Failure

I've failed as a blogger lately. A lot of stuff has happened around here but I haven't had time to write it all down and share so why don't I summarize with this lovely list.

One

We got the apartment we were waiting for! We signed the lease thursday and I'm glad I won't be living in a cardboard box. Only problem is we have to be out of our current apartment by the 30th but will get new apartment by the 1st. Can't catch a break. Anywhoos, I've been told to stop stressing and that everything will work out. Here's to hoping.

Mexican Independence Day came and went. I wish it would last a week. A day is too short. I had a great time and surprisingly didn't get completely drunk like I normally do. Score! We went to a party being hosted by Mana at Mod Club. We got there quite early so it was a little boring at first but then of course the party picked up and by 12am people were drunk and singing with the Mariachis as they should.

I've started learning Italian. So far I've been doing well but haven't practiced in the last couple of days so I've probably forgotten most of what I learned. I'm hoping to get back into it once I've done the majority of packing.

 

México vs US!

I'm underway to watch the México vs US match for the World Cup qualifier. I can't wait to hear the Mexican national anthem. I get goosebumps every time! I wish our team all the best and hope they kick some American ass! All is fair in love and soccer. Buena Suerte México! Cheers! Didn't expect me to watch without any beer did ya?

Edit: The US has scored. I hate anything and everything American. This may be the beer and anger talking. 

Edit #2: The US has scored again. I'll keep quiet this time in fear of offending half the country.

It's Friday!

somewhere in the world. Oh no wait, think that's only used to drink before 12. Anywho, I failed to post this yesterday because the boyfriend took the laptop, that's his (whatever!), to watch a soccer match and I couldn't finish my post.

and you know what that means...Five on Friday time!

Finally applied for an apartment after what seemed like a decade of looking. It wasn’t my first choice but the location is great. Not that it matters because the boyfriend wants to go look at another apartment. Men! And they say women are indecisive.

Trying to get into the spirit of fall but it’s getting too cold in the mornings for me. Not even wearing a sweater keeps me warm enough.  I think I need to buy a coat. Yes, that’s what I need to do ;)

I love September because there are two special birthdays to celebrate and it’s Mexican Independence day on the 15^th. Any excuse to drink lots of corona and eat endless Mexican food is a plus on my calendar.

Four

September is “El Mes de Patria” or Patriotic month in Mexico because of Independence day. In honour of this date I’m going to start a Mexican Series. I will discuss various topics to do with Mexico hopefully educating others on our culture and distinguishing authenticity from stereotypes.

Five

I really want to go shopping. Right now. But with this first and last month’s rent fandango and bills piling up it’s become impossible.
