i've determined (on my own) to stay home this entire week . . . well . . . most of the week that is. i had come home from helping out at the daniel's house on wednesday, did really well and stayed home until thursday . . . and then ended back up there that night, finally arriving home this afternoon. you know, some people are addicted to drugs, coffee, chocolate, or tv shows . . . i think i'm addicted to the daniels. this may seem at first glance safe and not destructive in any way. well, there are a few side-effects from this addiction.
first, i haven't done laundry in over a week (and i hadn't done laundry a week previously going to their house) so needless to say - i have no clean clothes. for the past several days my wardrobe has been that of two good friends.
second, i have no clue what is going on in my own home here because i have been away for so long. i have missed the memories that were being made, the new friends that were here and the plans that have been settled.
third, i have a hard time staying here at home without letting my mind wonder over to the daniel's house were i think to myself "i wonder what they're all doing right now?" i'm working hard on curtailing such thoughts . . . but it's hard.
so in my attempt to return to my life here in madrid, i have requested that the daniel's don't invite me over for anything until next sunday. they have graciously agreed . . . but i think i will be over there for one evening where i hope to enjoy the wonderful delights of one wonderful
girl's cooking. but nothing more than that!
i love summer!!!! this evening i made a large batch of
these . . . and by large batch i mean like five dozen. they are so tasty . . . and although it may sound like i'm a glutton for punishment by the large number made, i must assure you that before tomorrow is up . . . the house will be clear of them. i'm sitting right now in the family room, enjoying a great
movie with many wonderful friends/adopted family. to know that in the morning school does not call my name . . . what joy raptures my soul and causes such smiles to spread across my face that i have a hard time suppressing my delight! but for tonight i think i will try and settle down and enjoy the comforts of this madrid home.

Really, really, really good no-bakes. Yum. I haven't eaten those in so long; I'd forgotten how good they are!
Thanks.
What are you building at the Daniels?
