I had one last "kick at the can" as a Viva Diva last week on Thursday. Jackie asked me to be in a style show out at Casa Velas at a luncheon for some golfers' wives and I agree to do it. Why not? I got to dress up, wear fabulous jewellery, hang out with the some of the prettiest women in Vallarta (the Viva Girls) for the afternoon AND get paid for it. First honest job I've had since October! Actually, it's the ONLY job I've had since October.
I've vowed to take the $500 pesos and buy a pair of shoes with it. Anyway, during my second change (we did three -- different colour pareos, hats and jewellery), I tied by pareo in an over the shoulder style that took about one minute to do. Apparently one of the women at the show loved my creation so much, she was in the store an hour later buying the exact same colour pareo so I guess I earned my money.
The first Goddess, Mary Ann, arrived from California the same day so we arranged to have drinks at CCs and then dinner at Machis BBQ. It was nice to have Mary Ann all to myself for an evening so we could get caught up before the other Goddesses arrived the next day.
I have tried to start packing for my departure but, everytime I put something in a box, I need it so I've kind of given up. I think it will only take me a couple of hours anyway so I suppose I will leave it to the last minute, like I do everything else. Its seems I've really taken this "mañana" mentality to heart after living here for over two years.
