As a missionary in South America, I had great pleasure of often teaching my Latina companions English words and phrases. Some phrases included, but are not limited to, "he's drunk", "let's go", "he's nuts", and "it's a lovely day". One particularly entertaining and firey Chilean, whom I love and whose friendship and memories I cherish, once asked how you interpret "mis nalgas". Well that translates literally " my butt cheeks." Which is a phrase I do not employ. Perris is another story. In Spanish there's not a lot of variety in vocabulary. So while there are other ways to say "posterior, bottom, buttocks", I simply told her my most-used phrase for this term in English: "bum". She noted the word and we carried on. Some days later I heard her ask, "Hermana, tengo algo en mis bums?" Or, "Do I have something on my bums?" I died of laughter. I enjoy using Maria Julia's phrase to this day.
On the same note, Chicken artichoke pizza is among the most delicious at our house. (Thanks Lynetter!). I made this the other night and when I retrieved it from the oven noticed it's striking resemblance to my back side.
My flat bottom has been a subject of woe for many years. A good thing, a bad thing, I can never decide. After two kids though I'm in serious need of a Brazilian butt lift. I have seriously checked out those workout DVDs of the same name! Haaha. Well as I continue to ponder a course of action, I will dive right in and enjoy my pizza.
Wade with Hank's pants on his head definitely agrees.
I saw lots of cutesy kid valentines on Pinterest and was seriously underwhelmed at the thought of such effort into the pre-preschool class of my two year old. But last week when his teacher announced there would be a valentine celebration and exchange I was like sent into twirls and squeals of delight (I also just received my favorite movie, Enchanted, for my bday and have been dying at the hilarity. Especially the hand movements of Giselle. I'm taking lessons.) So off we went to find a non-candy item for our sweet 15 friends. Bouncy balls were the winner. I was bound and determined to come up with my own cute saying...conjuring up my best creative juices to be original. I came up with my saying and then decided to look at Pinterest to see if there was anything that trumped it. Well, I found out that someone else (many someone else's) have also thought upon the same lines of brilliance. So while original in my mind, it's not completely singular. Fine by me.
Boxes for the teachers, filled to the brim with delectable Hershey kisses. And below, our creation. (Brushing off my shoulder. ;) just kidding.)
