My week has been going well...Angel came down on Friday and we had a short but AWESOME time.  Friday night we just went to a lil local Kendall spot called the Ale House....simple yet fun!  Then along came Saturday and we had QUITE the time...we went shopping!! YEAHHH! To Sunset Place---they have such lil cute kids boutiques down there..lil kids shoe stores, specialty shops, and a really cool mall that is outside but has a roof so ya feel like you are outside but not like it's a strip mall..if that makes sense! Anyways..it's a cool place--with a fountain and lil street vendors..it's cool.  We only attracted ONE oddball...when we were trying to cross the street this guy jumped up (his table filled with empty beer bottles and it's like 2 in the afternoon!) then he KARATE CHOPS a car that HAD stopped at the light and said..if they move I'll kill em! So..we shuffled right across the street rapidly...anyways..we got some cute stuff!  My favorite find were these really cool jeans that have a lil rip in the knee!  Then I FINALLY found a plain brown T-shirt that fit me..I NEEDED one to match these pants I've had for like two years...so it was a good afternoon.  Then we got home and got ready as fast as possible and met my friends from class on South Beach.  We went to OPA-it's a Greek restaurant and it was SOO cool.  At first when I walked in I was like woah..I thought it was a lil frenzied and was going to be chaos...but it was so much fun!  They throw napkins in large quantities..now I know it sounds crazy but it's actually great fun AND really pretty!  Then they randomly break plates and yell "opa"..Adam even broke a plate..then yelled OPA of course.  The waiters had shirts from the Olympics and I met a girl in the bathroom that went back to Athens (She's Greek) for the Games too.  My friend Helen from school is Greek so she told us about this place! Mad props heehee..oh and there were belly dancers and they get your average joe joe-ettes up on the table to dance.  Oh and the food was soo good.  I was risky and got something I hadn't had before (or seent it)..it was really good! Soo after this feast we heard there was a party a few blocks away being held by a PHD student in our program.  It was on the rooftop!! of "The Hotel" and it was beautiful..a narrow pool, cabannas, a lil bar, and it all overlooked South Beach and the ocean..it was SO pretty! A pretty quiet part because we got there so late but the environment alone was worth the walk! We had a GREAT night..didn't get home till late and we were all exhausted.  Angel had a really hard time sleeping all night because she was having chest painsSo her doctor was worried it could be the onset of something worse so she thought it was best Angel go home a couple days early...so she flew out on Sunday night Sad-but we had alot of fun while she was here!  Super Bowl was kinda sad for me...I was sad Angel was sick AND I saw a cat get hit on my way home so I was a bit of a basket case..after much comforting from Adam "Cats go to heaven too" and my mom (after she got over the panic that nothing was wrong with ME-she called during my basketcase phase).....and then MORE comforting from my brother "it's ok you couldn't get out to get it because it's owner should know what happened to it"...I felt better finally.  My lil group that I am learning Paint Shop in even made a lil cat with angel wings this week so I'm slowly but surely feeling better...it was terrible though...the poor lil cat! And the evil woman didn't even stop!  I am proud I didn't swerve though..it ran out in front of me first!  I'm thankful I didn't hit it though!  Sooo Super Bowl was not too happy the first half at least....BUT I was VERY happy to see Deion Branch win MVP! Nick knows him and played with him at U of L his first year.  So taht was exciting!  Since then it's been me and the books. I've been catching up on all my reading....assessments I'm ahead of our class (although that's not saying much as we are moving the pace of a freakin SNAIL learning addition) Research I finalized my research question..still waiting for my teacher's response to whether it's ok or not.  This weekend I think the coral gables art show is going on!! Which I am super happppy about cuz I LOVED it last year..it's outside on the Bay and there are TONS of vendors for you to look at their art...they even have really cool nursery places come..I got a lil window bud vase last year and a topiary that I had for months UNTIL I left it to Adam's care..when I returned it looked as though it had been set ablaze..Adam claims the sun "burnt" it...perhaps=lack of water! Anyways....we'll see! I hope it's this weekend.

Well..I'm off to bed..part of my Lent is waking up earlier to be more morning productive (with the rest of society)...I'll tell you the rest of my Lenten plans soon...

Love,

Kara

P.S. Here's a lil of what I've been learning through PaintShop...this is a gif I've made..it looks simple but involves a few things...I was pretty darn happy to get it done successfully so here it is! Soon I'll be able to do more of what I want.  I've got some ideas!

Then..here's a lil signature that one of my new found group friends teaching me PSP (Paint Shop Pro) made me...It's cute..and it's almost VALENTINES DAY! One of my favorite holidays of the year!
