an interesting afternoon

I thought I had a couple more blog entries, but somehow they disappeared.

This afternoon was interesting for small reasons:
1—My zem down to the cyber, I noticed while discussing the price, had bright red finger and toe nails! There might have even been a fancy design on there too. And let me remind you that this was a young guy in his 20s probably.
2— I went to the cyber to copy down a recipe for lemon cake. Tomorrow (Wednesday March 3rd) is Mayo’s 4th birthday! And Angelina was on gchat, and I was telling her how we haven’t had a power outage for a while. And luck would have it that like 2 minutes later the power cut out!
3—So, since the power went out, I called up Dennis to find out what I needed for the cake. And I made my way down to the parc, aka little market. And in my search for lemons, I see this enormous mountain pile of fuzzy slippers! WTF? I literally stopped and stared for a minute.
Oh, the little things in life that make life interesting.

Last night I had a weird/stressful dream where I was back home and there was some kind of catastrophe and everyone was coming together, everyone was going home. Everyone was safe, but for some reason, Rosie was left in my dorm room, left all alone to fend for herself and there was no way I could go and fetch her. I think I am starting to feel guilty about leaving her here. I feel like she is going to spend the rest of her life waiting for me to come back. This makes me very sad. She has been an awesome companion for the last 11 months. Wow, I just realized that she is probably just about a year old! Happy birthday Rosie!

Speaking of birthdays, I already mentioned how it’s Mayo’s b-day tomorrow. He’s turning four! This past summer, when we became buddies, I kept asking him how old he was. And his response was “CI!” CI is the equivalent of kindergarten here. And the kids are supposed to start when they are five years old, but obviously some start earlier and some start later. It’s kinda the norm for everyone to lie about their age or simply not know it at all. So, I am finally glad to find out that my favorite little guy is four. As I said, I am making him a lemon cake. I hope that it turns out all right, and I hope that he likes it!
