My name...and more stuff...
Ok...so now I have a bit more time for this since Linda is gone and I'm too exhausted to go anywhere tonight...
I am tired of people not saying my name right...I know I'm being picky but hey, it's my name and I' m entitled to have some preferences on this case...Everyone in here says it wrong and I hate it sooooooo much! It's not that people say it wrong, of course they say it with the correct English pronounciation but it's so more "nasal" than the portuguese version and so more ugly...
I love Spearmint flavor. It's my favorite ever. Not that I am a chewing gum addict but I like to have some around. So I'm buying quite a few to take home, because in here you have so many and in Portugal it's quite hard to find.
I'll be doing some cooking with my mom tomorrow. I love to cook when I'm home so it will be wonderful to try some new recipes and learn to make my mother's dishes.She cooks really well, so I'd rather take the time to do it while I'm here.
Snow. I love it. And yes, it's too cold. And the streets get quite not-so-romantic when the snow is mixed up with mud in the sidewalks or along the roads. But all that white enchants me...and when it's snowing, it's just like a snowglobe...and I love snowglobes...I just hate the fact of everything being so slippery and my shoes being totally inapropriate. But I won't be buying freaking ugly boots just to get in and out of the house and stores...Specially when I can hang on to someone who is wearing appropriate shoes... Anyway, I went to Target today and was checking some boots that might not be so BIGFOOT style. Some were kind of nice ...but flat! How in the world will I ever use flat soles?! With my size? When everyone is so tall (at least outside my family)? Hell no...I like to be seen...or talked to, without people having to bend over...and sometimes, even when I'm with my high heels that happens, so flat shoes are not an option...not an option at all!
Tapioca. Jell-O. Fat free. I'm crazy about it. So crazy that when people invite me over I feel like asking if they have Tapioca there...How can something so nice be a pre-made dessert, you know, those puddings that come in powder in a box and cost less than a dollar? I'm taking some of those home too...
And for now that's all. I have some mails to answer to, and even though I feel quite tempted to answer with blogs, so I only have to write everything once, that is just not my style..
Take care you all!

Claudia...I was noticing that Helena pronounces your name more like the word "cloud". Cloud-ia. Is that correct? I even asked John if that's how we should pronounce it. haha

Americans can´t spell names...
I´m in the same situation. My name is Niclas NOT Nicholas as all say in the states.
and I have most of my relatives there...
This morning I had two inches of frozen snow on my car and was late to my work...
I think you are a child again with so much snow around you.
I'd like to see a picture of you skiing...
regards
