SPAIN here i comeeeee!

today i am off for SPAIN for a little vacay!! clearly if you read this blog or if you know me, you know that i am completely obsessed with spain and lived there two years ago (omg sad) for a year teaching english! so needless to say.....IM SO EXCITED!! HOWEVER, there is a little bit of betting going on regarding my trip that i want to share with you all. the big issue: JAMON! jamon is spanish ham and it comes on a big pigs leg that is either hanging in bars, on ppls kitchen counters, or in my suitcase..wait..anyway i was a littttttttle obsessed with it when i lived there and may or may not have craved it A LOT when i get back. if you dont know what jamon is or have forgotten how delicious and appetizing it looks...click HERE for a little refresher. :) yum...right?? haha i know, it looks sick...but trust me, so good. ANYWAY...i have been a vegetarian (still eat fish for those of you who are picky about titles) for about a year now so clearly there has been no jamon or any other meat for me for a while now. but i also havent been back to spain since the end of my meat eating days.......sooooooo some of my friends and my whole entire family think i will crack as soon as i smell the sweet aroma of the delectable ham or see the large inviting pigs leg or just due to the fact that its in almost everything there and i wont be able to resist and i will give up on my vegetarian ways and take a leg to the face. eulp. BUT they are obvi wrong...that is def not gonna happen....is it....im so over it....arent i....AHH! this will be a true test of wills ppl. WISH ME LUCK! i will let you know how i fare :)

see ya after spain!!

im baaaaaaaack

IM BACK from Argentina! It was the best trip ever! Love Buenos Aires, loved speaking spanish, and of course seeing my best friend! Sorry I have been MIA...but there was no time to blog there and ive been crazy since coming back. ANYWAY...here is one quick story for ya:

so i am getting on the plane to go back to the US and we are all geared up, captains put on the fasten seat belt sign, the flight attendants are supposed to "prepare for take off", when all of a sudden i hear screaming like in this high pitched grandma voice...SIIIIIIIR SIIIIIIIIIIR WHERES YOUR SEAT?!?! SIR, YOUR SEAT! WHERE IS IT??? SIIIIIR (literally the highest pitched sound you have ever heard, voice of panic and confusion, coming from a grandma flight attendant straight from a saturday night live skit). then i hear a mans voice (in spanish) all business...sit down sir. you must find your seat sir. sit down. then he lunges forward and SHOVES the guy down the aisle. not a helpful guide, not a little pat...he straight pushed him down the aisle. then the guy finally comes into view...almost falling down the aisle after being pushed so hard (the plane is starting to take off at this point) and he is clutching a pile of clothes that he apparently was changing out of while in the bathroom and he looked SO CONFUSED and SO SCARED...he was like hobbling down the aisle looking for his seat and ducking like he was under attack with a look of utter confusion while the two flight attendants just keep yelling. he fiiiiiiiinally found his seat all the way in the FRONT of the plane and then all was well. it was seriously the weirdest and funniest take off experience ive ever had! nothing like a little excitement to start a flight! haha!
