No Vacancy

Sincerest apologies for my absence. I don't even have a great reason for denying you regular insight to my impossibly exciting life. There has been lots of fun stuff going on but some not fun stuff (i.e. work) has kept me from sharing with you! I have been to the country, to the races (hopefully more on this later) and have transformed my 1 bedroom apt. into a boarding house of sorts.

My cousin Jenn is staying with me for two weeks while she works as my intern (that's right, not only am i NOT an intern...i HAVE an intern). She has been assiduously checking things of my to-do list at work while I made long overdue hair and doctor's appointments and tend to some vacation planning for 2010. If it weren't for the living arrangements I'd wish she could stay indefinitely...I am sure a solid internship such as this one would more than compensate for her not finishing high school. As for that living situation: COZY. I live in a one bedroom apartment which feels big enough for Rafa and me about 60% of the time. That percentage tends toward zero with an extra guest. We have inflated a queen sized air mattress in the middle of the living room which has turned that area into a quasi-moonbounce. This makes maneuvering in the space challenging but Rafa LOVES birthday-party feel of both the moonbounce and the slumber party guest (more faces to lick in the morning).

All in all, I think the experience is going to be a good one for all involved but it is very time consuming having to entertain a 17 year old so bear with me for the next week!!
