Okay folks, it’s shameless self promotion time! W00T!1!11!!!
Well, not exactly self-promotion, more like this-benefits-me-ever-so-slightly-because-it-is-something-that-my-parents-own-and-therefore-helps-earn-extra-income-promotion. It’s pretty cool.

Let’s take it from the top. Thisis my mom. She blogs. Her blog is, according to alexa.com, cooler than mine is. Does this mean she is cooler than I am? No, but it does mean that she has way more time to blog, and has money to spend to promote her blog, whereas I only have a measly 70 cents.
She also owns a stationary company, Zuzus Petals. She also is my mom. Yeah. I’m that awesome.

Anyway, she’s not the topic of this post here. No, the topic is one of the coolest ideas that she has ever had (so far as I know)
I present to you….(drum roll please)….

Today, we are looking at the country of Spain, their language, and a certain awesome holiday in August. Let us commence.

This information came to me from my lovely mother who was forced to write a paper in spanish about a holiday called La tomatina, a day of throwing tomatoes at each other.

As you can see by the recent lack of posts, I’ve been busy. Mainly, I’ve been baking in this Chicago sun. For those of you who don’t know, Chicago is cold as Alaska in the winter and hotter (and certainly more humid) than, to be clean, the underworld (this is G movie speech for hell. But I do love Chicago. For those of you who also are suffering the I-need-to-get-out-of-my-house-and-do-something-in-society-that-is-semi-productive fever or you recently made a fortune off of blogging ($0.02 FOOLS!) and are planning a trip that you can’t wait for, fear not. We are almost done with winter. Now I’d like to present some pics that help your fever/anxiety. Oh, and be sure to get some cowbell. Check it:
