I'm a liar...

Me and my coaching expertise :)

So....yo soy mentirosa (I'm a liar). The problem with me and speaking Spanish is that sometimes its so hard to actually get out what you're trying to say that I just have to bend the truth if you will. Now...I'm not saying that it's okay or anything, but I really only do it when the information needed isn't important. :) This past weekend when we were shopping for wedding dresses, I had to lie. Carolina was driving and I was calling places to make reservations. My name is impossible for latinos, so when the lady asked for my name I said Patricia, which is not my name. Then she asked for my last name...so I said Carolina's last name: Vargas. lol then she asked for my second last name (for they all have two last names here). That time I said that I didn't have one...because I was gringo. When we got there, Patricia Vargas was called and then I had to go up. The lady was like...we need a last name for you. I couldn't think of anything at the moment, so I said my actual last name bringing the final count to Patricia Vargas Wegman (which it took me 10 minutes to explain how to pronounce Wegman). Then the lady asked the questions I hoped she wouldn't ask: how I acquired that name....which is where the lie grew and grew. I then said I married Carolina's brother and that I moved to Costa Rica and that she was my sister-in-law and blah blah. The girls are just dying as I squirm. We finally get to the dressing room and another asks how we know each other. Finally Carolina takes one for the team and tells how we're all related and then looks at me in Spanish and in a sickenly sweet voice says, "mi cunadita." (which is sister in law). Of course we all just lost it. So there you have it. I'm a bilingual liar. Besides that...it's been a good week. We celebrated Drew's bday on Tuesday. My middle schooler's had a game on Thursday...only lost by 6!!! Clearly paying attention to the game :)Then on Friday we had a double header...except for the other coach forgot to bring his middle school team...lol. So we just played varsity. My guys played so good though and I even got the middle's in. We only lost by 6 and we were up for some of the game. It was so great :) Now we're house sitting for some missionaries here and just living the life: sleeping and eating. It's wonderful. :) God bless!
