Nossa… Fiz(emos) tantas coisas neste fim de semana!
Coisas que deram certo e outras nem tanto…
No sábado o David me ensinou a usar a máquina de costura e comecei a fazer as almofadas pra cadeira. Ele consertou uma porta que não tava fechando (a que da pro hall da garagem), instalou ganchos na lavanderia pro varal, eu fiz pão de alho MARAVILHOSO!) e ele fez polenta crocante com abobrinha ao molho de gorgonzola. (É meu almoço de hoje tbm! Que delícia…) Continuamos a ler juntos um livro muito interessante - Gödel, Escher, Bach. E à noite assistimos o
filme Assassinato por Morte (eu só vi 30 minutos e caí de
sono…)
No domingo continuei com o projeto da cadeira, organizei um
pouco a biblioteca ( a moça que limpou as janelas vem pra
nos ajudar com a parte de baixo da casa hoje), usei o
rastelo com as folhas por 1,5 hora, fiz bolo de laranja (e
esqueci de colocar manteiga - ficou com consistênica de bolo
diet…), fui jogar boliche (uma amiga me ligou pra fazer
substituição de uma equipe feminina de boliche… Foi engraçado…)
E a noite, finalizei as almofadas. Tiramos fotos.
Vamos pôr no site assim que der.

Como vc vê, meu fim de semana foi MUITO produtivo, fiquei
muito animada. Tbm dormimos bastante e descansamos. Só
exagerei um pouco ontem - rastelo + boliche = dor muscular
nas costas do lado direito… Mas já-já passa!

E…. hoje está quase nevando…

Well, I went for a normal cleaning session, and had lots of fun with the TV right in front of me while the dentist was cleaning my teeth…

The Most Extreme is the program I watched…

This episode of Nov13 at 2pm was great - if you have a way to see it in the internet/TV I recommend!

And the best: all for free - the dental/health insurance paid for it.

Well, time flies, and I’m trying to keep you updated!

My mom came to visit us for 2 weeks and it was very nice. It was about time for her to know the town I chose and get to know some of my friends, and get to know better David, of course. I guess she had a good time. At least I am very sure she loved the food we ate - at home and restaurants! - and walking around the neighborhood. The weather was fantastic - just one rainy day and not cold at all!

We took some nice pictures (will post another time)

After she left I still had a big thing going on - the BCT concert. It went very well, and regardless 1 song cut that I got, I had a great time singing with these people. Great musicians, and very fun people to work with. The last minute rehearsals almost made me (and David) mad, but all ended up very well.

After the concert, as always, that emptiness that (maybe) other artists also share… I’m still in this misterious unsatisfied mood. Hoping to start using my creativity soon…. or else!

Love to all

Pri

Well, as you see we are well. We have a new car (picture coming soon - yes, David’s car was totaled) and my mom is here visiting. Many news, not a lot of time to write about them now, but hopefully soon!

Como voces podem ver, estamos bem! Temos carro novo (o carro do David no fim deu perda total) e minha mae esta aqui visitando. Muitas novidades, mas nao muito tempo pra escrever sobre elas. Quem sabe quando?

Ah! Click here for more pictures (Fiona’s pictures of Gypsy Moon Ball) .

Last Friday David and I escaped from a bad accident in the highway going to Cleveland to his 20th-year High school reunion. Everybody is fine, not even a scratch.  I’m (we are) very happy to be alive, since the car is very damaged (but maybe not totaled), and it was a very scary situation. I just caught a bad cold yesterday - or faringitis?… but this is NOTHING….

Sexta-feira passada  David e eu saimos ilesos de um acidente feio na estrada. Ninguem se machucou. O carro deu quase perda total, mas ainda nao sabemos como vai ser. Estamos perfeitamente bem - e eu peguei uma gripona logo depois do ocorrido.

I was chosen to sing in a concert about Protest Music in the Americas, in Novemeber. I’m very excited to sing again!

Fui escolhida pra cantar em um concerto sobre musica de protesto nas Americas. Comeco de Novembro. To animadissima!

My mom is coming to Bloomington to visit us on October 22. Isn’t this cool?

Minha mae vem nos visitar dia 22 de Outubro. Super legal!

So, David and I got a gift card with the amount of $108, and we were wondering why they chose the number 108.
Then I researched (incredible how internet is!) and  found this list of possibilities…  :)

http://www.hknet.org.nz/108meaning.html

And of course, the wikipedians have a great deal to say on the
subject…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/108_(number)

So, I thought it could be interesting to share with you….

I loved to read about all the symbolism related to the number - no matter which belief - it sure can have a wonderful power - if you want, of course!

And I do!

So,  I plan to use (with David) this gift with the intention of multiplying the joy and make our lives  abundant (of fun,  joy, h love, union, happiness, etc etc etc)!

thanks!!!

:)

Well, some things happening…

My hourly work was transformed in  a fulltime job, with benefits and everything. Now I am a Design Specialist! Check this… I’m very happy with it. Besides this, it seems that we’ll have another designer joining us and this might help with the incredible amount of work we have to do during a school year. I’m positive about it!

David and I will take tennis lessons twice a week in September - it sounds very exciting!

Sugar Hill is this coming weekend, and I’m very happy to be able to dance the whole weekend!

That’s all for now!
