BEHIND ON EVERYTHING.
DISORGANIZED ME.
"PRIMADA".
WEEK 40O, I mean 40. Here I go again ...once more...
behind on my weekly post...UGH! This time I am 3 weeks behind!! But
being the stubborn woman that I am, I will rattle my brains and try to remember
as best I can this week's events. You know, I wonder...when will I learn to write
down notes as the days pass? It would make my life so much easier! But...I am
stubbornly disorganized.
Lucky for me, I had no problems remembering the first day of my 40th week.
After all it was November 25th...the 4th Thursday of the month! Yeap, you
guessed it...Thanksgiving. Two days later I promised a post...Thanksgiving post
coming soon. Ha...coming soon! Nineteen days later...I wrote about
our Thanksgiving...although it wasn't all disorganization on my part, I was
waiting on photos from Alex and Lacy's Thanksgiving, and their computer was
messed up..I HAD to wait, because I wanted them so bad! SO...how was it?
Well ...you can read, Promised Thanksgiving Post...so what if I am running
late?, and find out.
While waiting on those photos...I started writing a special post, since 40 has
always been a historically important number, on my reflections on these weeks
since Pepe left. I had very little time...and was not feeling well, It took me
FOREVER to finish. Honestly, I was so frustrated while writing it that I almost
deleted it, and was going on to simpler...fun posts. BUT...my stubbornness kicked
in again, and I kept writing...and finally finished it. Today I am very happy with the
results: WEEK 40...Finding ME.
Hmmmm....what else happened? I can't remember!!
Allow me to rattle my brain a little bit more...
O.K. Sometime during this week I saw my sister, Cary, calling all the cousins to
the yearly "PRIMADA". Cary has a blast organizing this event...Here is a photo of
her and my nephew, Alex, during last year's primada.
Oh! I haven't really explained what a "primada" is. Well...In Spain, it is traditional
for all the cousins in a family, in this case...the ARAGON's, to get
together around Christmas time for a fun evening. When I see my sister
Cary, organizing it on Facebook I anxiously wait for the photos...
I love seeing the cousins having so much fun...
There is singing...
there is dancing...
And....LoTs AND loTS OF LauGhTer!!
Rattle ....rattle...RATTLE...aha!!!
During this week also...I saw a different kind of cousinly gathering in
Facebook, and I just had to do a post on it!
The photos were just too good to pass!! I wrote You gotta have balls...
And last but not least....that same day, December 1st,
my grandson, Gabriel, inspired me to write another post...
BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE! Oh, how I love my little rambunctious
Gabriel!! He is so much fun!! With this post I ended the week,
which for me as you know goes from Thursday through Wednesday.
OH, and one more thing came to mind...Christopher, my son, invited me
over for a special lunch, roasted leg of lamb, and a movie! That would be a
great way to start WEEK 41. I loved his text message asking me on how
to cook the lamb...movies and cooking...seem to alway connect us!
And now I can't rattle my brain anymore remembering week 40's events...
I MUST go on to WEEK 41 and 42, before I reach WEEK 43!!
