Have I mentioned that I LOVE mail?

We've lived in our little house for a little over a month now, and today I finally got around to making my room a bit cozier. My room is the largest of the three, but also the most institutional looking, with it's tile floors and white walls. It bears a strong resemblance to a hospital room. The tile is oh-so-cold on my toes when I have to wake up at the cold, crack of dawn. (Indoor heating does not exist in South America, unless it's of the solar type.) I bought a small throw rug, complete with llama motif for my floor, and a colorful blanket for my bed to add some color. I finally took down that creepy Jesus poster that was on my wall. In addition, I've been hanging up anything I've received in the mail onto my walls to help cover up all that whiteness. So thank you, Amy, for the pictures (and CDs!), and BethAnne for the note and postcard, and Sajan and Alison for the letters, and mom and dad for the card, and Holli for my second annual Single's Awareness Day card (Another fine job, you should pitch the idea to Hallmark.) They all help. However, there is still a lot of whiteness left, so if you get the urge to help bring back the lost art of letter writing (which is a very worthy cause), throw in a picture or two, or just sent a postcard. I ALWAYS write back. (My roommates are very impressed by my devotion to letter writing.)

For those of you who are wondering, Peru does not observe Daylight Savings Time, so I am now an hour behind you east coasters, and am on even ground with my midwest fans.
