el burro sabe mas que usted

(this is such an old pic...i'm just so excited because i finally found a frame i love for it today)

so we moved nearly four months ago. we haven't really hooked up a tv because we have no need for it. i mean, we don't really watch much and the kid has dvd's...and she goes for days at a time without ever turning it on anyway. we did however, plug the rabbit ear thingies into our tv in the bedroom and nbc kinda comes in, so every now and then i catch law and order or saturday night live. anyway, last night, after snl got over, i still wasn't tired so i started to flip around to see if anything else happened to be viewable and do you know what i found? oh, i'll tell ya...the spanish channel! i have no idea how or why we have it, or if it's even a part of network tv but the point is is that we have it and i'm obsessed. now, for all intensive purposes, i have no idea why i'm not fluent in spanish. i took three years in high school and did really well with it. i worked for eight years in the restaurant industry, hung out outside of work with my spanish speaking co-workers, and even dated a mexican dude for years...no, he didn't speak much spanish but still...i'm trying to prove a point here. so anyway, i love this station. i hate soccer so that's my only hang up, but other than that i just listen. i understand little but am curious about more...one day i will speak it and i will speak fluently.

on this same note, because i had the spanish channel on for an hour or two today, my kid has decided to taunt me with my lack of foreign language skills. four times today i've heard, 'mom, you don't know everything ya know...you don't know spanish.' this has made me more determined to speak fluently so i can shoot back with something in spanish and then tell her to figure it out... i do love that she thinks i know everything but spanish though.
