Wednesday and Thursday June 23rd and 24th, 2010

What an awful night…………………….I thought for sure all the muscles in my body had been exercising for weeks without my knowing and had just now decided to protest! I truly feel like I have the flu, you know when all your body hurts? I had actually looked up on the net for symptoms of fibromyalgia a couple of weeks ago, I have a lot of the symptoms except it doesn’t last all the time, just sometimes, is this cause……., I don’t know……., I’m getting old!!! The last time I got up for some water was 3am, so I think I got to sleep at 4 – 4:30 maybe, only to be woken up by baby at 7:30! We had to get up early too; we had a safety meeting to go to at 10. We are going to take some concerns of safety for the residents and tourists of Bucerias to the officials here in Mexico to keep our little part of paradise safe.

After that meeting was over we drove over to a restaurant called Luna Luna for a luncheon meeting with John, Christy and the other Elements realtors. It was great; we had a great breakfast and learned some things that were happening. I am going to write a how to for the website, how to use cell phones, regular phones and 800 numbers, you have no idea how different it is using the different phones we have.
After that meeting Ross took baby home (I have to take her with us when we go anywhere for longer than a couple of hours), cause I was going to stop off at Sue’s house to pick up the yarn and dog treats that she brought back for us from their visit to Texas. She found the cotton yarn I was looking for but not the TLC soft yarn I asked her to look for, I think I got it when I lived in Colorado and is not sold (or hadn’t been) in Canada. She found the brand but not the soft stuff, oh well, I might try to see if anyone knows where I might be able to find it on facebook!!!

I got home and both Ross and I laid down for a siesta. We woke up at 5 with the phone, (how rude), putzed around a bit then met some friends at a restaurant not far from home for a shrimp dinner, including 8 – 10 breaded shrimp, rice, salad and 2 pieces of bread for 50 pesos! We will definitely be back!!!

We are trying to watch L & O but the weather station keeps interrupting with some tornado warnings and stuff, how rude! Ross is meeting a lady at the Oxxo at the Decameron cause she has purchased a mixer we were selling for a church.

Thursday I woke up again early as I was to be at Sue’s house by 9:30 so we could go over to Rita’s to do crafts for the Christmas bazaar. Some ladies belong to a sorority (including Sue and Rita) and they do 3 fund raisers a year and the one they are working on right now is the Christmas one. I crocheted pot scrubbers made from ribbons of very scratchy netting; you make 2 and then crochet them together. It was really cool they are also making paperback book covers, Christmas stockings, necklaces and more! It was a lot of fun!

After I got home we drove over to the immigration office to start the process for our renewal of our FM3’s. We talked with the girl behind the counter; she took a look at the form we had to fill out on the internet (and of course print), she made a few changes, told me to make the changes on the computer and print out the corrected one. We need 5 pictures each, 3 with a front image without glasses, 2 on the right side, a copy of our picture page of our passports and she also gave me a form (in Spanish) and told me I needed to fill it out in Spanish and bring that with me too. I spent a lot of this afternoon translating the page then having the English translated to Spanish, now you know some of the things I do all day! We are going to get our pictures done tomorrow (I don’t what helmet hair so I told Ross we had to drive) and start the process.

We have been watching 2 new shows, Rookie Blue and another called Bostonmed, it is kinda sorta a documentary, quite good. Well, Baby has had her last feeding so I’m gonna finish watching the show then I think it is to bed.
