happy halloween(ie)
Sunday, October 31, 2010
Growing up I loved Halloween because of the amazing parties my parents hosted--we watched spooky movies and trick-o-treated to our hearts desires which measures to about one pillow case full of candy. I remember feeling happy and exhausted. Plus I always had matching costumes with my dear friend Caitlin (usually of the princess variety). As I've gotten older the novelty of Halloween has worn off but this year was surprisingly perfect.
Saturday morning was my roommate Becca's birthday and we celebrated by having a brunch feast. We made baked brie with cranberry sauce and apples, crepes with nutella and bananas, Spanish tortilla omelette, bacon, coffee, apple cider champagne cocktails and carrot cake.
Aren't my roommates the cutest?

This week my mama is coming to visit and I'm so excited! Happy Halloween everyone!

Happy Earth Day! It's the 40th anniversary of this lovely holiday and I encourage everyone to go out and enjoy our beautiful earth! We often take it for granted in so many ways..so go out there in the spring sunshine and encourage environmental reform. We only have one earth...give it some love!

welcome 2010!

new year!Chilean new years was something to behold for sure--all night partying was a bit of a struggle so we went to a friend's for cocktails and drinks then didn't quiteeee make it to the clubs around 4am but it was a nice entering of 2010--with new friends and an old favorite (love you Cort!)..In true Chilean tradition I wore yellow underwear for good luck. haha. Champagne is my drink of choice so of course there was plenty of that flowing as well..Anyway new year, new decade and did you know it was a Blue Moon!? The only one until 2028. So a special full moon for the new year.ahhh..excitement! As we welcome the new year and the end of the decade (wow wee) I'd like to take some time to reflect on the past year and what the future looks like. In 2009, I graduated college, visited New Orleans and Chicago, learned new things, spent time with my family and friends, moved to Santiago, became an English teacher, met new people who inspired me, and changed for the better. Despite some lows of this past year I've changed my life for the better and I'm happy to say that I'm living my life with positivity! I usually write down some resolutions so to keep in mind as I venture on the next year of my life..and this year I've been thinking about several things I'd like to work on..
-being less judgmental of others..no one's perfect and everyone makes mistakes!
-drink 8 glasses of water everyday--Hydration
-happiness being a priority always!
Wishing everyone much love, happiness, health and prosperity this nuevo ano and sending out kisses and hugs to you all!

summer christmas
Saturday, December 26, 2009
This year was an especially interesting Christmas..HOT weather, a mezcla of cultures, and delicious food. Luckily for me it was all my favorite foods--seafood, guacamole, onions and peppers, salad, carrot cake, chocolate cheesecake, fudge, apricot and nectarine tart, and raspberry jam cookies. I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas away from home. In true Daly tradition, we took a long walk after all the eating towards Plaza de Armas and spotted the three wise men.
Merry Merry Merry!

Merry Christmas to all!
This is my first Christmas apart from my family. Although this is a little triste I am thankful to have a wonderful Chilean family to celebrate with! The amazingness of technology enabled me to see my family's lovely faces last night and again today. I am thankful for so much--friends, food, health, opportunity, new experiences, learning, teaching and family family family. Christmas is a time for reflection on the year past and the year to come. I can't wait to see what adventures happen next! Wishing you and yours the best this holiday and many besos y abrazos a todas! Love! Food! Happiness!
ps. Due to the very HOT weather here (90s!) We are having a giant Christmas bbq today! Will post pictures soon!
