I cannot express how thrilled I am to not be in the office today. I know I should be grateful for every day of work because at any moment I could stay without one but I just honestly needed a break from the routine and from the people and the e-mails and the meetings.
I asked Aixah what she had planned for the day and her reply was, "casa de Ada." She wants to go to abuelitas house, of course. I want to go out too. Last night I asked Victor to take us out for breakfast in the am but it is now 12 in the afternoon and he is still in bed. Go figure that he was up all night playing with his new laptop. I'm OK with that because this means a littl bit of secret playtime with his computer (he doesn't want me using his computer :(). I like this laptop because it has a nicely-sized screen. I'm just salivating over editing photos on this screen, lol. Now only if my husband would be kind enough...sigh.
So this weekend we did the following:
Saturday-Took Aixah to the circus. Or as Aixah referred to it yesterday, "casa elephant" = house of the elephant. She loved it. Watched most of the show with an open mouth. Then Victor and I managed to have a date night. We went to the movies and we will not be going back to the Pavillion on Prospect Park. Our seats were broken as in they leaned all the way to the back like laying down on the other person's lap. And the theatre itself only had 50 seats and it was packed so the option of moving was unacceptable. Victor said that if he hadn't been in such a good mood he would've asked for his money back. I believe him because a few years back, at a theatre in Manhattan, the concession stands were all out of hotdogs. I don't know how everything worked out because I was waiting for Victor in my seat but next thing I know Victor comes back empty-handed and a few minutes later a staff member comes in with a tray of food. They delivered the food to our seats so that we wouldn't miss the movie, crazy, no?
Anyway, Sunday after KH we went to El Viejo Yayo and ate tostones. I've been craving tostones for the past week and half. We brought my grandmother with us and she remembered to bring her teeth. And she didn't do anything embarrassing like remove her teeth at the table, eew.
Today I think we're just laying low. I have to run now, Aixah is climbing the walls, literally.
