Well here in South America everyone has a nickname. It is unlikely that you will be called your normal name by most of your friends. At the very least you will have an sita added to your name. So I am no longer Seth but sethsita. It is just a term of endearment. So Carmen is now Carmensita and and Pablo is pabloita (I think). But they like most everywhere else have other nicknames. Diego is kiki. Juan Carlos is lilitos. And I'm Set (you don't pronounce the H in spanish) y Hambre. This is a really good and funny nickname I think. In spanish (for those of you not familiar with language I am trying to learn) sed is thirsty and hambre is hungry. So it is a play on words with my name. So I'm now thirsty and hungry, which is also good because most of the time I am those things. I like that everyone here has nicknames. I've previously had nicknames and tried to give my self nicknames but they haven't really stuck. But maybe this one will...

- I'm a twenty-something mompreneur who left my job in Washington, D.C. to fulfill my dream of being a stay at home Mom. With a love for entertaining and designing dessert tables, I could spend all of my time creating an event or thinking of an excuse to host a party! When I'm not changing diapers or blowing bubbles, I can be found searching for fresh inspiration, from different fabrics, colors, pictures, life events, etc. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
