Okay, there´s so much to say and so little time. hopefully they don´t shut my
comp off before I´m done. MI CASA It´s like candy land! it´s two bright shades
of pink of the outside. the livingroom wall is bright orange, my batheroom is
bright green with a pink toilet and our bedroom is bright blue! Everyone says
that ist´s the nicest house in the mish. we have lots of friends here. we call
them bichos. they crawl everywhere! they are tiny and love our food. today,
being p day, i did some major cleaning.... this place could use a week of deep
cleaning... I´ll be leaving it a lot better than I found it... that´s for
sure.we have a cocinera for 1 meal every day. I eat powderede soy milk with
chocolate and granola and bananas cereal for breakfast. 85 degrees F is nomal
and cool temp for our house. ITS SO FREAKING HOT HEREseriously.... food
