The Spanish Language

I'm Canadian, so while I might be able to muddle out a bit of French, the only bits of Spanish I know were taught to me by my daughter, which she learned from watching Dora and Diego. So basically I can count to 5 and say "vamonos" when I want her to get going.

I guess that's why I had a rough time with this sentiment. First I had "Mucho gracias Amigo" which I then found out was wrong. On my next go round, I had the correct spelling but I cut it way off-centre with my Nestie. Now it's done and on the card, I do believe that "technically" the card would have to be given to a man 'cause if it were given to a woman it should say "Muchas gracias Amiga." Hmmmm....maybe I should have just used the sentiment that Marlene used here. (Warning: There are expletives on her site, specifically on this card. Now you really want to go see it, don't you?)

Okay, so ever since I started my blog (well, maybe not right from the get-go, it was probably a good six months or so before I realized you could change it from just "Leave your comment") I've tried to come up with something witty to type here.

*sitting with brow furrowed in concentration*...*staring at the ceiling while pursing lips*...*resting with head on hand while tapping foot*...

Nope, I still got nothing.
