Picnic Con Mis Compañeros De Trabajo

El 15o. Festival Anual de Langostas en Maryland es todos los años, courtesia de PMA. Inolvidables crustáceos, a los que Liz describió como "ferocious meal." Me chorreaban las manos del jugo de la langosta y la salsita de ajo. El elotote todo envuelto en tusa le añadio bastante drama al look del plato, lo que me recordo de mis raices Pipiles.

Lo mas importante quizas de este evento fue el concurso de karaoke. Liz nos hizo reunirnos, a Ashley y a mi, para ensayar la cancion, y decidir la coreografía. Escogimos "Tainted Love" y la ensayamos arduamente. A las chicas les daba risa que yo cantara mis partes tan mal y un poco desafinada, y a mi que me encanta la atención. Pero, ay! que dolor, y que sorpresa! Cuando llegamos al lugar del concurso, no tenian la cancion, asi que nos acabamos la bateria de mi telefono escuchando "Love Shack" varias veces. A mi me tocó la parte del cantante ronco y dramático, y lo super enfatizé. Nuestros jefes estaban doblados de la risa, y el público fué muy amable.

Camino a casa me tocó manejar, ya que los compañeritos degustaron de los varios sabores de cerveza y otros licorcitos disponibles en el picnic.

Ahora estoy haciendo mis planes de cuánto ejercicio voy a hacer....

good morning life...

Well, things seem to be Austentifying themselves in my life. I cannot say on their own, but certainly by a mixture of good effort on my part, motivation from family and friends, and prayers of those who pray (chiflín). Sure there are some unusual smaller molestias, but they really seem small when the basic needs of family, church, and industry begin to work out normally.

I could easily say, "Hey, I always knew they would work out," but I don't know that I did. At the very least I told myself everyday they would work out, even if sometimes, I would open my eyes in the morning and my raised heart rate didn't seem to believe it. I reaffirmed my good hopes it in my morning prayers: I know things can and will work out for the best.

Anne

Who Am I? Who is Jane?

I just took the which Jane Austen character Are You? and I got this result:

Take the Quiz here!

Thanks to Michelle Moore's blog for the link.

Now, I don't know if it's a flattering thing to be considered Anne-like in this earth, but the options were kinda limited by the quiz: main characters only. If I could describe myself, and risking the appearance of pride, I think I am a mixture of:

Anne from Persuasion,
Mary Crawford from Mansfield Park,
Lucy Steele from Sense and Sensibility, and
Ann of Green Gables

I do think that Michelle Moore is quite like Elinor, and even if we put a hat on her and gave her a certain hairdo she'd likely resemble Emma Thompson!

"Fix You"

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I...

Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I...

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
