Friday, Saturday and Sunday January 22nd, 23rd & 24th, 2010
I didn’t realize it has been so long since I updated everybody! Friday was a good day, we thought that Francisco and company were going to be here around noon, so we just kinda putzed, they never did show up! Ross went to his meeting then once he came home we drove to Wal-Mart to pick out paint colours for the front of our very white house, but they didn’t have anyone to mix the paint that late, which was ok cause we changed our minds about the colour. We drove to Korsario’s for dinner then decided to drive to Centro where Bucerias Gardens is (a bar in the heart of town) to listen to the band and see if we can get Ross’s band in there to play, wow it would be cool to play in your own town! There was a very good band there, Ross sat in for a few songs and the owner is going to come down to Ana Banana’s, where Juan-Ted is playing on Friday to listen to them. If he likes them, he will have them play every Wednesday! Yahoooooooo, more money in our pocket!
Saturday was hard to wake up, Friday was a late night. Ross’s band is playing in Lo de Marcos (a small town around ½ hour away) for their Amigos Lo de Marcos party. They played in the square and were a big hit. They started at 5, then had to stop for an hour as they had church services outside by the square for an hour and they told them they would have to stop, we hope that’s not going to happen in a couple of weeks when they go back there to play for their fund raiser party. They played; I think until 9 or 10, their tips were more than they got paid. They all got paid 500 pesos and the tips almost totaled 2,000 pesos divided by 3 is more than 600 pesos, they made off great! The weather was about perfect, they sky was blue with no clouds and in the evening there was a nice breeze off the ocean.
Today, Sunday we decided we were going to go to the movie, Avatar, but the only theater that had any listings was the one in the Soriana mall and theirs was only in Spanish. We ended up going to Up in the Air with George Clooney; it was ok, but nothing great. We stopped at the Galleria mall to see why they don’t have any of their movies in the internet, apparently, they changed their computer system and they are having problems with it, it doesn’t matter where you are, computers rule! Avatar is on at 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 (I think) so we are going to have to try to get there, everyone is saying it is a must see movie. We left Francisco and workers at the house to work on the cement for the roof and when we got back they were still here! They were just finishing up, wow, they are good workers, it looks so good, and they even made a little swirly swirl with the concrete!
I called Stacy to ask him his advice on what walls to paint with what colour as he has a good eye, he said that what we wanted will work, so off to the paint store to buy paint as Francisco will be back at 3:30 to start the painting. Stacy wasn’t feeling very well when we talked, it seems that Cami and Jessie also got the bug that he has. We can hardly wait until the house is painted, our house looks so blah! Ross cooked pork chops the dinner tonight and I made stovetop stuffing (I bought it for a bit of comfort food) and Knorr noodles. It was great, but after cooking I really wasn’t hungry (I hate it when that happens) so I ate a bit and Ross ate the rest.
It’s 20 minutes to nine so I think we will put corrie street on to watch a bit before hitting the sack. I still have laundry in the dryer so I will wait until that is done before going into the bedroom.
So without further ado, Adios for today and hope everyone has a great week!
