La Caperucita Roja - Little Red Riding Hood

Como ella me senti hoy al hacer una caminata por el bosque...  la unica diferencia es que yo estaba con la esperanza de que saliera el lobo feroz y me comiera para terminar con mi sufrimiento.

Dejenme explicar...  a mi no muy que me gustan la naturaleza y el ejercicio.  Por el otro lado, a Mark le gusta caminar por el bosque.  Asi que mis dos opciones eran:  quedarme en la casa, o irme con el para estar juntos.  Yo escogi la segunda opcion sin saber que esta caminata era una pesadilla porque toda la primera parte era en subida por la montaña!  En lo que yo medio respiraba, con mis gluteos en fuego, mi corazon a punto de salirseme atravez de las costillas y un dolor de cabeza insoportable, yo seriamente le trataba de buscar la belleza a la naturaleza, pero fracasaba.  Tambien trataba de convencerme de que el ejercicio es bueno y me va a ayudar a tener unas piernas bonitas, pero una vez mas fracase en encontrarle el gusto.

Eventualmente las cosas mejoraron...  El suelo se nivelo y el camino se volvio mas ancho.  Vimos una casa vieja y una "cooling house" (creo que el agua pasaba por adentro de la casa y de alguna manera se enfriaba).  Y hasta logre gozarme unos momentos, como cuando tire bellotas por encima de la cabeza de Brandon.  Las bellotas cain enfrente de el y una hasta le pego en la cabeza.  El ahora esta convencido de que las ardillas lo odian y lo estan tratando de atacar!

































 
That is who I felt like today while hiking through the woods...  the only difference is that I was really hoping that the big bad wolf would come and eat me so I could be out my misery.

Let me explain...  I am not too fond of nature or exercise.  Mark on the other hand really enjoys hiking.  So my choices are: Stay home, or go and spend some time with him.  I chose the second option without knowing that this hike had the added nightmare that the whole first part was uphill!  As I was panting up this hill with my gluteus on fire, my heart threatening to come through my rib cage and a pounding headache, I was seriously trying to find the beauty in nature, but failed.  I kept also telling myself that the exercise is good for me, and this will help me have good looking legs, but once again, it failed to make me enjoy it.

Things eventually got better...  The ground became a little more leveled and the path was wider.  We saw an old house and a cooling house (I think the water flowed through it and it was cooled somehow).  And, I even got to enjoy a couple of moments, like throwing acorns over Brandon's head.  They would fall right in front of him, and one even hit him on top of the head.   He is now convinced that squirrels hate him and were trying to attack him!

  2. Got to ask you, are you actually writing this out 2 times or I'd there some auto translation going on here??

  3. Yes Kim, I do write it two times... The auto translators are good for a couple of words here and there, but they are not the best. I know somebody that typed: Are you mad?, when they wanted to ask somebody if they were angry, and it came back as: are you crazy? hahaha
