It’s already March! I’m still stalking flights for both trips in May and June (Jamaica and Kenya), and willing prices to drop a bit. I mean, seriously, Jamaica should not be expensive in May. It’s not high season and it’s not very far. Gripes.
- I finally tried a pupusa, a classic El Salvadorean dish! And obviously I wouldn’t be writing about it if I thought it was disgusting. Well, actually I probably would be but it was incredibly delicious. I don’t think there is a great deal of “healthiness” in the pupusa, but it sure was tasty. I now want to try to make pupusas on my own…see these recipes here and here.
- Our dog was quite gimpy this week, which resulted in a great deal of worry….and one definitely ridiculous outcome. This. Is. Embarrassing. But she loves them. As one neighborhood dog-owner put it, “Dat dog got Uggs huh?” Yes, yes she does. Duggz, to be precise. Rounds out the family footwear.
- So, despite the fact that I wrote an entire post about how I didn’t think I would keep my Amex platinum card, I kept it. But I did get another 50,000 points. Yep, 50,000. I’m psyched, as that really builds up our point balance for some good shenanigans at hotels we don’t want to pay for (cough…Maldives?) or business class to Asia/Australia.
- Finally, I’d like to announce that I’ve also been invited to do some blogging at Kiss From The World. I’d like to increase my readership just a touch, and think this might be a great opportunity to do so. Kiss From The World has an incredible amount of content, so check it out! My content will be posted both here, and there, at least to start. I want to test the waters before I really start investing more time in writing. This is a hobby, yo.
See, I made it a whole weekly roundup without talking about shopping/not-shopping. Sixty days in and I’m feeling better and less antsy about this whole thing.
Have a great week.
