Only in Mexico
>> Wednesday, November 08, 2006
There are now time share salesperson's IN the grocery store. At Mega.
Pick up some milk, bread...oh yeah, and a time share.
Wow.
(Please re-read the title of this post.)
Oy. Mexico
See that? Above?
Ah yes, that's real.
It's a centipede.
It's gelatinous.
It was in my sister's closet.
In one of her shoes.
It's nearly 5 inches long.

What wants to move to Cabo now?
Housing Update
>> Monday, November 06, 2006
(Where the house will be built. The back will face that mountain/canyon.)It was older.
(I'm trying not to be a princess.)
Definitely not worth $1200 anywhere but in Cabo where there is a housing shortage.
--
Mi hermana and I checked it out. I was/am looking at it with an open mind.
--
We left there and then went to check out a little community/subdivision that is in the process of being built. It's one of those quaint little, cute neighborhoods were there are several styles of homes - and everyone picks the one they like. We checked out the models - and they're great!
My sister bought one.
Yup. She bought one. (Or pardon, is in the process of buying one.)
It's a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath home that has both an ocean (slight) and mountain/canyon (awesome) view. It'll be finished being built in April, but will need slightly more work after that. (You know, like a kitchen, bathroom, etc.)
C. and I will then rent it from my sister. ;-)
SO! We have a LONG TERM plan! It's just during the interim that we must find a place to stay - just somewhere for like 6 mos. or so. SO, this is a super-great thing. My sister builds equity, etc. - we have a place to live!
My brother is also thinking of buying a 3-bedroom place up the road. Awesome.
So, as of right now - this is great news! VERY cool.
:-)
Looks like we'll be staying in Cabo for a little while...
(Inside of the house - a picture of a picture)
(Outside of the house. There are no garages here, really. See that little cover to the left of the front window? On the side of the house? That's where the washer and dryer go...outside of the house. Crazy different. I love Mexico.)Place to live
Today, my sister and I will be heading out and taking a look at a possible place for C. and I to live. It's a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo. Let's cross our fingers!
One of the concerns here is that there is NOTHING on the market. We got a call this a.m. that this was available and we'll check it out at 4. Hopefully it's nice and works out. If not, hopefully something else works out.
Fo Mo
>> Sunday, November 05, 2006
Four more nights, and I will see my husband, my dog, my house, my bed, my stuff and my other life. (**smile**)
I love it here, but I must admit - going home is worrisome for me--only because it's when I'm actually physically there that I miss my "old" life.
I'm much better with change. Make the decision, DO it, be done. Don't look back. MOVE on. I'm not good with waffling back and forth - and until C. gets here permanently, I feel as if going back and forth is "waffling." You know? I much prefer he comes here. (But then again, it's good to get out of this little place every so often. Everyone says it's absolutely necessary to do so.)
It's such a weird feeling to know that my life is now here (though not 100% of it), yet I still have some "life" back there.
I'm ready for both of my lives to meet up. Here. In Cabo.
I'm bracing myself though, I don't want to be overly sentimental about everything I own. You know? I have a feeling this will happen. Pictures on the wall, my dining room table, my bathroom, my bathTUB, all of my favorite things...
Ugh. This is going to kill me.
Hmm...
Dinner in Mexico
Tonight at dinner, an older, middle-aged white woman wearing an ill-fitting halter dress (complete with the obligatory vacation lobster-colored back sunburn), drank entirely too much red wine, shimmied and sang to a mariachi trio that played ALL of the verses of the ever-popular Mexican hit, "La Bamba."
Two thumbs up to that lady.
Definitely an exciting dinner with the fam.
Mexican Culture Observation 1,098
I'm not kidding - I'd say the average height of a Mexican man is maybe 5' 5". I'm not kidding.
There are days I feel like a GIANT here.
(Other story: On the way to the airport there was a very large cow dead on the side of the road.)
Ok.

Ok, I really like my job.
Yeah - I do. I really enjoy it.
The people I work with are great. (There's always some weirdos - but they're everywhere.)
I like it here.
Better
The 'ole Cingular bill was cut in HALF this month. (I still don't know how it was $300, but whatev.)
When I head back to T-town a week from today, I'm switching back to flippin' Verizon. Friends, I will then call you.
I'm feeling...
>> Tuesday, October 31, 2006
...better about driving here. I drove ALL around downtown Cabo last week, and to the airport 4 times - I'm feeling good.
Very empowering. Odd, I know. But really.
GREAT visit
It's been a LOVELY week:
- C. was here for the entire Company-sponsored fishing tournament. He was SUCH a help.
- We celebrated our anniversary (a couple days later) with a GREAT meal down in San Lucas.
- C. applied for his FM3 and it has ALREADY BEEN approved! Why is this good? Because we can begin to make FINAL plans for his actual LIVING and moving here. YAY!
- (Yay again to the bullet above.)
- We were able to stay in a $25 million dollar home for 2 nights. You guys, unbelievable. The view? Un.be.liev.able.
C. and I saw Ron Jeramey (porn star, Surreal Life, etc.) down at the airport. Um, let's just say, "ew." (Quite honestly, "ew" could be said again and again.) Slovenly and just gross. I think that Gene Simmons from KISS will end up looking very similarly to him. (Mr. Jeramey was the "special guest" at the Pimp 'n Ho this past weekend...) Read more...
Totally Safe
>> Wednesday, October 25, 2006
- Hurricane Paul came and went.
- We got lots of rain, flooded streets, etc. (Streets were TOTALLY fun to run in.)
- C. gets here today. :-)
- I'll be blogging more next week.
Not today
>> Tuesday, October 24, 2006
Well, Hurricane Paul won.
C. will NOT be arriving today. The husband's flight was cancelled and re-scheduled. He will be arriving tomorrow around noon.
Ugh.
However, at least he's safe.
Tomorrow's the day!
>> Monday, October 23, 2006
I'm SO EXCITED!
YAY!
Hopefully HE arrives, and hurricane Paul does not.
Not the BEST timing...
I certainly hope that hurricane Paul doesn't negatively impact my visit with my dear husband.
It's supposed to offer some hard wind, rain, etc. to us on Tuesday evening...(of course, around the same time that my C. is coming in town.) So, I'm bracing myself for a delay.
This is ok. Why? We've waited this long. I just want him to fly safely.
(According to my sister, this is pretty late in the season for a Cabo-area hurricane. The last time one hit this late was 1950.)
