Oh oh! Behind Big Time.

Tom, Eileen and I did go to Mexico and had a good time.  We went to Jessica’s to order our meds.  Arturo invited us to have a margarita while they gathered them up.  We decided to have a bit of lunch while we waited.  I ordered lonches and they ordered a taco plate to share.  We were brought chips and salsa with our margaritas, Tom ordered a second drink and after our food was delivered and consumed, they brought a concha roll and two cinnamon rolls.  Total cost $12!  We were entertained by a couple doing Mexican native dances in various beautiful costumes.

Ted came home Thursday after Eileen and I had breakfast with the ladies.  I don’t remember all we did but I do remember telling him I was busy the whole time he was gone.  We played mahjong on Friday and Saturday night we went to Golden Chick for dinner.  After church we took in a show by the Punch Family.  It was a good show and we enjoyed it.  Sunday was another round of mahjong.

Karen and Dave were heading this way Monday and asked us to meet them at BJ’s for lunch.  Dave comes to shoot twice a week but this was my first opportunity to see them.  I certainly haven’t done much cooking!

Tuesday Ted went shooting and we played mahjong as usual.  That evening Eileen and I went to Rowe High School to see “Into the Woods.”  The scenery, costumes, acting and singing were terrific but it is kind of a weird Disney composition of many fairy tales.  I had read that the Disney movie of the story has been panned and I think I understand.  Younger children would miss a lot of the message and probably get confused.  There were a lot of Retama folks there.

We missed another dance class Wednesday when we met Dorsianne and Gary at Smoked Oak to check its suitability for a DRV Meet and Greet in February.  We were very impressed and chose 2/12 for the group meet.  Now we need to get the word out.

Here is HALF a chicken plate.  It was 5 pieces.  I ate two, Ted ate the leg and then finished the other two pieces for dinner Thursday night.  I never saw such a big chicken ever, anywhere!

From there we headed back over to Mexico for the last of all our med orders and mine.  The only ones left now are Ted’s eye drops and his analgesic cream he puts on his back and knees.  I got to feeling poorly so we didn’t stay there long.

Thursday I felt a whole lot better and used my time to go to the laundromat and do three loads of laundry.  I made three different kinds of treats for our Fashion Show Tea.  I filled three 8 x 8 foil pans that came with lids with peanut butter and lemon crinkle cookies and haystack candies.  I then wrapped them in foil and put them in the freezer until 1/31.  Friends of Eileen and Tom are coming next week and I wanted to get the baking out of the way so we are available to run.  Monday is our day to get our outfits for modeling and then three days of visitors and Friday will be the fashion show.

I forgot to mention I finally weighed in for January at WW and just made it!  A .2 more would have had me paying for being over.  Now I have until the end of February to get that 3# cushion back so I don’t have to be so concerned about being over goal.

I probably won’t write again until after the Fashion Show!
