La vida de mi casa

So I haven’t said much about my home life for a while, but things have been pretty good. My Señor is so cute and funny, a couple days ago he remembered that this one food we were eating, tortilla de camarones (shrimp), was my favorite, so he barely ate any and said the rest was for me because I liked them so much. It actually ended up being entirely too much food and I could barely finish it because it was so much, but it was really thoughtful that he remembered it was my favorite.

My roommate and I never asked my Señor what his job is, and now since it’s so far into the semester, it would be extremely weird and awkward to ask, so Rosie and I keep snooping around trying to find clues to figure out what he does for a living. For a while, I seriously thought he didn’t have a job because he spends so much time at the house helping out with his autistic son and housework. But we decided that the money they get for hosting Rosie and me isn’t enough to sustain the family, so we began developing theories as to what he does.

Our first was that he is some type of manager of a store or something because he receives a lot of phone calls, and that job may not require leaving the house a lot. But I didn’t think that was it because he would have to spend a decent amount of time away from the house anyway, plus I noticed that his college diploma is on the wall of the son’s bedroom, so I thought that might mean he has some type of more advanced or specialized job.

My next guess was he is a professor at the University of Sevilla, because then he would only have to leave the house for the classes, which could be pretty short and scattered at weird hours. But I have never seen him grade any papers, and he would probably have to have office hours, so I ended that theory.

My current guess is he is a stockbroker. I’ve seen him on the computer, and he could easily do this job from home, so I think it’s a good guess. Plus, he read the newspaper extremely faithfully, so maybe he’s checking up on the economy??

So other random things about my house that are interesting:

1. My Señor’s ringtone on his cell phone is the theme song to Pirates of the Caribbean

2. My Señor and Señora rode on the horses together at Feria when they were younger and dating

3. My Señora told us how when she was younger, one time when she went out for Feria, she left on a Friday night and stayed out partying and dancing until Monday morning.

4. My Señor is a hardcore Sevilla fútbol team fan, and when he watches the games, he yells and screams at the TV as if the people on the screen can actually hear him.

5. I think my Señor knows more English than he lets on, because he keeps saying random stuff in English, like sugar, coffee, Sunday, and a lot more.

So I guess that is all for now.

Hasta luego.
