Happy New Year

It’s been so long since I’ve written.  Please don’t think I’ve forgotten you, it’s just that life has been so full of… things lately, change, movement, all kinds of activity.  My aunt visited during the New Year and we had a tranquil beginning to 2009 (2009!) on the balcony of her rented apartment, along with a new friend of ours.  Homemade dinner, wine, champagne, chocolate, fireworks.  Very nice.

I had a great time dancing at the milonga hosted by Luis in La Leonesa on Friday night.  I don’t go very often but it was so much fun to start my tango year with some of my favorites, in a favorite black dress.

What else… oh, I’m enjoying getting to know my roommates who moved in about a month ago.  They are very nice people, a couple from Washington, D.C. and they love to cook as much as I do, if not more.  They make spicy food.  We’ll get along well.

I’ll resume my blogging habits shortly, but I at least wanted to get something written today.

Bueno, I will leave you here for now… Thanks for sticking around, if anybody is still there…

UPDATE: Please forgive any misspellings you might see – I’ve just come out of some food poisoning as well and am not totally “here” in terms of writing.  I’ve made corrections so if you’re reading this from a feed, please come to the actual blog to see that I really do know how to spell!
