This is my Saturday morning (March, 15th) and its raining here, in Rio.
Just woke up, had my “cafe com leite” and checked my emails. Only a couple of days now for me to get the plane and go to NZ meet my beloved Husband. I just cant wait to be in his arms again. I MISS him every single second. He is the love of my life!
Yesterday was a good day at work. We had a “pizza party” (cheese-basil-tomato pizza, cheese chicken pizza, four cheeses pizza, portuguese pizza, banana-cinamon pizza and chocolate pizza). It was so yummy.
I will start to pack my things to NZ now and then I will go have lunch with my aunties.
I just cant wait to be in my Husband´s arms again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is ALL I want. He is my treasure, my life, my everything.
This is 12:19AM (thursday) and I should be sleeping. I felt sleepy all day at work (OK, I feel terribly bored at work) and I will probably feel even worse tomorrow.
But the thing is: Wednesday and Thursday are my favorite TV nights so I couldnt miss it. I waited until the last TV show finished and finally went to have my shower. I was feeling gross and now I feel very good and refreshed and purified.
Speaking about shower, I must confess that I do have a problem with being naked. I dont know… besides being a bit overweighted I just dont feel good in the nude. So, when I am not together with my husband, the ONLY time I am naked is when I am having a shower. When I finish the shower, I go to my room wrapped in my gown or towel and put my moisturizers. But I do it as fast as I can to finally dress my pajamas – because I dont like to be naked. To give you an idea, as soon as I put my panties on, I feel a LOT more comfortable.
When I am with Cam, I can be naked and feel good if its not cold.
I am overweight because I have been eating more than I should (because of my many anxieties and because I love food – food gives me so much comfort!!!), but I would very much like to loose like 4 kgs before arriving in NZ but I cant.
Something very cool happened last Monday: Adam Curry played my msg during DSC 730! Yes! I thought my voice sounded a bit retarded, but feel very good to be on his show!!!! Thank you Adam! Hope he manages to bring Patricia to the show.
The weather is terribly HOT here in Rio and it makes me feel very annoyed. Like I am always feeling stinky and sweaty, lots of people on the streets are stinky…. oh, boy. And everywhere, there is air conditioner very high so its no good to wear light summer clothes depending where you go.
I like to watch Oprah and today´s show was quite good. There was a woman who had loads of debt and couldnt manage to get out of the bankrupt situation. So, the financial analyst, Suze Ormond, was there to give tips about how to make the most of your money and guarantee for yourself a safe life and, most important, a safe retirement. Suze wrote several books and I would love to purchase one of them called “Women and Money” but, as I read on Amazon reviews, she mention american laws and financial systems so I am afraid I wount be able to make as good use of the book as I would like to.
I am going to bed now. I shall continue the post tomorrow.
Hello! Its always nice to write in our little Blog.
This is so COOL!! If you listen to DSC – 729 (Adam Curry 
), you will listen to my husband´s msg!!! 
Such a sexy voice… Oh my God!!!
This is my Sunday morning and I guess this is the better time of week to write. Specially because its so terribly hot and I dont really fancy getting all “sweaty grossy” under the strong Sun. So I just had a very nice shower, washed my hair (using “O Boticário” products – best Brazilian cosmetic brand) and feel so refreshed. Thats the good way to start your day. 
I was rushing to arrive at work early so that I would leave work early (I have to work 7 hs a day) but I just realize that I don’t have to rush, there´s no point at all (specially because I was working more hours than necessary as I have been having my lunch at the court´s kitchen). So now my husband wakes me up on Skype, we talk, I make my “cafe com leite”
, make the bed, go have a very nice shower, get dressed and put on my make up, take my time going to get the underground bus, go buy some nice pastries 
and drinks, go to the bank if I need to and, only after all that, I go to work. PS: and still I would arrive there early enough to leave work just a bit after 5PM.
As I wrote before, the more you want to be efficient, the more people will throw work on your back and the more you will get stressed. Its just NOT worth at all!! What I have been doing lately is just the enough, taking my time to do things (and, did I mention?, I dont have a computer to myself so, what was a bit of a hassle on the beginning is now my little alibi – great idea 
). Another thing: there are 3 students working part time there at the court. Of course, nobody wants to spend their time looking after these students works, telling them what to do, etc… so they put me in charge of them. At the beginning I was worried about organizing things for them to do. But now I don’t care. I arrive at work when I can, go have my little morning snack 
and only after that I give the students the same stupid little task everyday which is: get the petition, find the correspondent file, put the petition inside the file, end of story. Also, I was using somebody´s else computer for the last two weeks but now she is back from holidays (and honeymoon) so I have no PC. I intend to use this alibi as much as I can. I will just tell the students I cant give them work if I have no computer available…. What a “pity”!! 
I have absolutely no enthusiasm about my work. (besides: I WANT MY WORK LEAVE BACK!) I heard about a girl who also works at the justice here in Rio, her brother is a doctor so she is always on health leave and goes to the beach, go shopping or whatever. She became famous at the justice for being always on health leave so she miss lots of work days. What happens is that she still have her job (because we all have stability – we dont get fired), she receives her salary as normal and, as pretty much none of the judges want her working in their courts, the lucky girl was sent to a very easy department where she does a very simple work at the administration and that’s all! She is so smart! She is my idol!!! 
If they don’t give me my work leave back I will, little by little, start acting just like this girl. See what happens.
The weekend runs so fast! 
Like, its your Friday night… you “blink” and its your Sunday evening already. Bummer!
Anyway, yesterday morning it was raining quite a lot here. I was initially planning on having a walk around in a very nice shopping center called Downtown 
(I went there last time on January 2006 with Cam). Its an open sky mall (like a little “shopping city” with loads of shops, restaurants, movie theaters, etc….) 
Its so good to walk around there. It has such a special atmosphere. I would love to go there for a dinner out with my husband. They are always playing good music in many restaurants and there are so many good options. I dont know why, but there are many shops and restaurants that you cant find anywhere else in Rio. But… anyway, it was raining 
so I just had to go to Barra Mall instead. It wasn’t bad but wasn’t good as well. Nothing interesting to see. Hopefully the weather will be good next Saturday so I will spend my morning in Downtown Mall.
PS: why eat sweets when you can eat LOADS of sweet fruit???! 
When it was about 12:00PM I got the underground bus to Copacabana because, as usually, I was going to have lunch with my twin aunties. This underground bus is so good. Its very comfortable, with air conditioner, and its quite safe!
The aunties bought some very nice eggplant pastries. They are really good and low calorie. Its another option for me besides the usual ricotta-turkey or ricotta-raising-chicken pastries. In the evening I only ate fruits (watermelon and apples).
It was so good just that I and my husband just left Skype on for a long time and spent time “together” until I felt deep sleep.
There was some good TV shows on. My favorite channels are GNT and Discovery Home and Health. I watched Chef at Home, What not to Wear, Divine Design, Whats Good for You, Saia Justa…
The WONDERFUL news is that on March 19th I will be getting the plane! I will be on my way to New Zealand!! I will be flying to my Husband´s arms!!!!! I MISS him so much. He means everything to me. Its going to be another honeymoon for us. Cant wait to look into his blue blue eyes and feel his arms around my waist. Cant wait to caress his hair while he drives, walk around holding hands, do everything TOGETHER. 
I am looking forward to go to the Saturday Market with Cam and choose some nice and fresh products for his delicious cooking, to go on drives, to go to the Library, to meet my WINGS friends…. its going to be so much fun. I am sure.
My Check list to New Zealand: Jamie Oliver DVDs, plus cooking books, tooth paste, knife and fork set, frying pans, palmito, olive oil, kitchen towels bag ….. please, help me my Husband, if I forgot anything….
I LOVE you so much, my Darling Cameron. YOU are the love of my life.
