis and I usually have our weekends wide open (besides work) and that was the case last week when my friend Emma wrote to me asking if we would like to join her + boyfriend at their place for the weekend in Sierra Nevada. Sierra Nevada is a 5+ hour drive from Madrid so normally […]
Pictures of People
I had a special request to update here once in awhile and while I am sitting here at Mazál II waiting for an event to start in 30 minutes, I figure I can just update with some pictures of people. If it’s not pictures of people, it’s pictures of food and bagels and broken stuff […]
A Four Day Jaunt in Tel Aviv
I may or may not had to look up the word ‘jaunt’ to make sure I hadn’t invented it out of nowhere. I’m writing this post from Malaga, drinking a coffee and generally hiding out from the mega clean up that is happening due to an ant infestation in the kitchen. Luis’ Mom is on […]
Other Lately
I wrote one post and now I feel the “writer’s high”. Oh wait, that’s not a thing, it’s runner’s high. As soon as I get this posted I will go out to get high that way. I feel like so much of my life is consumed by Mazál, but not just consumed by Mazál but […]
A Week With Cousins and Bro in Madrid
Well hello there, happy Saturday! I am usually able to sleep 12-13 hours over the weekend and then wake up feeling like garbage because I overslept so this morning when I naturally woke up at 8:30, I washed my face with cold water and then walked as far away from the bed as possible. I’m […]
Waiting
Hello there! Long time no see / chat / write. I always think about writing and then I get this big mental hump that feels impossible to overcome so then I just don’t write anything. It is 11:12am on Tuesday and I will give myself 8 minutes to write whatever. I woke up this morning […]
Not Falling Off the Bandwagon
It’s a slippery slope to stop posting. A few days quickly turns into a few weeks and then the idea of posting anything seems so insurmountable that I just don’t post anything. Then those weeks turn into months…. So here we are. I am writing from “my office”. It’s 1:48pm on Monday March 13th and […]
