Sunday & Monday March 7th & 8th, 2010

I was right, we stayed at home and vegged all day it was wonderful!!! We got up a bit early this morning as Lily was coming at 11 and since I didn’t shower yesterday I thought I’d better do that today. Lily got here at 11, we sure missed her, we haven’t had her in our house for about 2 months, we tried Shelly, Nick’s wife, but we could never get a hold of them, Nick never answers his phone. We hugged and chatted for a bit before she started cleaning, she even cleaned the screen on our back door, yucky, she said, very dirty!!! Now I have a very clean house and a wonderfully clean back door screen.

The weather is much better today than yesterday; I think it got up to 31, today its only 26. Because of El Nino, we won’t experience dry season until next year, the humidity yesterday was 70%!!!

I did a boo boo….I had decided to make popcorn balls (cause I had a craving) but we didn’t have enough butter in the house. Ross needed the car, I thought at 5:30, so when I couldn’t find any at Oxxo I drove to Mega. Poor Ross, he had to pick up a friend 5 minutes away, if the traffic is good, and I only gave him 3 minutes, I hope he will forgive me.

I made the popcorn balls, I had to change the small pot I used for the candy to a larger pot so it wouldn’t boil over (It did a little anyway) and I poured it over the popcorn, I guess candy recipes need to be adjusted for sea level (I went on the internet and need to do some more research cause I couldn’t find anything that popped out at me) cause they really didn’t go into balls easily and the candy went a little sugary. It never does that in Edmonton!!! I put the stuff that wouldn’t even try to go into balls into a container and I have been nibbling!

Ross just got back from his meeting with a good friend Mike and it took him 4 minutes to drive to his house to pick him up and they got to the meeting 10 minutes before it started so I‘m off the hook, yeah! I offered some popcorn candy, Ross agreed with me that it just wasn’t the same. Damn.

They have set up the new old screen and will try it out with a movie. I’m watching HGTV and finishing my blog. I am almost done dubbing all our VHS tapes to DVD so I’m switching those also as I write. Well I think I’m gonna say bye for now and will talk to you again tomorrow.

Ross Kim Mike and Critters in Paradise!
