Chili Party

Well next big party is going to be a chili party.  Addisun's mom sent her chili packets, they dont sell chili powder here can you believe it.  So Saturday if you are reading this... you are invited.  Just bring the beer!

Gabi is 3!

The Many Faces of Gabi…
So, today we had Gabi's 3 year old B-day party at her Grandma & Grandpa's. She looked gorgeous today and had a blast. Not only did Gabi get a few gifts, but Ben got his Wii that Tia Dani brought as a Christmas gift from my family in America. It was a beautiful day with family and everyone was sleeping by 8pm tonight.
Today was another holiday here in Brasil "The day of the dead" not like Halloween...I think more like Memorial Day.

Actually it is called Dia de Finados

Happy Halloween

Well this is the last Holiday that I spent in the U.S.A before I left almost a year ago for Brasil.  I can’t believe how the time has flown by.  Unfortunately we did not dress up but we did read a couple of scary stories and watched “Coraline” as a family last night. 

Tis the season for the Holidays and I will miss celebrating with my friends and family in the U.S., but making new memories here.  Some of the hardest holidays have been the ones that aren’t celebrated here like Halloween, Thanksgiving & 4^th of July. 

Scorpio's

I am celebrating so many birthdays this month and quite suprised by how many people in my life that are scorpios. 
So, Happy Birthday my Scorpio Husband, Daughter & Friends... 
 I am Surrounded by you and I love it!

Scorpio

October 23 - November 21

Those born under the zodiac sign of Scorpio have birthdays between October 24 and November 22. They are known for their passion and the loyalty they extend to their loved ones. Scorpio people are also very observant and very resourceful people. On the downside, they can get pretty obsessive as well as jealous over petty things. They can also be manipulative and unyielding and are quick to mistrust people.

On Self

When you meet a Scorpio person, the first thing that you will notice is that they fiercely guard their independence. They also have a very strong will that when they set their minds to do something, they will not stop at getting at. They also prefer doing it alone to assure themselves of the quality of the outcome. Scorpios are also very ambitious. With persistence and determination, which can sometimes be regarded as hunger for power, they do get what they want, and they do not easily give up. It can also be said that they are very competitive, but rest assured that they will always be just. However, for those Scorpios who are not self actualized, they can be greedy and will step on people just to go after what they want.

When it comes to their social lives, Scorpios are not what you can call a typical social butterfly. They do not wear their emotions on their sleeves and will work all the harder if they have problems not to show that they are going through rough times.

On Other People

It can be said that it is difficult to understand a Scorpio, and their complex nature all the more makes it difficult to get near them emotionally. However, if you are friend with one, you will have one of the most loyal friends that you can ever have. They will also appreciate a friend who is honest and upfront and will do everything in their power to protect an honest and loyal friend. If you want to earn their trust, you better show him or her upfront who you are.

On Love and Relationship

It is hard to be in a relationship with a Scorpio. They can be very demanding when they want to, and they can also be very possessive and emotional. But because of their aloofness and they very powerful attitude, it can be said that they are one of the sexiest zodiac signs. If ever you are in a relationship with one, you are very lucky because they are loyal to their loved ones and are always ready to protect them.

Halloween

Yesterday, I went to my schools Halloween party.  There were lots of Witches and Dead People walking around.  It was so much fun.  We were dancing and my students were teaching me all of the Brazilin Dances.  Actually it seemed as if all of the Brazilian songs had dances that we would do from a Macarena on steroids to a dance where you drive a bicycle oh and not to mention the song where you had to dance around the person with the characteristics that were in the song; like the chubby one, the gay one and the one with Big Boobs.  I got surrounded a couple of times.  Seriously Brasil!  Seriously!   

Today we are going to take the kids fishing and Tony to the Trout Farm for his Birthday.  Happy Bday Tony!!!
