the little kitties have all passed on to the great beyond, which was sad for about a day, but now i have my life back. the best part was that the day the second-to-last kitty died, i had to borrow the el farito key from carolina, jasmina, and doña juana's next door. i said hello to their little kitty "missyfoo" as i always do, and carolina told me that her mom wanted me to have her because i love her so much and they are getting a new kitty soon and can't take care of two. i got pretty excited and called my mom to ask if i could get her some shots and fly her home with me for christmas (ridiculous, i know, but i was emotionally raw on the subject of kitties). she reminded me that our cat mr. lucky does not do well with company and that it would just be a disaster. plus i'm allergic. oh well.
marcela has photoshopped a killer christmas card for us to hand out to our friends in the community before we leave. see below:
this week, we are drilling our little creative arts students on the songs they have learned and the countries we have studied in preparation for our holiday performance this thursday evening. after that we'll clean out some closets and do a little traveling before heading home for the holidays.
i tried to make cookies here once, but it turned out more like a giant sheet of oatmeal cookie. today, i am attempting sugar cookies rolled in walnuts. wish i had some holiday cutters. maybe i'll exacto-knife some candy canes and snowmen into existence.
in other news, my laundry still sort of smells like mildew. all i want for christmas is a dryer.
