I Feel So Lazy

I feel so lazy because I never post. I haven't blogged in a while, this is true. But I'm so flippin' busy...

Friday evening Dan, Jay & I had supper at the cantina just north of here on the PCH. It is such good Mexican food...REAL Mexican food. I had carnitas. After supper was all said and done, we headed back to school. I don't really know what Dan did this weekend but Jay and I went to our "casas". I went to Tio Mike's and Tia Nancy's. Jay went home.

I have my own room at Tio Mike's and Tia Nancy's. It is soooo pretty: it has yellow walls and this gorgeous wooden bed frame from Mexico with a Sun and a field of lillies and sunflowers carved and painted on the head-board. The curtains have three dimensional flowers on it and the whole room is just simply gorgeous.

I had a wonderful time with la familia. On Saturday we went to Tia's brother and sister in law's house with all her family. You know you are Mexican when extended family includes the family of your aunts and uncles by marriage...I love it. There can never be too much family. I also got to watch Sleeping Beauty and Mulan this weekend - I have a strange obsession with Disney movies.

I bought my own Martinelli's Apple Juice this weekend...no longer shall I depend on Jay for my apple juice fix. In addition, I was able to procure those that come in the original glass jars. I gave Jay half: they don't make them in the glass jars anymore so WICKED is all I have to say.

Last night I tutored Gina in Spanish. I guess I forgot to mention that huh? Gina is the daughter of Lorraine G., Dean Saxer's assistant. I have started tutoring her in Spanish. It's a double bonus for me because now I don't have to spend extra time to do my own Spanish grammar everyday now, plus I get paid ($40.00 an hour...nice).

Jay showed his movie this weekend at La Sierra's homecoming: he said it went over really well. I'm really really proud of him. He has done such a good job doing all that stuff even while we are in school. He worked so hard on that movie and I'm glad it went over so well for him.

This week will be a busy week for us. Tomorrow is Project Uganda for IJM. We also have a midterm on Wednesday, and one on Friday. In addition, we have the ABA conference this weekend. Plus, we have a midterm next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Sigh.

I am exhausted but I do this for Justice.

Victims of child sex trafficking don't want to hear how tired I am. They want to see me at their front door with that arrest warrant and the sense of safety only justice can provide them.
