Today has been one of the laziest, most relaxing days in my life. I’m telling you, I’m living the life of luxury. I woke up around 10, ate breakfast with Olga, then climbed back into bed with Harry, Hermione and Ron. At 1:30 Olga told me almuerzo was ready, so I took a break. After lunch, I headed back to bed and I read from 2:15 to 4, when I decided to quit being so lazy. Actually my eyes and back were starting to hurt! I excercised, showered, then decided that it was so cold that the only place I should be was in my bed reading! Around 5:30, the Telefonica man came to install the internet! Olga knew within seconds that he was not Chilean and while he worked, she asked him if he was Peruvian. He chuckled/grunted and told us he was Ecuadorian. Apparently Ecuadorians don’t like Peruvians as much as Chileans don’t like Peruvians. Anyway, I now have internet in the apartment. It will be a huge help for doing homework and communicating with my friends and family.
As soon as I had internet I called my mom. Then I called Mommer to wish her a Happy Birthday, but she was too busy getting her hair done to talk to her long lost granddaughter. (Just kidding Mommer! Happy Birthday!)
Tonight I went with Calli and Courtney to see the play FuenteOvejuna, written by Lope de Vega, the Spanish version of English’s Shakespeare. I saw the play in English at Tulane and it was wonderful. Unfortunately, we didn’t think about the fact that the play would be in Old Spanish, so it was hard to understand (think “Dost thou bite thy thumb at thee?” style). But since I had seen it before I was able to explain the basics to Courtney and Calli, enough to keep us from being completely lost. Despite the language difficulties, the play was beautiful both musically and visually. If anyone has a chance to see it in the States, I highly recommend it.
After the play, I had once with Olga while she filled me in on what I missed on Alquien te mira then played on the internet (and talked to Jamie!). As soon as I finish this, its back to HP! I need to finish it before my classes start again!

I know you are having a great time today with your trip to wherever it was that I couldn't pronouce or begin to spell. How is Harry!?!?
Jamie was thrilled you talked to her. I'll tell her she is not to get anymore calls unless she reads and makes on your blog! Same for your Daddy. I guess Mommer and I are special. You did get to talk to Poppa though didn't you? Love you loads and thanks for making my day yesterday with your call. I slept wonderfully after hearing your voice. Mom
Dear long lost granddaughter!
I am sorry that I missed your call; but when you are my age, getting your hair done becomes a priority!!! I hope you know that I would have stayed home if I had any idea you might call! Even though I did not talk to you, your cell message was a special gift.
Hope you are loving Harry!
Love you, Mommer
P. S. I don't know who told you (weeks ago) that your spelling was bad. It seems fine to me!
I read your blogs. I just don't comment on every single one of them. Sounds like a great day. I would love to spend a day curled up reading a book. I did pretty much do that with HP
Oh by the way anonymous is DAD. Love ya. Trevor seems terrific. Ready to be an RA. Told him it was like Wylde life with alcohol. Dad
Who the hell is Harry?? Should I love him, too? Where does Trevor stand after this revelation??
Poppa
Kayla, So glad you are getting some relaxation in between your busy days. How is Harry? Did you take him with you on your trip? Mommer called me to tell me you were going to Argentina?? Until Monday?? She wasn't sure when you would be back. I can't wait to hear/read what you are doing now! Just got Spanish/English dictionary because Connor and Chad both are taking Spanish so now I can look up some of the words you write. Keep having fun!
Love, Aunt Tracy
Hi Kayla,
Wow! I caught up on your blog this weekend. What an exciting life you are leading...And still have time to read Harry Potter...Scotter B finished it about 3 weeks ago! I still have 5 and 6 to read before he'll let me read this one! Aunt Karen
Kayla,
It sounds like Olga (and the rest of the country) are doing a great job of spoiling you rotten. It must be nice, but I don't know if we'll ever get an honest days work out of you again.
I'm very much enjoying the blog, thanks for taking time to update us.
Pax Christi, Josef
Kayla--I am a little disappointed in you. You sound like a lazy bag of dung. There is more to life than Potter, mugels, and a bunch Hogwart broom flyin, wizardin punk kids. Set some goals for your life and get some direction. Get out of bed before ya turn into a 400 pound Hagard like monster.
