Getting fit for summer

I'm soooo fed up with the way I look. It's not just the weight, which actually is bad enough, it's the feeling I get every time I look at myself in the mirror. I really really do need a huge makeover! My DS2, G aged 10, looooves my belly! He says it's like a pillow... Hrmmm.... I don't want to have a belly like a pillow.... It's time to stop crying about the way I look and DO SOMETHING about it!!! Well, this is my plan. Since I'm still unemployed and get really bored and lazy at home I need to do some cardiac stuff to get my blood running and...

An energy boost

I LOOVE Peruvian music, especially cumbias, but every now and then I like to listen to Peruvian folk music. I recently came across this video and I wanted to share it with you. I've heard the song hundreds of times before, lots of people put it on their videos from Peru on Youtube, but I never knew the name of the group, until now. So here it is, "Ananau" by Alborada. BTW, they sing in Qechua, the language of the Incas. I think this song would be just PERFECT for my powerwalks, specially for climbing stairs. It gives me such an energy boost....

I do miss Morocco..

I spent the past 4 years living in Morocco, in the province of Tetuán, in the north part of the country. It was a very gratifying experience that has taught me a lot about life in general and specially, about myself. A taxi driver washing his cab. The tower is an old water tower, from the time when you could go by train between the different parts...

My goals for 2010

New year, new resolutions... I haven't really had time to write down my goals for this year, I usually do that every 1st of January. Oh well, it's still not too late so here we go... 1) My first and most important goal is to get a job. I don't really care about what I do, as long as I get payed by the end of month and I can pay my bills. But if I get to chose, I'd like to work in an office or go back to teaching, I really enjoy working with people and watch them grow as persons. 2) Get back to serious blogging. I used to have blogs with hundreds...

Still looking for a job...

We've been living in Spain since September and I started to look for a job on day 1 and I'm still unemployed.... It is really getting on my nerves because so much time worrying about money is not good for the health... And now we've really hit rock bottom. In a few weeks we're down to 0 Euros and unless I find a job really quick there won't be any more money either... Oh my God, life is really really hard sometomes... What can I do? I've answered to hundreds of job opportunities but no luck so far.... Something is definitely not working... Unemployment...

Sooo COLD!!!

At last, no rain.... Yesterday morning the rain here in the Malaga province was so heavy that in a few hours it poured down the equivalent to 11 months of water consumption. That is quite a lot... Today it very, very chilly... I still haven't got a winter jacket (long story...) so I know I'll be freezing when I walk my kids to school. Oh well, hopefully...

About Blanca

So you're curious about who I am? Ok, fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride! My nick on the internet is Blanca. I'm aged 42, but really, age is just a number, right? I actually feel a lot better now than when I was 30, so I'd say my best age definitely is now. *lol* I was born and bred in Stockholm, Sweden, but I'm Spanish since birth. At age 20 I decided I wanted to go back "home" to Spain, so I spent 6 years studying at a Spanish university. After that I returned to Sweden for 12 years, got married, had my babies and realized I wasn't happy...

So fed up with rain...

Well, enough is enough, right? I know it usually rains quite a bit this time of year, but this year it's really too much! In one single week we got more water than we usually get in six months!!!! And it hasn't stopped raining.... It's been going on for about 3 weeks now... My part of Spain, Malaga, is quite fortunate. Not many accidents due to the heavy raining here and as far as I know, nobody died, but this raining day and night really is getting on my nerves... In the northern parts of Spain the snow and the really cold temperatures are making...

Back to normal...

This is the last week of the Christmas vacations. Hooray! The weather has been really lousy -  rain, rain, rain.... In one week it rained more than it usually rains in 6 months!!!! Just imagine... It's really difficult to make two boys aged 10 and 12 happy indoors for so many days... They've been on vcation since the 22nd and are getting really fed up with doing - nothing.... And a few more days and I'll go bananas, because with the boys at home I can't really concentrate on looking for a job, clean the apartment and other really interesting...
