Who ... Me?

I am re-evaluating my favourite horoscope site in view of yesterday's prediction:

'Stop worrying, relax and enjoy yourself. That's an order. Do as you're told.' Er... Well, then, OK, I take it back. I have no right, as your astrologer, to start speaking like an army sergeant-major... but, then, I notice that, lately, you have been surprisingly acquiescent in the face of bullying behaviour. Some people keep criticising you, others keep insisting that you do as they suggest. Partly because you want to be nice, partly because you lack confidence, you are tempted to agree with them all. Don't you dare!'

That doesn't sound like me, AT ALL!!! LOL

It's going to be a busy week for me. On Monday, I had lunch with the "girls" at Chiles. We try to do this every Monday in order to catch up on the previous week's events, gossip, bitch about men, etc. A lot of fun but only if you're a girl. Then Monday night, we finally had the auction for Bob, the gentleman who passed away earlier this year. Lynnda Lucas, the owner of Que?Pasa, cleaned out Bob's apartment and organized his belongings so that they could be sold to help cover the medical expenses incurred during his hospital stay. Anyway, I didn't do much but I was happy to participate. After the auction, a girlfriend and I met another friend at the Cine Bahia to see Vanity Fair, starring Reese Witherspoon. We all enjoyed it but the few Mexicans in the theatre walked out half way through. Maybe it was the heavy British accents ...

On Tuesday, the weather was cool (25C) and cloudy so I didn't go to the beach. I dicked around at home all day and then met some ladies for dinner at Daquiri Dick's. We are trying to do this at least once a week, usually on a Monday or Tuesday night, and pick a different restaurant every week. Next week we're going to Mezza Luna so if you're interested in joining us sometime, send me an email! Today is another cool, cloudy day so again, no beach for me! I went to the bank and then stopped at a pub just over the bridge called Cary's and met the owner, Cary. Nice guy from Colorado who has a very nice place! Once I've eaten there, I'll let you know what I think. He says he does a fantastic filet mignon on the grill for only 135 pesos so we'll see ...

Tomorrow, I'm out at the Refugio for our first meeting of all the volunteers who want to be involved with the fundraiser in February. Now that I'm not working, I have more time to spare so I am looking forward to doing this again. I worked too much last year to do anything except participate in the Viva Diva fashion show. Then tomorrow night, I am taking some first timers downtown to view the processions to the Church. And then we will be partaking in the food offered by the street vendors -- tamales, pozole, churros, etc. YUM! Can't wait!

Anyway, that's it for now. Sorry it's just a quickie but my hands are still sore.
