Sunday & Monday January 3rd & 4th, 2010
We are lying low, neither one of us is feeling great, don’t know what it is, head feels heavy, no get up and go, we both just feel like sleeping. Ross drove to the office in the afternoon, just in case anyone was interested in looking at properties, he came home after a couple of hours and did say he got a lead.
We did however go out to dinner last night with Dick and Mary Carmen. Dick called to let us know there was a restaurant in PV that closed and re- opened again in Nuevo Vallarta called The No Name Bar and Grill, they are claiming the best ribs in town, and did we want to join them, so of course we had to try them out. Dick picked us up and we drove to Nuevo (about 15 minutes south of us) and found it right away, it is in a brand new office complex close to Paradise Village on the second floor. There were a few cars parked outside, a prowler was one, wow, I can’t remember what state the license plate was from but it sure was pretty.
We went up the escalator and got a table outside on the patio, the waiters came right away and when both Mary Carmen and I ordered a glass of wine, he came back and suggested a bottle as this would be a better deal, so we ordered the bottle of Merlot (it was very good) and dick had a Sprite and Ross a Limeade. (It sure is funny how a lot of our couple friends the guys don’t drink but the women do???) Both Ross and Dick ordered the full rack of ribs and I ordered a half only, Mary Carmen does not eat much pork so she ordered a Hawaiian burger. It took forever for our meal to come but wow! The full rack of ribs overloaded the dinner plate on both ends, I wish I took a picture, none of us have seen anything remotely like it. My half rack filled the plate, we also got potatoes and veggies and someone ordered a plate of French fries, I have never seen either Ross or Dick take any food home from dinner but they both asked for take away boxes! Guess what we are having for dinner tonight!
Ross was already up when I surfaced this morning around 11 :30, it’s so nice to be able to sleep in when you aren’t feeling well instead of having to get up to go to work! The show Criminal Minds was on and it was the second part of the one where Garcia was shot, which was really nice as I had never seen that one yet. So we watched that, Ross showered and got dressed as he was to pick up his clients to see the bungalow they saw yesterday again. What a sad time it was when Ross drove up not long after he left, they were not at the hotel and they were walking around, she said her husband did not want to see the house today and basically don’t call us, we’ll call you. Both Ross and the other realtor were angry, that is not how you treat people! They should have called to cancel at least!!!
Ross went to lay down and after my shower I drove to the lateral to visit the vet to get some flea and tick medication for two of the cats (we have lots for the dogs but only 1 dose left for the cats, Wal-Mart only carried the ones for the dogs). It cost me 593 pesos so 2 doses and some heartworm medication for the dogs. I’m going to have to have someone bring it down for me from Edmonton as it’s not as expensive there!
Bruce and his lovely wife Bernice are flying in on the 12th and will be staying in Guayabitos for a month! We are going to pick them up from the airport here in PV and will drive them to their hotel, probably after having them visit our house first! Bruce is in Ross’s Beaumont group and he was the one that kept asking Ross for a band for his camping group, which of course Ross did, and everyone had a great time!
The weather has been really wonky here lately, lots of rain (which according to everyone it just doesn’t happen in dry season) we are having lots of cloudy days too. Not good for the tourists, they must be pissed that they spend a lot of money to come somewhere warm and it’s not sunny all the time. It is still warm, its 27 right now, but cloudy with a bit of a cool wind blowing. Great for us as it is a reprieve from the sun, ya I know, I’m not going to get any sympathy, and I don’t want any, I’m just telling it like it is.
We just got back from Wal-Mart; Ross took some of his drugs in to get refills (we can’t find his sleepy pills but got everything else) and I picked up some Pepsi. We are looking for some orajel (don’t know if I spelled it right), Ross burnt his bottom lip on the boat and it is really hurting him, but can’t seem to find it. We stopped in at Mega and the Pharmacia also no sleepy pills and no orajel.
I’m sitting here looking at my Christmas stuff too, need to start putting it away for another year. I don’t want to though, I’d like to keep it up all year round, but then it wouldn’t be special, so I won’t.
Ross doesn’t know whether or not he is going to be going to his meeting tonight, he is feeling really crappy. I think we will lay low again tonight and see if we can get a good night’s sleep tonight as its office duty tomorrow!
So I’m gonna say bye for now, hope everyone had a good Monday and we’ll be talking to you real soon!
Ross, Kim and Critters in Paradise!
