Good morning and Happy Monday! I am writing to you in real time, meaning it’s Monday morning and I am coming down from one of those Really Good Weekend Highs. It was the perfect blend of friend time, Luis time, exercise time (I need it to stay sane), and a lot of food. I’m already […]
Long Weekend
Hi friends! Comin’ at ya a little late this week since I feel like I have been running around with my head cut off! “Why do you feel like that Tamara? You barely even work!”. Yes, that is true, but I have a lot of things I do that I don’t get paid for that keep […]
Hello From MADRID!
Hello from Madrid!!! If you haven´t figured it out from the title of this post, then I will tell you now: I am in MADRID! That’s right, I am here earlier than anticipated (I wasn’t supposed to arrive until tomorrow morning), but the stars completely aligned (seriously, I don’t know how I got so lucky) […]
A Weekend in Madrid in August
Hey there! I’m a little sad that it’s already Monday, but that’s only because this weekend was quite good- the classic weekend in Madrid in August. It was the perfect blend of seeing friends, doing fun things, working out, and getting stuff done. As soon as this post gets published, I’m actually going to be […]
Hiking and Movies and Swimming – Weekend
I am currently writing this post while waiting in a huge line at the bank and there are only two people working. I opened this account 3 years ago, and have never had problems, but recently they closed ALL branches except for one so there is constantly a line and a lot of angry spaniards. […]

The Weekend and Other Things
Hi friends (and fam!) Long time no talk! Like I said in my last post, I have a new job that, while it isn’t all that hard, it keeps me out for much of the day and then when I get home, I have a ton of thigs to catch up on. Plus, I have […]
Bagels, Beer, Dancing, and More
Wow, what a weekend! I know I am writing this on Tuesday, but I just couldn’t get it together yesterday to write so here I am, sharing a day late. Anyway, hello friends! How was your weekend? It’s weirdly cold here in a Madrid (WHYYYYY!!!!), but I still had a super good weekend. Lots of […]
Memorial Day Weekend in Madrid
Hello friends! Happy Tuesday to you! I hope you had a nice Memorial Day weekend with family and friends, and I hope you were able to eat copious amounts of hamburgers, hotdogs and grilled corn. I, on the other hand, didn’t really do anything to celebrate Memorial Day in Madrid… except host a Memorial Day […]
Madrid Open and Other Weekend Things
Hello, hello! Happy, happy Tuesday! (But not really…is it just me or is this week DRAGGING? It should be at least Thursday by now!). But anyway, enough about the week and let’s back up to the weekend. This weekend was strange in that I spent a lot of it alone, but I also did a […]
