Primavera.

I love spring! It's the transition of the horribe, dark, and bitter New England winters into the most wonderful time of the year! It makes me so incredibly happy to throw open all the windows and not have to bundle up to go out.

Yes. I realize that I haven't posted a blog update in ages, but I haven't had any creativity due to lack of sunshine and warm weather. I need to move away from New England. Unfortunately in these times it's difficult to do so.

In other words stayed tuned for frequent updates of the crazy little life of Kristin. Love you all.

2008

This year has been quite the year. Professionally....nothing has happened, but I have learned a lot about myself. If anything, this year has been a learning experience about feelings for me....for sentimental issues. Some of my friendships have fallen apart and some have not....through thick and thin. The year started off as a rollercoaster....then it evened out and became more stable. So to speak. It is hard to say (er...type) this, but I am in love. I never ever thought I would say that. Not only that, but we are best friends. I feel like I've known him forever. I can imagine him when he was little, I can imagine him when he's old. I feel at ease...spiritually. Now I think that I am waiting and ready for a new adventure (while this one continues).

I am thinking that my trip this Summer to the Dominican Republic will be part of that adventure. Rodolfo wants to not only introduce me to his family (and meet his son), but he wants to show me everything and every place in his country. The schools he went to. The towns he's moved to. The places he's traveled. The rivers, beaches, mountains. Everything.

The only thing I am disappointed in is my career. I have been the most determined, driven, and career oriented person all of my life. I feel like I've put that on the back burner this past year and it is there in the back of my mind. I'm not sure what I want to do.

For ths new year I have few desires. I wish for good health and happiness. I wish the same for all my friends and family.

Resolutions?

Continue to work on being more trusting. Continue to work on my temper. To try and make a career move. I am not going to say that I am going to do anything, but rather try. I don't want any disappointment.

Polyvore Wish List

Kristin's Wish by Silverkayo

I basically can afford only the rings and the items from Forever 21 (which I love the clothes, but they don't like big boobs...). Other than that the other items are left to be only desired. Although, I do use these styles in my day to day wear (or at least I try...)

Perfume = Ralph Lauren Romance "Always Yours"
Also...I have a unnatural obsession with earrings. I have over 100 pairs. Many are very odd and cheap, but I LOVE them.

FUN STUFF

Six Random Facts About Me, Alis Volat Proplis:

1. I like to eat macaroni and cheese (from the box) when it's thunderstorming (or a rain storm). It's tradition.

2. I used to feel incredibly confident, sure, and driven in my career....I feel like I wasted a lot of money to become a "professional glorified waitress." I am not so sure anymore.

3. One time when I was a little girl I found a frog when I was playing. I used to have these blocks (to build things...such as castles, houses, etc.) that where my father's when he was a little boy. So I decided to build a castle for the frog. I brought the frog in the house and into the living room where the frog was and put him in the "castle." Well the castle had doors and windows. I left the frog in the castle and went off to find something to do. I came back to check on the frog and he was gone. I exclaimed, "OH! The frog left." My Mom (who hates creatures like that....especially in the house) says, "OMG! What frog!!" I told her that I put a frog in his castle and he must've decided to leave. We never found the frog.

4. I really love Charlie Chaplin.

5. I like to drink wine when I am cooking. Especially if I am in pretty or sexy clothing.

6. I can sing opera. Well, I had training, but haven't practiced in a long time. I'd love to get back to singing.

I'm supposed to tag others but I don't have a lot of friends with blogs! :(

Save a Prayer for Me Now

I have to keep remember that I am young and fortunate (semi) these next few months/weeks. I love being with people that I like, but I don't want to live with anyone. I like my time at home after long days at work, that is why I moved out on my own. Living with Rodolfo has been fine and it still is perfect, but now his sister is staying with us. I just need Rodolfo to explain that it is only temporary to her until she finds something else. Her and Juan Carlos have just broken up and he was helping her pay for her apartment. So....yeah. It's been a dramatic break up by the way. She needed to leave him (he had two faces come to find out).

I feel like an old lady this week. I don't want to go out eerynight and I like to be in my house only in bras and panties. I like to have romantic late night dinners with my boyfriend. I don't want people at my house everynight and I don't want to go out every night. I don't want to sound like an old lady, but I feel like that's how I sound. I should just keep my mouth shut maybe. Ugh.

Ooo. Forgot to mention that I did have a lovely time last Friday in Boston with Junior (Rodolfo's new friend who is in love with his sister). We took the train in (which goes fast!) and walked around Boston. We ate at a really bad Chinese restaurant in China Town and walked around some Chinese shops. Then we went to the mall. Crazy mall! We also went to the top of the Prudential Building at night and had a drink at the bar. The view was amazing. Who knew Boston is cool looking at night....a little bit.

I am getting excited for Christmas and going to Virginia with my sister and Rodolfo to visit my Mom and Brother at the new house. I can't wait for Rodolfo to see Virginia. Ay. Also, Allies sister is pregnant! Crazy. So is Darrah's roommate. Who's next? Not I!!

Intersting note: Ever heard of Animusic?? So weird.

Shall We Dance?

I love Spanish music. Not only that. I love dancing to Spanish music. I never have been a big "dancer," but I have leared a lot being with my Spanish boyfriend and his family and friends for a year and a half. Here's what I can dance:


The other night I danced all night to this music. This is music from Mexico and how they dance in the Yucatan. So crazy. Not difficult. Imagine me dancing to this!?


This is Merengue. I really like Merengue because it's a lot of fun. Rodolfo does it really crazy. I wish I could be like he and his sister....


This is my favorite of all, Bachata. This is the music from Rodolfo's country, The Dominican Republic. It's easy for me to do and soooo sexy. I love dancing with older people because it's so much easier and they are so cute. Haha. I'm a dork though. Here's one more Bachata dance:



I clearly can't do it like them. It's obviously advanced. This is more modern Bachata. How do they do that with their legs?

Haha. I love dancing. It's so amazing.

Now....I need to learn Salsa. I can't do it. Period.
