Biggest Fear →
I cannot imagine anything worse than a flying feline…seriously, sick.
While THIS is not exactly how the paintball game went down (offensive, I know), I can tell you the following:
1. I was not that good absolutely horrible, at least compared to all of the guys. And I absolutely hate being bad at things, therefore I was probably pouting 50% of the time.
2. I of course got awkwardly nailed in the head right above the mask and in my hair. My scalp is now 100% pink...
Successfully did not leave my apartment once today.
And got a burrito delivered for dinner.
Happy Memorial Day.
Oculista
Headed to the eye doctor today…in Spanish…definitely going to be awkward. I will probably end up accidentally signing up for lasik surgery.
INTERVENTION
Jenna: im so uncomfortable right now. Im like wriggling around in my chair like a 4th grader
Me: oh no why?
Jenna: i dont know. im wearing a snuggie bc im cold. but its like all bunched and i want to put my feet up
Me: WAIT...you are wearing a snuggie?
Jenna: yes. yes i am
Me: do you own this godforsaken snuggie?
Jenna: yes. it was given to me by a co-worker for no reason. its red and it has pockets and i wear it up to the printer
Me: ummmm...im going to have to reconsider our friendhsip. And could you please take a picture and send it to me of you in your snuggie
Jenna: yup
Me: excellent. Would you ever wear this snuggie on a pub crawl?
Jenna: hahaha ive heard of these. And no for two reasons. One, they are REALLY long and like difficult to walk in. Two because i would probably end up losing it and it is my most prized posession.
Me: it is your most prized posession? This is worse than i thought
PETTERSON MOLLY C
Yup. That’s how they spelled my name on my bank card. Not ONE of those words is spelled right.
1. My real name is not MOLLY
2. My middle name starts with a K
3. My last name is spelled Patterson
I mean it’s not like this guy had my passport, Argentine residency document or anything to open my account. And it’s not like he handed me the sheet of paper with my account name on...

Stoopin' it
Everyone knows I love a good stoop session. I used to sit on my stoop in college for hours on end doing whatever my heart desired. Last night after my futbol game with my coworkers, I reached a new level of “stoopin.” We decided to go “grab a beer” after the game. Keep in mind I heard the word cerveza and I said yes, but that is about all I understood. You see, I usually...

Gripe Porcina
I may or may not have met two guys from Mexico last night that live in Buenos Aires. And I may or may not have asked them over and over again if they had the “gripe porcina” aka swine flu. I thought it was hilarious. They, however, did not.
Smuggler with 14 birds in his pants hit with... →
“CBP agents inspected Dong and “found bird feathers and droppings on his socks, as well as birds’ tail feathers visible under his pants.” A subsequent search “discovered 14 live birds attached to two flat pieces of cloth that were wrapped around his calves.”
WatchWeird Animal being tickled…I don’t even know what that creature is or how to describe what it looks like, but it’s really effing weird.
Let's get ready to rumble...
Playing soccer futból against my Argie coworkers tonight..all males. This should be interesting. I am probably going to tear my ACL. That would be just my luck.
PS I haven’t played soccer in at least 8 months.

It popped up on my igoogle this morning. This is what I drink everyday, and on Sundays in the park. When Kristen, aka Tammy the Tourist, came to visit, she swore that her bike tour guide was giving her drugs..nope just mate.
Really Paula, could have fooled me →
Holiday Fun
Working on Argentine labor day. My fellow coworkers are currently having a sing-a-long to Wonderwall (with their Spanish accents)…absolutely hilarious.
And the answer is yes, I am totally singing along as well.
Edit: They just passed around the lyrics to Bright Eyes/Total Eclipse of the Heart and are now singing together.
