I love it when the temperature "dips" to about 75 or 80 during the day and the locals wear turtlenecks, sweatshirts and sweaters and I'm still wearing sandles and sleeveless clothes.
I'm eternally stuck in July and I love it.
My sister (with whom I live) and her BFF left for San Diego today. I am here with Chloe, VeggieBurger and Marianna. (Brother B. leaves for T-town tomorrow a.m.) So, it's me and the kids until Friday afternoon/evening.
Anywho, Mena (the all-espanol speaking housekeeper-o-my-sister) pointed out when I got home (in Spanish, of course) that Riley (the semi-delayed intelligence-wise puppy rottweiler) ate poinsettias (I think that's poisonous) and that we're out of food.
So, she wrote me a grocery list. In Spanish. FUN! It's like a high-school Spanish class project. Here is what is said:
While C. was here, we did several things that are "new" to me and I am proud of them, so I shall record them here.
Ok, so this is both a sad and exciting day.
Sad, because my best friend just left. Again. And, because we won't see eachother again for a month. Ugh.
Exciting, because we're getting closer to our end. We're almost there.
**Sigh**
This has been a very long four, going on five, months.
As of about 4:00 p.m. today, C. can officially live and work in Mexico. His FM3 (about the size of a U.S. passport) was approved.
Wah-who!
Done. (This, my friends, is a huge relief.)
C. is still here.
Mom and little sister left this a.m.
I shall write tomorrow after C. leaves. (You know, when I'll have a boatload of "alone time" on my hands again.)
I'm leaving to pick C. up from the airport in 40 minutes. I'm having a difficult time concentrating...

Tomorrow at 12:30 I will pick up C. from the aeropuerto.
Tonight, I walked into the kitchen and there was ANOTHER centipede on the floor. This time about a 4.5 incher.
I stepped back, quickly.
Yelled to my nephew.
He came in, with a shoe, and proceeded to beat the crap out of it. He is my hero. (I told him that I'd campaign that he be un-grounded for his report card since he killed the bug for me. He said, "Seriously? Thanks, Aunt K.")

Friends, I'm <----------> this close to moving back to Ohio. These bugs are ridic.
I will see my husband in TWO days!
I will see my mom and my little sister in TWO days!
WAH-WHO!
Yay for TWO!
It's official.
C. recieved his background check from the state of Ohio declaring that he is indeed, NOT , a felon.
Whew.
(C. needed this letter to give to the Visa- granting Mexican government.)
Here's the bug that almost took us out last night.I just bought two swimsuits (online). In November. That I will wear in December.
Thumbs up to the weather here, friends. THUMBS UP.
All's well. Nice laid-back weekend.
Highlights:
Nothing new with me.
Worked.
Ate.
Painted my toenails.
Watched The Office.
Blogged.
Talked to my sister.
Did Laundry.
Who says living in MX isn't exciting?!
(Click to make larger)For the first time in my life, I feel like I'm doing what I want to do.
I'm living my life for myself and for my husband.
And, I'm happy.
It is a an invigorating, energizing and amazing feeling -- to get up, like your job and be proud that you're trying something new.
I only wish that my loved ones can experience a contentedness like this. Change is not for everyone, but everyone does have choices. I'm glad we made this one.
Yeah, there are a ton of things that are unresolved right now.
Yeah, there isn't a lot of certainty right now.
Yeah, it's a transitional period, but I ask for your understanding.
In no way am I attempting to ignore or vanish from the relationships that I hold so dear, instead... I am, we are, getting our lives together.
The logistics and complications that are involved with this transition are sometimes overwhelming and weigh heavy--however, they're temporary. Truly.
I appreciate any and all of the support that you've given to myself and C.
Thank you for your patience and unconditional love.
(As always, click to make larger.)I'm back from Ohio.
It was a whirl-wind visit. Flew in Thursday night, left for Cinci Friday a.m., (my friend B. got married), had the rehearsal stuff on Friday, got the computer fixed, had the wedding on saturday, picked up the computer, shopped for necessities and had a quiet "with-my-husband" dinner, got back to Toledo late Sunday night, ran one million errands and got my life together on Monday, and packed and left early this a.m.
I'll post more later.
