"Ay Diosss..."

Man, it has been a looong time. My trip home was busy and was over before I knew it. I forgot to bring lots of things, like Pam spray! And Ghirardelli brownie mix and chocolate chip cookie mix. And a big jug of olive oil (or some other healthier cooking oil). Is soy oil better than vegetable or canola oil? Monday, I found a scorpion in my kitchen. I don't think I'll ever see one again, but I was totally freaked out. I killed it with Raid, and the little neighbor boy came over and broke off the stinger and carried the animal outside in his bare hands! My kitchen smelled like Raid for days. I'm going to get a baby bunny. I have to find a cage. I am already busy with work, but I'm good. I'm excited for the new school year, but it's going to have to go a lot better than last year for me to feel accomplished at the end of my service. I taught my counterpart's daughter an indian dance routine and her aunt wants to see if she can do it on some local tv channel. I bought a new camera battery in the states, so now I have a working camera, so I can finally take and post pictures of my house! Sorry I don't have those for you just yet. I'm thinking I want to do some project with Luis, too. He has the Spanish and the people skills, I have access to funds, he would have an idea about the best thing to do. That would be awesome. Hmmm...so much organizing to do in my brain ALWAYS. I'm going to a party in the streets tonight and the admission is 100 cordobas. It better be good.
