- Got pregnant.
What are five things (in no particular order) on your to-do list for today?
- Kill some ants (not on my list but had to do it, my studio was swarming with ants.)

Eeee! You just reminded me of all the snacks from Mexico that I love. Did you just say the word "chamoy"??? Ah! I'm glad I'll be going soon, otherwise I would be able to deal with the desire. And mango with lemon and chili powder...pocas cosas tan deliciosas.
It's nice that you've lived in so many different cities in Mexico. I always feel like I have only lived in Mexico partially. D.F. is Mexico but, like New York, it does not always give you a sense of other great things that make up the country.
Mmm, chamoy, concuerdo con Adela. Y por fin sé a dónde viviste en EU, en Florida, ¿en qué ciudad?. Río de Janeiro es una ciudad deliciosa. Yo sufro de lo mismo, dejar cosas regadas y el internet, creo que sí deberíamos de restringirlo, de menos en horas al día...En fin, seguimos por acá.
Great list and interesting to read!You lived already on nice places!
