The Rain (Or Polar Bears) In Spain,

Tuesday, I forgot to mention how annoyingly corny and dramatic and mysterious Leonardo's tone was. If you had asked me before if I would be living here... but now, I just don't know. That's how crazy my life is. You never know where your life will lead. Who knows what tomorrow brings? I almost died of a burst appendix, so as far as I'm concerned, I should already be dead.

I won't bite and say "What on earth is crazy about your life? Where on earth are you moving? And why?" I definitely would have done that before. In fact the major fight that ended our relationship was-- ha, I'm laughing as I remember this--  about polar bears. Well, kind of. Let me go check the records. God, I love gmail. It makes blogging about your exes SOOOO easy. Hold on... OK, I'm back. Wow, I remember how devastated I was by this e-mail, which is only 2 years old, but feels like it's from Kindergarten. OK, so here it is (with the emoticons and all)

Hi ! [I've italicized what's he wrote in English]

te cuento que en Julio no estare unos dias en Madrid. Del 5 al 12 estare fuera en un viaje a La Antartida estudiando la vida de los osos polares :O) consideralo para afinar tu programa actividades in Spain. De todas maneras habra tiempo cuando estes aquí para confirmar fechas.

Finalmente, el hombre del tiempo reportando que en Madrid el calor esta muy fuerte. Hoy por lo menos uff!

Bueno, to por ahora

Besos
Bye

You know the drill. Here's the ingles.

Hi ! [I've italicized what's he wrote in English]

I just wanted to tell you that I will be out of Madrid for a few days in July. From July 5-12 I will be on a trip in Antarctica studying the lives of Polar Bears :O) Keep that in mind when you're planning your activities in Spain. Anyway, once you're here, there will be time to confirm dates.

Lastly, the weatherman just reported the heat is really strong. Today at least uff*!

Well, that's all for now,

kisses,
Bye

I don't know if I told you this, but when we met, I was 23 and he was 36. Although we both thought the other one was in their late 20s. So keep that in mind as you enjoy his polar bear jokes and emoticons.

So, two years ago, when I was just a wee thing, I did bite. I bit hard. I'll show you the e-mail I wrote back in my next post. It's pathetic...

 

*not sure what the linguistic rout of "uff" is.
