This morning I slept in until about as usual, since there are no classes on Friday. I lazed around all morning until lunch which was the most...different and unique...yet. The rice and tomatoes were great, but the mystery meat balls/rolled up balls of foreign origin were questionable. Anyhow, it was pretty good. Sometimes its better to think about the helado/icecream at the end of the road. Priscilla LOVES ice cream so we eat it every day after almuerzo/lunch.
Priscilla went shopping after lunch and took Balty to school, so I had a while to enjoy being home alone. I got to Skype with a much-missed friend online-which made my week- and then I was pleasantly surprised by Lauren's invite to go on an adventure, so before I knew it I was out the door- headphones in, cardigan on, and Metro bound. I made it to Lauren's after a pit-stop for a coke (diet pepsi, ugh) where we watched part of a movie and had a good time analyzing her American housemate, Liz. Such a funny girl, she is.
We ventured out into Vina with the hopes of finding a festival that we had heard about...but the plaza was festival-free. We walked around a bit, slightly disappointed, but headed towards the mall to buy supplies for my gift to Priscilla. Tomorrow is the day...
I will be attending a baby shower in Chile. I don't know what it is...but showers kind of freak me out. I guess I'll be overcoming that fear tomorrow.
After browsing through the cute baby section at Lider, wishing we could buy every article of clothing at the ever so fashionable Zara, and replenishing our bodies with a fresh batch of salty Burger King fries, we successfully encouraged Jemima, Nicole, and Corie to meet at Diego Pizza for a low-key girls night. It was very fun, Lauren and I found a GOOD pizza (called Gringo, lol), and after several glasses of wine for Jemima, several loud laughs from Nicole, an infinite number of glances and stares from fellow pizza-lovers at Diego's...we left and went to Bravissimo for the most delicious gelato known to man. I love that crema frambuesa.
So that was a great adventure. I made it home around 11 where I found Balty (funny story ahead) playing video games and Valentina, the babysitter/Priscilla's sister, sleeping.
The time was right to start my project! It's not easy, making a diaper cake
1)in poor lighting
2)on a bed
3)with just two hands
4)without making a sound
5)without suggestions from others on ribbon colors, etc.
BUT I did it and personally think I have created a simple masterpiece. Maybe I can open up a diaper cake boutique in South America, where the trendy gift is unknown, and make millions of pesos. Pictures tomorrow, because I know that I will make changes in the morning.

Short story shorter, I glimpsed into Balty's room as I was walking across the hall from my room to the bathroom and saw Balty standing on his bed, legs spread out, hands straight in the air, COMPLETELY naked, dancing to the music on his TV. He saw me see him, I ran into the bathroom silently dying from laughter, and when I came out of the bathroom, his door was shut. Since then, we have bonded :)
Until manana,
Lesley
