Lidia has to go to a notary up in Mexico City today, so we told her not to fix us comida- that we would do our own thing. So we're going to go up to Costco, Mega and make our way over to Burger King to get some crowns with mexican on them so I can laminate them and use them for birthdays at school. How cool is that?
Not much else is going on. Maybe we'll mosey over to the market today. I need to go to the grocery store to get some shampoo and conditioner. We bought some in Acapulco since we forgot ours here in Cuernavaca, and in my drunken stooped of sickness, I left them in the shower for the maids. Dang stoopers.

Tuesday #7
I only have 1 more monday, one more sunday, and one more tuesday left. I am SOOO uberly excited. I can't tell you how much I'm ready to be done with this place. I just don't want to do it anymore. It reminds me of the last 2 weeks of teaching, where we don't get a dang thing done without pulling teeth. I feel like one of my students. I'm glad I didn't pressure them into much that last 2 weeks- it would have been suicide.
So not much else is new here. We're almost done with Breaking Dawn. I think Drew is still wanting to go to Tepotzlan this weekend since 6 Flags is out. I don't care if we go. I want to head up to the zocalo and market one last time to get a cd and hopefully some stuff for xmas for drew's brothers.
Yeah, I guess that's about it. I am ready to go home and eat lemon bars.

Sunday #6, Monday #6
11 more days, *Happy dance* 11 more days!!!
Yesterday, we didn't do a darn thing. It rained all morning, so we didn't go to church. Wet streets = wet people = angry, angry maddy and drew. It was much better to just stay home. Also, Drew wasn't feeling well, so we just chillaxed all day.
I got through 3/4 of Jane Eyre. I am loving that book. I am loving that it is so old, yet Jane is such a strong willed individual. It is wonderful. I hope it turns out just as well.
I almost have all of Breaking Dawn downloaded, so I know what Drew and I are doing tonight!
Nothing else too exciting. Lidia's nephews are gone, sierra is gone. It was very quiet yesterday!

Saturday #6
Our plans got squashed, right in our faces. Museum in Mexico no more. Apparently, not enough people signed up for it- so our money was refunded and nothing to do.
I got to page 171 last night when Drew came down- he wanted to read it too, so we started over and got through the first book. I'm still scavenging for the last 2 pages of chapter 14 and the rest of the book. I have a copy sitting in my beautiful home so I know I'll at least get the stuff once I'm home, but I'm hoping some kindly sole will let me in on the secrets....or at least reread the spoilers that have already been given. :)
So we're hanging out at the school today, Drew wants to go swimming so he wore his suit, but I have some issues with the pool here, so I think I'll just put my feet in.
Sierra left this morning. Apparently, she was still drunk as snot when she got up this morning and Lydia said something to the extent that she was like a cockroach and lydia was going to spray her with raid. It made me laugh. But now the house seems empty and I'm sad. I can do this, right?

Friday #7 Things that make you go hmmmmm
I could really go for some cookies about now. We didn't bring any, and we're kind of done spending monies. Daaanggggg, guess I'll have to wait.
Lucy bummed out on us for our trip to Tepozlan on Saturday. Which, in reality, isn't a bad thing. The school is doing an excursion to Mexico City to see the oldest and largest Cathedral in America, 2 other places, and the Anthropology Museum. It's expensive, and we've way overspent our money here. Good thing food and bills can be paid with credit cards is all I'm saying! But I really love museums, and think that going would outweigh the financial struggle it'll put us in.- cause you know, it's only money, and I get paid in October - so it's not THAT big of a deal, right?!
A TON of people are leaving tomorrow. The community college from Colorado and Wisconsin are both going - I'd say it's a good 50-6o people. YES! It will be interesting to see if any other large groups come. - I doubt it though since summer is winding down. Thankfully I know of at least 4 of us that will be here for at least the next 2 weeks. I always have this fear of being alone. hahaha
Let's see, what else..... Oh, for dinner last night - this dinner always makes me laugh. It's pot roast+potatoes+carrots with all the traditional mexican dinner fixings (rice, beans tortillas). So what do you do with this? Well I'll tell you! You cut up all your meat, potatoes, beans, put them all in a tortilla with your rice and beans and EAT it! hahaha Oh man, it's hysterical! I usually don't eat the tortillas, but still do the whole mixing of my foods into a pile. It's quite the interesting combination of flavors. I always want to take a picture of my food, but always feel a bit self-conscious and reluctant to do so, so I don't.
So there you have it, I think that's about it for the day.
OH! I did finish Messenger yesterday. Well, started it and finished it. I've decided that maybe I don't necessarily care for Lois Lowry. Things happen in her books that I don't necessarily enjoy. I loved the CONCEPT of The Giver, but didn't like the ending. I enjoyed the CONCEPT of Gathering Blue + Messenger, I just don't like how the story unraveled. Oh well. At least I still have Stephenie Meyer! hahaha
