appened to me at work over the last forty-eight hours that have left me feeling sick, stressed and angry – but i am not going to get into these things, i am a firm believer that proliferating negative energy gets us nowhere.
The weekend was fantastic, the kind of weekend that makes me incredibly thankful. Friday was a great relaxed night with family and close friends; laughing, talking, gossiping and generally having a good time. I traded a Saturday afternoon Kiteboarding session for the Sunday morning wake-up with Ollie and was rewarded with good wind and some nice rides. We then returned home to get ready for the Macky’s Halloween p
arty (a perennial favorite). It was a booty shaking good time with unique and interesting costumes, great grooves all topped off with sancocho. Somehow i have never been able to get over that me and my two left feet get to go home with the best dancer at the party – forever. Dumbluck.
We have a wonderful babysitter who is the maid for the people who live below
us; she, like so many people here in the Dominican absolutely LOVES Oliver. We have to fight her to pay her for her services and on Friday she wanted to make sure it was okay that she slept with Oliver. Karli made a comment about how in places of the world that would be a really weird request (i.e. the Neverland Ranch); here however there is a definite love and acceptance of children and babies unlike what is seen in the first world. I never walk the OPP anywhere without hearing “dios bendiga” (god bless him), if he is fussy at the bank or the insurance office i don’t get “that look” instead a teller on a break (or while working) will come and want to play with him, in fact they will do this even if he is not fussy (he’s rarely fussy)!
