A tribute to Jamon

The first part of this post is for D'Arcy, though I hope the rest of you can enjoy these pictures as well. Spain has a national obsession with ham and after realizing this last year, some people have really come to hate ham. While walking though the streets of Madrid last night with 5 fabulous male flight attendants, I made them stop several times to take these pictures:




It was a great layover. Here are the boys:

And me with the boys, though this is not a great pic of me.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Spain. I decided yesterday that I am going to become fluent in Spanish. I have talked and talked about it for years, and then thought maybe I should learn French instead, but really, I know more Spanish already and for some reason have more of a connection to it. So I am going to really learn it.

Look at me! I'm a Prada model. Thanks to my natural good looks and D'Arcy's hair, makeup and photo talents.

A room of my own

(yes D'Arcy, I sort of stole your title)

I am moving to my own place in a couple of weeks. I am very excited. I have had so many roommates (many of who have been wonderful) for the last 12 years, but I really think at 30 it is about time I am on my own. It's a studio and it's not big, but it will be just me. And whoever I invite over. I swear I am not moving for a couple of years!
