You Know What I Like...

Almost 2 months now and I've achieved "Regular"-status. Renee and I walked into the cafe across the street from the university for our usual midafternoon pick-me-up, and the bartender came around the bar, pulled out our stools, and before we could even sit down, our fresh cafe con leches were placed in front of us-- mine without sugar, of course. SIKE, I wish. Today, she recognized us though and remembered we took our cafe with hot milk. baby steps.

Actually, I go to the same fruteria every week, and the cashier and I exchange knowing smiles every Monday after my 8am class. I did get free garlic one time...or maybe it's just procedure when a customer only wants 2 cloves. (side note: at said fruteria, I bought 2 artichokes for the first time this week to experiment with- not sure if theyre worth the cutting process)

And its really cute- every time I go to tutor, I can hear the boys running to the door screaming "Bonnie" when I ring the doorbell.

I guess I have to stay here forever.
