Labor Day

Today, Josue saw me laying out on my hammock and was walking around waiting for Nadia to get home so he stopped by. I put him to work by having him help me carry my laundry to be cleaned, by having him walk with me to the hardware store and then replace an outlet that I had broken. Later, Nadia and Josue invited me to come with them while Nadia used a groupon for her restaurant. On the way, I saw that we were passing the clay store that I would need to make a special trip for tomorrow, so I had them stop and had Josue help me carry two bags of clay I had borrowed.

We arrived at the restaurant and Josue and Nadia got out. Josue, instead of pulling the seat to let me out said in a straight voice, "Eden...quieres que abro la ventana o asi no mas?"
Translation: Eden, So you want me to open the window or just leave it as is when you wait in the car?

I deserved that for making him do so much extra work :) But he did pay for my meal in the end.

Pick up line of the week

Melina and I are walking down the street. From the corner, a guy standing with his younger friend yells for him, "Se llama Alejandro y esta de moda!" My translation: "His name is Alejandro and he's hot on the market!"
