Miracles of Modern Technology

Im writing this from an internet kiosk in El Aeropuerto in Madrid. I ended coming here for training instead of Mallorca, which was a nice surprise. I didnt take too many pictures or walk around too much because I was working until almost dark and the weather was not very picturesque.

I did see a bit of the city though, and meet and reunite with some of my favorite Spaniards though so that part of the trip was good. Its funny to me that I always end up getting shown around in the 'coolest' parts of cities when I visit, I think because Im from New York, and people like to show off the parts of their cities that are most like SOHO. Little do these people know that Im a small town girl at heart and the opportunity to travel anywhere and see international cities is amazing to me, whether I see the cool parts or not.

Ill post a couple of pictures when I get back to New York. Right now though Im sitting out a 2 hour delay due to bad weather in New Jersey. Boredom at its best. Too bad Idont have my sis around to play cribbage and make up slightly delirious songs about waiting

Before (2005)

After (Now)

I realized today that I have a total of 9 successful houseplants, which is a lot but not a whole lot since the majority of them are pretty small. I have lost only 1 other plant in the last year or so, due to a complete lack of understanding of what it needed. After trying varying levels of water and light it dried up and died anyway, but I figure 9 out of 10 is pretty good.

I get all of these plants from a store down the street. They always give me a tip or two when I get a plant from them, and gave me some potting soil for free when I needed it which was pretty sweet.
