Some Days are just NOT your Days

As of today I only have three more weeks here in Mexico. I do find this quite sad. Up to this point I had had many points where I said to myself "its time for me to just go home" and now... now that its coming soon, well its hard to explain all that goes on in my head and heart, but I am doing my best to soak up every last moment I have here in Mexico.

The title for this update comes from a few blond moments I have had recently that my family and I have had good laughs over since then. On Tuesday night during the English group we host, I did make quite a fool of myself (and I just taught them the word fool too!). We started a little late that night becasue my family's cousin was staying and he is a priest in the Angelican church so he was involved in a discusion on the issues that denomination is faced with at present with my brother Enrique and friend Miguel. Once everyone had arrived we brought in the television as its usually in my mother's room, but obviously we won't all crowd in there with her to watch the Jesus film. Along with the televison comes the DVD player and two remotes, one for the TV and one for the DVD. So I'm sitting next to my host brother and getting everything ready to go, but can't find the DVD remote... now I have the TV one in my hand so I turn to Enrique and say "where is the other one?" well holding up the TV remote to show him what I am asking about. He looks at me with a blank look and so with my right hand wave the remote a little more to try and get him to focus on the question. He asks me "the other one what?" Flustered and annoyed I reply "the other CONTROL" while leaving out the DUH that I wanted to add in there (now you all know what I'm like when I feel I am being misunderstood). Enrique replied only by looking down at my left hand. So I too followed his gaze and sure enough there it was. The DVD remote firmly grasped in my left hand. It sure is a good thing I can laugh at myself as the whole group quite enjoyed that one for awhile. Oops. I taught them the meaning of "blond moments" afterwards.

Now I know I made reference to a "few" blond moments, but now for the life of me I can't remember what exactly else occured, only that indeed there were other moments. Maybe I blocked them out... :)

I have added another six photos to my flickr account. These ones are from my host sister, Erika's wedding. I was a "dama" or a bride's maid this is why I have a red dress too like the other ladies. You can see these by clicking on this link:
