A REPEAT Visitor!

So my dad is coming to visit July 1-12th. I am SUPER-pumped! It's awesome. We have quite the travel plans in front of us. We're going to explore a part of Nica that I've never been to. It's sort of like the last frontier for me. He's going to put his hard-earned Spanish to use. We're going to have some quality bonding time. I'M SOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!

Outside of that...what's new...the scorpions appear to have left the building (thank God!). For a couple of nights I had a frog invasion. There were about 6-8 itty-bitty one inch frogs jumping all over my house. Yet another use of the mosquito net; one hopped right on top of it! Without that net I don't think I would be able to sleep at night. Something killed all the frogs because when I woke up after the second night...their bodies were littering my floor.

Now the mice are back. I started putting out the poison a few nights ago. I found a dead one last night...freaked out...called my sitemate...and swept it out. I know there is at least one more (I saw it fleeing the scene...possible murder????). Mice are so gross.

I wonder what will be next?

Everything else is good. My community classes are prepping for their exam. I'm finally closing the older section and might start a new beginners' section. We'll see how I feel after my dad's visit though. I'm STILL waiting for the books to arrive from the international book project...they were shipped at the beginning of April.

If anyone is thinking of shipping me a package, do it before September 1st. Otherwise I'm afraid I won't get it before I leave in NOVEMBER! Craziness. Time is really flying (and in a few short months, I will be too!).

Miss you!
