Big Deals and Little Things

Over the past 10 days, I've had two albums on rotation--Sergio Mendes' Timeless and Beyonce's Beyonce. Not quite Christmas music, but they pair so well. Mmmm, epic. Stimulates my ears :)

I jammed away while I:

1.) learned to make caipirinhas #highrumstandards
2.) learned to make tamales #secretingredient #liquidporkfat #fiestagrocerystore
3.) had Samba lessons #strongcore
4.) refreshed my Spanish #minombreesBetania
5.) gained an insider's view of the oil, gas, and energy industries in Houston. #oilmoguls #bigmoney
6.) rode around doing fun things, like visiting museums with awesome Egyptian exhibits and fancy houses with glittering Christmas lights #museumlover #historylover
7.) splurged every meal and loved it >>> Torchy's Tacos Trashy Trailer Park Taco with guac/chips and blueberry soda, epic! #skinnyfatgirl
8.) sketched tentative plans to vacay in Mexico City #improvespanish
9.) attended Christmas mass #oholynight
10.) was hosted by one of my smartest, nicest friends and her super sweet family. Awww :) #shesgoingplaces
11.) was introduced to the realest samba music--even took home a custom album. #dopeness #sambamama #lovelivemusic #drumsdothingsforme
12.) learned all about San Andres, a Colombian Island in the Caribbean Sea, and it's population of Afro-Latinos. A must visit en route to Panama.
13.) hopped on a scale and realized I weigh 114! Almost reached my goal of 115 and couldn't be more pleased with myself :)
14.) had my hopes to visit Angola smashed by a Risk Analyst--apparently, it's a very dangerous place. But, I laugh in the face of danger. Hahaha. I still want to go.

Made a video! Ms. Espinosa teaching me to make caipirinhas:
